Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse has 11 scholarship players on its men's basketball roster. Three of them are point guards. All of those point guards are injured to varying degrees.
We keep talking about the oddity of it and rhetorically asking, "What are the chances?' Well, after a day's worth of emails to various mathematics/stats people, we found our answer.
It's a very small chance.
So says Jim Albert, a Distinguished University Professor at Bowling Green State University who is renowned for his work on sports statistics. He is especially adept at baseball, but helped out with Syracuse and the Point Guard Issue.
