Message: [QUOTE="Jim, post: 5263614, member: 1492"] This is where I think averages can be misleading. I agree that in games against most of the Big East teams, the team's average score and MOV will be about the same. Data from years in which Paige was injured seems to back that up. At the same time, the only year the team did not make the Final Four was also the year Paige was injured. Paige made the biggest difference in the games that mattered most. That is not so easily replaced. Will the returning players (with an extra year of experience) and newcomers step up to fill the void? Perhaps. As they say, that is why they play the games. [/QUOTE]
