How did the conference rank in terms of our Floor Impact Counter statistical rankings?
In order to determine our team rankings, we calculate the difference between a team's own FIC per game and their opponents' FIC for the entire conference season.
The FIC is a single statistical measurement that encompasses things such as scoring efficiency, rebounding, blocked shots, etc. Its purpose is to combine the box score into one statistic, both on a team level and for players.
The following players have had a game FIC of 28.1 or better during the 10-11 season, which typically means the player scored a ton of points efficiently, plus had a good floor game in terms of assists, rebounds, blocks and steals.
Unsurprisingly, Jared Sullinger. Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette appear on this list, with the first two having multiple games apiece. Also appearing twice are Thomas Coleman of North Carolina A&T, Charles Jenkins of Hofstra and Chris Singleton of Florida State.
Sullinger has the highest single FIC game, coming against IUPUI when he scored 40 points to go with 13 boards.
During the 09-10 season, Fredette had the highest single FIC game when he scored 49 points at Arizona.
Back in 08-09, Ryan Toolson had the highest single FIC game with 41.9. Blake Griffin had two of the top-six.
