Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5149184, member: 1268"] Hard to quantify the emotional side of the sport, but you do wonder if that 5% extra juice against the 2x defending champion has something to do with it. One way might be to see if Memphis, Dayton, Colorado and Xavier had their season high % against us. Take for instance a 4-9 NDakota team that played Bama last night and shot 41.5% from three. How much did heightened sense for the competition play into that %. Will be interesting to follow this stat because in games where teams haven’t shot lights out, we’ve looked in command. Should track what the end of year number is against where we are now, which will likely give us a better sense of the early luck factor we’ve been up against. [/QUOTE]
