Alright ya'll. I have something new for you. Any of you who were on the ESPN boards last season may remember that I liked to post stat projections on how the teams we are playing should do. Basically, I take game statistics from games played at the same venue (home/away/neutral), the last 5 games, and the 5 games against most statistically similar defenses. I combine those stats together and from it am able to project what an "average" performance from each player would be. If they do better than the projected box score, they had an above average night. If they don't do as good, they had a below average score.
Take it for what it is worth. I am no sabermatician or basketball coach. I'm just a guy who likes tinkering with numbers.

Did you take into account MU allowing for an opposing player to go off way beyond their statistical norm?
