More details:
There are 362 Division 1 basketball teams. As of 1:00 pm EDT on Sunday, March 10, Penn has the same ranking in both Ken Pomeroy and in the NCAA Net rankings, 212 of 362.
The NCAA breaks down wins as to Quad 1, 2,3 or 4 based on the quality of the opponent and the location of the game (home, road or neutral). Penn won 11 games. Two of those eleven wins were against teams that are not at the Division 1 level. Of Penn’s 9 Division 1 wins, there was one Quad 2 win (a home win against a team ranked between 31 and 75), in Penn’s case a home win against #32 Villanova. Penn had one Quad 3 win (a road win against a team ranked between 135 and 240), in Penn’s case an overtime road win against #218 Rider. All of Penn’s seven remaining Division 1 wins were against teams in Quad 4, at the bottom of the NCAA rankings.
Additionally, Penn had two Quad 4 losses, at home to #204 Harvard and on the road to #351 Maryland Eastern Shore.
Returning to the Pomeroy rankings and Penn’s defense. Of the 362 Division 1 teams, Penn’s defensive efficiency was #321. Penn’s two point shooting percentage defense was #324. Penn’s three point shooting percentage defense was # 319. The combination of those two numbers is known as one’s effective field goal percentage defense. Penn’s ranking was #335.
On what percentage of possessions did Penn’s defense force a turnover? Ken Pomeroy breaks down turnovers into steals and non-steal turnovers (shot clock violations, walking, stepping out of bounds, 3 second or 5 second violations, etc. . .). Penn’s steal percentage was ranked #278. Penn’s non-steal defensive turnover percentage was ranked #357. Penn’s overall ranking for forcing turnovers was #338.
The average Division 1 team allows the opponent to attempt a three point field goal on 37.3% of the opponent’s total field goal attempts. Penn allowed a three point field goal attempt on 43.7% of its opponent’s total field goal attempts. Penn’s national ranking in this category was #345.
