NET no longer uses the point differential capped at 10. It's strictly efficiency margin now. Still a good win.

When did this change happen?

The big question...what is efficiency in this context? In concept?

It’d be great if the NCAA told us

The big question...what is efficiency in this context? In concept?

It’s basically your points per possession minus your opponents points per possession (turnovers bad, rebounding good) then it’s massaged based on who you’re playing and whether it’s home or away. what has helped our net so far is we’re undefeated on the road. If we can continue to play well on the road, rebound we’ll and limit turnovers we’ll continue to climb in the NET.

edit: for today’s game our Points Per Possession (ppp) was 0.984 while USFs PPP was 0.823. It’s possible that you could win a game and have a negative efficiency.

I will forever drive the Jeffries was underrated bus, but Rachal's efficiency numbers are almost matched across the board this year and he's doing it with a 26% usage rate in more minutes per game.

Rachal	9	75.8	110	25.9	26.8	57.1	61.2	7.2	18.3	15.4	19.2	4.4	1.9	4	4.9	38.8	30-38	0.789	35-62	0.565	14-36	0.389
	G	%Min	ORtg	%Poss	%Shots	eFG%	TS%	OR%	DR%	ARate	TORate	Blk%	Stl%	FC/40	FD/40	FTRate	FTM-A	Pct	2PM-A	Pct	3PM-A	Pct
Jeffries	31	67.5	113.8	22.1	23.5	58.4	61.7	5.5	16	14.5	15.2	5.2	2	4.3	4.2	40	83-110	0.755	93-152	0.612	45-123	0.366

I actually looked it up after saying it, not expecting Rachal’s numbers to have climbed as high as they have in the past few games. I agree that I am wrong for the moment... but it will be hard for anyone to keep that level of production up for the entire season. I will be glad if he does though!
