[NU Sports] What Happened? (was: "NU the 12th tallest team in the nation...")

[dave bradley]

Some interesting data that perhaps speaks to the degree of success this year...that being said and at the risk of igniting a possible email firestorm,  what the heck happened last night? (I was not able to be home to watch the game, mercifully I guess...).

I occasionally check out the Pomeroy rankings and one thing I noticed was we were the 12th tallest team in the nation.

Other than point guard(Juice) we had advantage at each position with the greatest at power forward +1.9" with Coble.

Here is an article talking about effective height

Here is the rest of the Northwestern Pomeroy data

Nash is 39th best in steals percentage in the nation and Coble is 20th in turnover rate.  As a team we excel in not turning the ball over(39th) and getting turnovers(12th).
