Lots of great statistical insights and points made by Marlow Ferguson Jr.
Here are some I found interesting:
* *4-0 and 3-3 start with a point differential under a point*
* *High octane athleticism – no opponent lead is safe*
* *Dame’s FG% in 1-on-1 situations this season: 79%, #1 in the league*
* *Portland is without equal in crunch time by a long margin*
* *Role players off the bench are making an important difference early in the season*
