Why do the statheads put so much emphasis on numbers in basketball? Because there are very clear lines between certain numbers and winning. Cracked Sidewalks breaks down some of those relationships today:

Can we see the Efg% of the Pac 12 teams prior to the tournament starting?

Oregon was 25th, USC was 60th,
UCLA was 79th and Oregon State was 222nd.  Those are on offense

Oregon was 47th, USC was 7th, UCLA was 183rd and Oregon State was 120th


Of course, the crux of the article was team winning the efg%, win 85% of the time

"Well, we're all going to die."

This is why I don't like using Efg% to compare two teams that aren't from the same conference.  It can be misleading, doesn't account for having a clutch shotmaker/shot creator on the floor, doesn't adjust accurately for a team trending upward or downward, fails to take size advantages/disadvantages into consideration, etc. 

It missed the boat on the PAC 12 in the tourney this year, big time.  It's relied on too heavily.

This makes no sense.

That's not what the article says at all

The UCLA win over Alabama must have been an outlier. The only factor that UCLA won was TO.

Definitely was. Alabama (11/25) had the worst FT% by a tourney team since the 2003 National Championship (minimum 25 attempts) when Kansas went 12/30 in losing to Syracuse.
