Marquette Basketball Four Factors: vs Georgetown

It was a wild shooting night on Tuesday, and I don't mean in the "inaccurate" sense of the word.

If you're not familiar with the Four Factors as featured on KenPom.com, the concept is very simple: There are four main parts of a basketball game that contribute to a team's success. They are:

  • effective field goal percentage, or FG% with a bonus for made three pointers
  • turnover rate, or the % of possessions that end in a turnover
  • offensive rebound rate, or the % of possible offensive rebounds that the team grabbed
  • and free throw rate, or the ratio of free throws attempted to field goals attempted expressed as a percentage
  • We'll look at the numbers for Marquette and their opponent in both categories for each game.
