Our average margin of victory in the SEC is 17 points. I'd have to assume that's about the best in the league.
Impressive stat: one shimmer of silver lining from the MBB season

This has to be the greatest example ever of the saying "statistics are for losers".
I don't know man. An average margin of victory in conference games of 17 points is close to historic I would imagine.
Sure, the season didn't quite live up to expectations, but it's hard to ignore that eye-popping stat.
That statistic should be put on a plaque and displayed in a prominent place in CLA. It should be noted on the plaque that that average is for the SEASON!
It would be reminiscent of a story I read years ago about a race staged in the Cold War years between a Ford race car and a race car built by the Soviets. The Ford won easily but the newspaper headlines in Russia the next day said:
"RUSSIAN RACE CAR FINISHES SECOND, AMERICAN CAR NEXT TO LAST"
