Here's a sampling of how the advanced metrics grade out the Big East 1st team selections.
Micah Peavy was definitely a choice. Kam continues to show why he had the most impressive season of the bunch. #mubb

Final update on the most indispensable player on each Big East team this season, as measured by Hoop-Explorer's Adj Net Rating On/Off differential.
Still don't think the national media captured Kam's importance to this #mubb team. Historically unprecedented.

Kam Jones should be the Big East Player of the Year
Kam Jones has put up one of the most impactful seasons in Marquette and Big East history, and is more than deserving of earning post-season hardware.

I grabbed Hoop-Explorer's On/Off Adj Net Ratings for the top player (biggest difference) on each Big East team.
Unlike straight On/Off, garbage time is filtered out and stats are adjusted for opponent quality.

Stevie Mitchell has 5 KenPom MVPs in his career after tonight. 3 have come against Villanova, the team that chose Angelo Brizzi over him. #mubb

Marquette's defense is at its best when it's forcing turnovers and no one has been more impactful at that for #mubb than Chase Ross.

Chase is on the case
Marquette’s violent defense is a Shaka Smart philosophy, but Chase Ross’ IQ and athleticism help put it into practice.

Chase Ross' anticipation and speed to set this trap has my jaw on the floor. Shaka calls it Vegas, because there is a bit of gambling involved, but his IQ and athleticism make him one of the best I've ever seen at #mubb.

Checking back in on the Big East after a full week of action, and goodness gracious it somehow got worse. Over half the conference (6 teams) now 5+ points worse than their preseason projection on KenPom.
Only DePaul and #mubb ar 5+ points better.

While the Big East scavenges to salvage the non-con, #mubb and Butler have combined to put up 6 of the league's best 10 wins, per WAB.
And from yesterday, why wins like these are vital for the conference.
