Yes, we are playing faster than usual, but average number of possessions over a season is no way correlated with success. Four of the last eight Final Four teams were ranked #274 or lower in that stat. Effiency is the important stat and it was 110 in our only real game of the season, Arizona, lower than the average for all of last season.
