Did you miss the latest stats class? Let ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi fill you in on what's behind those daily box scores in his Box Score Banter.
Feb. 18: Unlocking the NCAA field
January was too early to call some teams a "lock" to make the NCAA Tournament. But as Selection Sunday approaches, ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi has now put a few teams in his "Lock Box."
Feb. 12: Revising 'The January 20'
In an effort to find the true national championship contenders, ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi crunches some new statistics concerning the country's top 20 teams.
Jan. 29: Working overtime
There is a good chance you'll get more than your money's worth at games lately.
Jan. 17: Some 'Sweet 16s' sweeter than others
The pressure is too great. I'm finally giving in. So many readers were anxious for the first ESPN.com bracket projections that we have to hold them off with at least an appetizer.
Jan. 12: Filtering out early frauds from favorites
The numbers don't lie when it comes to determining the true top 20 teams in the country.
Jan. 4: Just keep the BCS off the court
Thankfully, college basketball doesn't live by the BCS rules.
Dec. 27: Always better to get more for less
Is it better to score a ton of points while taking a disproportionate number of your team's shots? Or is it more valuable to be an efficient, high percentage player?
Dec. 17: At this point, it's all about expectations
While it may be true that my three favorite letters are R-P-I, trust me when I say it is way too soon to think about March.
Dec. 12: They don't make 'em like the Palestra
My season was officially underway when I sat down to watch Penn play in The Palestra.
Dec. 5: Too much, too soon for Tar Heels?
Teams that dramatically out-perform their NCAA seeding, then return the same nucleus the following season, are almost inevitably going to fall
short of their new expectations.
Nov. 28: Numbers don't always tell the story
As you will see in this column, numbers -- however obvious -- are not always what they seem (just ask the Democrats).
Nov. 20: Going beyond the box scores
Just as people such as Bill James and ESPN.com's Rob Neyer have brought an entirely different perspective to baseball analysis, we hope to do the same here for America's second-best indoor sport. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
