Final Four stats no one is talking about

[MdStang]

So far I can't find any analyst referencing these numbers:

UConn has outscored their four opponents in the tournament by 140 points. The next highest total is Texas with 80, followed by SC with 79 and UCLA with 76.

UConn has double digit wins in all four games, with the closest being 14 points (So. Cal.). Texas and UCLA have 3 double digit wins and SC has 2 double digit wins.

The Huskies had the toughest path to the Final Four with second round games in Spokane and having to beat a #3 seed and a #1 seed to advance to the Final Four.

Useless stats that mean absolutely nothing when the ball is thrown up tomorrow night!

True but still interesting none the less.

Unfair. All stats are useless once the ball is thrown up in the air. The intent of numbers like these is amusement. If you're not amused too bad for you.

Maybe it is not specifically mentioned by many, but it probably is factoring into the betting odds that favor Uconn. Margin of victory and level of competition it was achieved against , are part of the analysis, and as they say in finance regarding stock prices, It's all in the price.

According to the media, we had a cakewalk, because Oklahoma wasn't a "good enough" 3 seed.

The one thing that is unique to me is UConn is the only team that gets better when the put in their subs. When they replace Jana they get better on offense and when KK comes in they get more energy and precision on defense. Other teams have a fall off while UConn is looking to make a run. Like I have said forever, UConn has the best roster in the country and it isn't even close.

Taking all the FUN out of getting hyped.

The first sentence is simply untrue. Next to last sentence also untrue

The last sentence might be true opinion.

Margin of victory in first round games makes up the bulk of those numbers and is meaning. Each team won by 38-69 points. If you focus on regional margin of victory rather than overall (which still favors UCONN), then yes I agree.

I also strongly disagree with that last statement. USC without Juju was a #1 seed in name only. Playing the likes of Duke or LSU would've been a much tougher task.
