Some Indiana vs Ohio State stats

This is just a data comparision - I'll leave the analysis to the group. I'm mostly using Pomeroy Team Ratings and Big Ten Wonk's tempo-free stats for the comparisons, because I think it's good data.

Sagarin Rank:
Indiana - 9 (SOS = 47)
Ohio State - 8 (SOS = 219)

RPI Rank:
Indiana - 14 (SOS = 26)
Ohio State - 9 (SOS = 121)

Pomeroy Rank:
Indiana - 9 (SOS = 36)
Ohio State - 17 (SOS = 96)

Ohio State's Schedule to Date (with Pomeroy Rank in parantheses):
Ohio St. 81, (285) Chicago St. 52
Ohio St. 79, (59) Butler 69 (OT)
Ohio St. 69, (67) Virginia Tech 56
Ohio St. 81, (60) Saint Joseph's 74
Ohio St. 92, (242) Norfolk St. 59
Ohio St. 85, (186) Belmont 75
Ohio St. 70, (65) Iowa St. 67
Ohio St. 74, (205) Tennessee St. 65
Ohio St. 87, (164) Gardner Webb 58
Ohio St. 78, (23) Louisiana St. 76

All were home games except St. Joseph's and Iowa State, which was played in Iowa (though not on ISU's home court). Of course, OSU plays PSU tonight at home. Indiana will be the second true road game for the Buckeyes.

The team stats are all based on rank within the B10. Again, definitions for these stats can be found at Wonk's site. The important thing is that Wonk controls for number of possessions in a game - it's how many points a team scores per possession that matters, not how many points they average per game (because that's not an apples to apples comparison).

Possessions Per Game:
2. Indiana (70.8)
6. Ohio State (68.5)

Points Per Possession:

Effective FG %:
1. Indiana (.630)
