Nice to see some statistics correlating with wins and losses. Impressive numbers by X.

From this article............
"Dayton was an interesting club to study. In 2009-10, the Flyers had the fourth best EM in the A-10 and finished 8-8. In 2008-09, UD's efficiency margin was +2 but they were 11-5.

Why?

Well, this past season UD was on the short end of seven tight ballgames decided by five or less points."

I love it when Dayton loses, but it's better when its by five points or less.

There's a case to be made that the best teams are balanced on both sides (OE > 100, DE < 100), but at the same time, it's hard to have a large efficiency margin without that being the case.
