With apologizes to the Band Boston, "it's been such a long time" since we last looked at the assumption that a slow pace of play that is often seen by Doc Sadler coached teams at NU is less successful as a style of play than getting up and down the court is a style more similar to KU or NC under Roy Williams.
I took a snapshot of the 30 teams with the fasted tempo and found that their average ranking is 193 while the 30 slowest teams have a average ranking of 174.
Next I divided all of D1 into thirds. The fast 1/3 have an average ranking of 181. The slowest 1/3 has an average ranking of 172.
Fast tempo does not correlate to wins. Likewise, it's hard to say that you can't successfully recruit if you don't have a up-tempo style of play.
