The Schedule Lightens Ever So Slightly: A Brief Stats Update
THE SCHEDULE LIGHTENS EVER SO SLIGHTLY…
We’re starting to find the downslide of the second stretch of “AHHHHH!” in the Big Ten schedule, and there is probably not a better time to provide a minor stats update than coming off a nice win in Columbus. They’ll be charted below, of course, but the four factors in this specific game where as follows:
Michigan eFG% - 49.06%, Ohio State eFG% - 47.12%
Michigan OREB% - 42.42%, Ohio State OREB% - 24.24%
Michigan FTR – 41.51%, Ohio State FTR – 30.77%
Michigan TOV% - 12.56%, Ohio State TOV% - 11.93%
So, for this game, we managed much better rebounding and we got to the line considerably more than Ohio State. Actually, in reply to a question asked in a game thread recently, offensive rebounding has been trending better. See the conference trend below:

We still maintain a considerable shooting advantage overall, and the gap that exists in our offensive rebounding percentage is narrowing. We also still play a pretty clean game in comparison to our opponents and end up at the line much more often. Some people have talked about the elevated turnover rates, and they aren’t seeing things – the trend is slightly upward, although it has been better lately. See the conference results below:
That also reflects in this trend of assist / turnover ratio, which as you will note is trending downward overall (we average about 14 assists to 10 turnovers per game in conference play at this point):

Good information but on a quick note you have Iowa in your graphs twice. I am assuming one of them should be Michigan since they aren't listed.
February 12th, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
the teams we've played. Hence, Nebraska listed twice as well.

I suppose I should start putting "at" in there for away games to help clarify things. I will go back and fix that for future updates, especially if I am going to post the trending like I did here. Sorry about the confusion, everyone.

Thanks for the clarification.
February 18th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
I think its because we have played them twice already

One of the best parts of MGoBlog is the analysis like this. Can't really go anywhere for this stuff. Thanks LSA!
