    Shooting and Winning

    Did you guys know that if you score more points than the other team, you win 99.999999999% of the time?

    Seems insignificant, but it's actually quite critical to the game.

    The other .0000000000001% is if you're UNC and you played the ineligible Greg Little during some of your games, but it somehow didn't count as a loss.

    ...As Stephen Wright once said:

    "You use statistics like a drunk uses a light post...for support rather than illumination."

    Of course teams that hit 50% of their shots will likely win, there has to be a more telling stat than that, or at least one that is more of a stretch. At what point when doing this kind of numbers crunching do you realize your whole study is a 'duh-huh' and do you stop and decide to go in another direction?

    Sure makes the pre-game pep talk easier..


    "Ok, guys, let's be sure to make 1/2 our shots and win this thing!"
