Duke got 29.5% of its point in conference games from 3's (6th of 12), while UNC got only 18.9% of its points from 3's (11th) and 61.0% of its points from 2's (1st). I am assuming that UNC's distribution of effective shooting percentages was much tighter than Duke's, particularly since the eFG% gives a 50% premium to the 3-point variety.
Ask and ye shall receive.
Duke's standard deviation for offensive efficiency was 13.5, with performances ranging from a low of 88.2 to a high of 127.6. 7 performances were between 100 and 120, with 5 below and 4 above. Our eFG standard deviation was 6.1% - we were never lower than 40, and only once higher than 60.
Carolina was actually less consistent, in part because of a higher high (139.5) and a lower low (77.4). They did end up with 8 performances between 100 and 120 (including 5 of the last 6), with 6 below and 2 above. Their eFG also varied more - a standard deviation of 9% with 4 games below 40 and 2 above 60.
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
