Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5244351, member: 1969"] Went and checked the intra-conference numbers. There is a link on basketball reference. I was actually surprised to see they were even in intra-conference matches in 21/22 and East was actually better in 22/23. They took a pretty sizable fall in 2024 and now a bigger one in 2025. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/east_vs_west.html[/URL] So the East beat the West in the regular season in 1999. Between 2000 and 2021 (a 22 year period), the East was only better once in 2009. In 2021/2022, they were .501. In 2022/2023, they hit .509, their best winning % since 1998. This year they are all the way down to .453. This would be the second worst record since 1971 (2014 was worst at .452) [/QUOTE]
