I didn't watch Maryland's basketball game vs. St. Francis, but it's pretty obvious how dominant the Terps were

Maryland sure seems like it was a finely tuned machine on Friday night. You tell me how accurate that is.

Between just us, here's a little secret: I didn't watch a second of Maryland's basketball game against St. Francis (Pa.?) on Friday night. I had a big exam on Saturday morning and, thus, watched Netflix and went to sleep early.

But what's cool about advanced statistics in basketball is they can paint - I think - a pretty reliable picture of how a game went. Specifically, the "four factors" that key team efficiency: effective field goal percentage (eFG%), turnover percentage (TOV%), offensive rebounding percentage (ORB%) and free throw attempts per field goal attempt (FT/FGA).
