Charting Duke vs. West Virginia (NCAA Tournament)
The story of this game was pretty simple: Everyone contributed. From Brian Zoubek's layup to start the game to Jordan Davidson's three-pointer to end it, this was a total team effort, and it was reflected in the plus/minus stats. The starters had the highest total as a group, but they also played far and away the most minutes together. When one or two of them came out of the game, Duke rarely let up, and you can see that in the per-40-minute stats for the top reserves. Coach K didn't use a wide variety of combinations because, thankfully, he didn't have to, but the guys played consistently well together. Here's hoping there's one more game coming just like this one.
Anyway, on to the numbers ...
