Illinois just lost a game that they had 7 KILLS in. This is a massive outlier.
👇🏼
Mike Brey calls them KILLS.
Tony Bennett calls them GAPS.
Bruce Weber calls them SHUTOUTS.
Buzz Williams calls them TURKEYS.
If you're looking for a defensive stat that is arguably the most PREDICTIVE stat in basketball, it's 3 STOPS IN A ROW.
This isn't a stat you'll find on https://t.co/EgCrXMm7eT or https://t.co/VR8iz3v3fI but according to Mike Brey, who religiously tracked 3 stops in a row, win % is ~ 90% when you accomplish this 7 TIMES in a game.
Build your defense around stringing together consecutive stops. This allows for better scoring opportunities, gives you the ability to micro manage your defense during the game and most importantly provides a ton of ENERGY.
Year 1, Team 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. So many positive memories of this season. Thankful for these guys buying in from day 1 and the growth they made from start to finish. We appreciate you Rowing The Boat with us this season.
