Very interesting... let's hope that we play our best ball with few turn overs.

It's funny how stats can be made to work in any way. Just earlier I was being torn apart for looking at more factors than just 15 seed vs. 14 seed overall win percentages.

But I really like the guards shooting average between 37-58%. Doesn't really narrow much down.
