Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3098660, member: 7882"] I'll give you a "like" for the statistical legwork. However, the team stats can be a bit misleading since they only reflect an average of overall performance based on total games against given teams over the course of a long season. They may provide some reliable guidance as to performance in a single future game. But that's about it. Additionally, such stats become more meaningful if we compare performances against comparable opponents. Unfortunately, the data does not help us in that respect. More to the point, I would think that the focus should be on how well theses teams have been playing of late. UCLA looks very strong. UConn . . . ? Well, but for the second half of the game against Buffalo . . . I'd say the same. I guess we'll see what happens Friday. [/QUOTE]
