I tend to view sports through a statistical lens. Most fans at least have a base knowledge of the new numbers and what they mean to the point that I don’t have to further explain why I’m not trying to ruin the enjoyment of watching sports, but I just wanted to give you an idea of where I’m coming from. In a zero sum game like basketball, every factor contributes a net gain or loss to success and I attempt as best as I can to parse what those gains are and why they happen.
I also officially became a fan of Marquette in the middle of the 2012-2013 season, when I decided to attend the university.
