Statistically Speaking: Record Breaking Season

The 2011-12 MIT Basketball Team has certainly established itself as arguably one of the most prolific MIT squads of all time.  The team's most important accomplishments are undoubtedly the first ever MIT sweep of the NEWMAC regular and post season championships and first ever trip to the NCAA Division III Final Four.  However, this year's team has broken many other marks, both collectively and individually.  We break them down below:

Statistically Speaking

This is how MIT players stack up statistically in the NEWMAC. Stats are for games through 1/15. Only statistics in which an individual is in the Top 15 are listed. 

Of Note:

- MIT players take up 48 of the possible 195 positions (15 positions in 13 categories), or 25%

- Senior Billy Bender is ranked in the Top 15 in more categories, 12, than any other player in the NEWMAC

Statistically Speaking

This is how MIT stacks up statistically in the NEWMAC and against other NCAA DIII teams across the country. Stats are for games through 12/12/2010. Only statistics in which MIT is top 2 in the NEWMAC as a team (or top 100 in the NCAA) and top 15 in individual categories are listed (or ranked by the NCAA). Note that the NCAA does not rank all categories that the NEWMAC ranks. Also, Noel Hollingsworth does not qualify for NCAA rankings yet, as he has missed some games due to injury. Therefore, he is only listed in the NEWMAC categories.

Statistically Speaking

This is the final NCAA version of Statistically Speaking for the 2009-2010 season. All DIII games for this season have been completed. Note that the NCAA ranks only a subset of the statistical categories the NEWMAC ranks, the NCAA ranks a different number of players in each category, and the NCAA has different minimum guidelines to rank players in each category compared to the NEWMAC. For example, Will Tashman has a higher FG% for the season than Noel Hollingsworth, but Tashman does not meet the minimum requirement for field goals made to be ranked in this category, while Hollingsworth does. Therefore, Hollingsworth is ranked by the NCAA in this category and Tashman is not.

Statistically Speaking

This is the final NEWMAC version of Statistically Speaking. All conference teams have been eliminated from the post-season. Once the NCAA tournament is complete in two weeks, we will also have a final NCAA version of Statistically Speaking. Because this is the final week, we have listed every individual statistic that was ranked by the NEWMAC (no top 10 requirement as in previous weeks).

Statistically Speaking

This is a new weekly column we will be running that summarizes how MIT is doing in terms of statistical rankings on both the National (NCAA) level and in the NEWMAC.

MIT leads the NEWMAC in 8 statistical categories and is top 16 in the nation in three of those categories (Scoring Defense, Scoring Margin, and Rebounding Margin). Individually, Mitchell Kates is ranked in the top 10 in seven seperate statistical categories, and he leads the conference in steals and assists. Noel Hollingsworth has been a force for MIT in the paint, leading the league in rebounding and FG%, while trailing the league leader in scoring by just 0.1 points per game. Jimmy Burke, Will Tashmen, Billy Bender, and Billy Johnson also are currently in the top 10 in multiple statistical categories. A full summary can be found below.
