LSU's loss last night continued a season-long trend of not giving Last-Tear Poa enough playing time. She was +7 in the their 7 pt loss &, on the season, the team is almost 20 pts better per 100 pos when she plays versus when she sits. The defensive tradeoff is huge and it showed.

The Paige v Caitlin debate won't be settled tonight no matter who advances. But it sure will be fun to argue about it! Both dominate the per 100 stats(these are pretourney) but Clark is likely more important to her team as Muhl's on-court presence is even starker than Paige's!

Saniya Rivers is two wins away from doubling her ring collection and adding a second national title to her three-year college resume. But first? She has to beat her former team, South Carolina. ✍️ @sabreenajm | NC State WBB 🐺🏀 theathletic.com/5393166/2024/0…

Tessa Johnson(19/4/1/+17) led the Gamecocks today as they finished their season undefeated and brought home Dawn Staley's 3rd title. South Carolina's bench poured in 37 & they rode another dominating rebounding performance! #NCAAChampionship #NCAAWBB

What can the on/off data tell us about today's #Purdue v #UConn showdown? Purdue can look to maximize the time that Clingan sits/Johnson plays & UConn can take advantage of the drop off between Purdue's starters and bench! #NCAABasketball #MarchMadness2024 #NationalChampionship

Mark Mitchell didn’t maintain the 3pt flashes he showed as a frosh, but he was extremely efficient in the paint & a very impactful defender. Per Pivot Analysis: ▪️He shot 79% at the rim ▪️Duke opponents shot 3+% better with him off the floor. 📝 247sports.com/article/robbie…

I know Ace Bailey is good but most 60 year olds can't cut it in the league... Great job google

In each of the last 3 years, Caitlin Clark has finished the year with the best Offensive RAPM. Her mark this year is a full standard deviation higher than 2nd place! This is how she compares to other top projected picks. #WNBADraft #WNBATwitter

Bleacher Report apparently thinks that the Chicago Sky are Scottish themed. 🤣😂🤣

The 2024 #WNBA Draft was the most-viewed WNBA Draft in league history. It averaged 2.446 MILLION viewers, up 307% over last year. WOW.

Couple interesting statistical notes on Jeremy Roach: ▪️3pt & FT % improved each year; was 43/84 this year & 98th percentile in spot-ups; ▪️Duke was 12pts per 100 possessions better defensively when he was on the floor Pivot Analysis. Scouting report: 247sports.com/player/jeremy-…

I just realized that there is a non zero chance that the Fever could add Paige in next year's draft.

Full Stojakovic scouting report: 247sports.com/player/andrej-… Physical maturation is a big key to having the breakout sophomore year he’s capable of. ▪️Shot just 39% at the rim last year per Pivot Analysis ▪️Rated in just 10th percentile overall defensively per Synergy Basketball
