Sure. If you want to look at an N of 1 to build your case even though it isn't statistically relevant, have at it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I know the guy who jumped into this discussion with his “only in-conference matters” after nine (9) games isn’t talking about sample size. 9 games is 50% of the total possible sample size for a regular season. With a total sample size of 18, your N of 1 results in a 98% margin of error for a 95% confidence level. My N of 9 drops it to a 23.8% margin of error. Feel free to continue to build your case, though, with weak correlations and a 98% margin of error. I'm sure the educated members of Explorer Town will give that level of statistical rigor the consideration it deserves. |

Only a 23.8% margin of error sounds like it would be really, really good, right?

Only a 23.8% margin of error sounds like it would be really, really good, right? i'd take those betting odds over 98%. It is all relative. In computing your margin of error When trying to make your argument seem stellar Remember that lower is always better |

We're doing statistical analysis haikus now. Wheels are officially off.

But basketball Jesus could come down and say that what I say makes sense and you’d still come up with another reason to continue this fight. I think Jesus was more of a Cross Country kind of guy nope, he's a bowler.  |

So, I figured out the compromise so you guys can stop arguing. They should take the same number of 3's, but make more of them.

 Correlation does not imply causation. |

Coming into the game on Saturday, La Salle was averaging 21 3-point attempts per game in their five conference wins (26.5 in their eleven losses).
Guess how many were taken on Saturday - 21 - right on average for the wins.

Guess how many were taken on Saturday - 21 - right on average for the wins. Think a major reason for more 3s in loses is a team attempting to rapidly score in vain attempt to pull ahead. And...if your not a LaSalle opponent...they are rushed and more likely missed... |

The starter went 5 and 1/3. I have once again proven my point." |

Sixers set franchise record for threes made (24 for 43) and end 3-game losing streak with win at Toronto.

nope, he's a bowler. one of the funniest movies of all time, man. This is funny. My son and I were sitting at an In-N-Out Burger in LA a few minutes ago and we were actually talking about the best Coen Brothers movie. He said Fargo (my #2) and I said The Big Lebowski. I love that movie. John Goodman (Walter Sobchak) stole the show. |
