Good Morning Green!
Welcome back to Basketball’s Four Factors - MSU’s Non-Conference play in the young 2024-25 season. While yes, we’re into December, technically it’s March minus three months, so yeah, still young,
As a refresher, the Four Factors are the “Moneyball” stats starting point for basketball statistics and getting a feel for how a team is doing. The link above has the nitty gritty, though the quick refresher is:
Shooting - measured by effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%)
Turnovers - as a percentage, relative to shots and free throws
Free Throw Rate - those made relative to shots put up
Rebounding - relative to the opponent, for both offense and defense.
