@approxinfinity I think attempts would be a good way to help visualize this data, put it in context, too.

Took me awhile to make sense of this-- I think this is distribution of points by source (these always add up to 100%, right?)

bskeet

Surprisingly, the stat that seems most corollary with a high-achieving team is FT% ~16% (or above, like Duke this year - holy mackerel!)

It kind of makes sense: Late game situations, teams that can A) draw fouls and B ) make foul shots, will have a better chance of winning.

It seems to be more important than whether the team is generating 33% or 30% of their scoring from 3 (teams get to the FF in that range and don't get to the FF in that range).

Interesting for sure though. generally way closer %s than i thought they'd be.

@rockchalkjayhawk Yeah.. Not much variance. But maybe there's a tipping point on some of these...

I think that 16% FT is def
worth striving for.

My stats may be bogus. I'm using chatgpt to parse some data for me. Now i'm getting different results. Please hold.

If you are using chat GPT your stats are almost certainly bogus

Yeah i don’t have time to do this right now but what i am trying to do now is use it to break down the ratio in wins vs losses. I think this is a good thread to pull.

Its gets us down the road.

Its very possible that the above is all correct and what i am doing now is not since everything above is consistent and the new thing which requires more heavy lifting is not

16% FT rate seems to be a real sweet spot for success for Self teams
