[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1559693, member: 3372"] Stat of the game (visual form to follow later) is pretty simple, IMO: Illinois: 12 TOs, 11 ORs -> -1 useful possession Baylor: 7 TOs, 16 ORs -> +9 useful possessions In net, that means Baylor put up 10 more shots than us -- tough to win in that scenario (we used that formula to our advantage a lot last year). Also interesting: KenPom once showed that the biggest predictor of the ultimate winner in a game tied (or close) at halftime is which team shot [I]worse [/I]in the first half. IIRC that held up last night, we were shooting better at halftime. [/QUOTE]
