great stuff!!

"..And UConn may have an ace up its sleeve in the form of senior Napheesa Collier. The 6-foot-1 forward was inexplicably left off the list of four finalists for the 2019 Naismith Player of the Year Award..."

True dat ...

This is an awesome graphic:

It shows, unsurprisingly, 2015-2016 to be the better team almost uniformly across the board but not by a whole heck of a lot. But that thin margin is the difference between a good and a great team. Opponents turnovers and blocks seem to be the big differential. Makes sense. Those potentially are creating easy transition baskets.

Great information.

No argument but I'd suggest the thin margin is the difference between a great team and an utterly dominant team

I think the difference is a lot more significant than a simple “survey” of the listed factors might indicate. Look at the first two stats — net avg MOV: 40 pts vs. 28 pts. 12 pts per game is a lot.
