Message: [QUOTE="OrlandoCuse, post: 189563, member: 115"] We shot like crap...absolute crap. I guess the overall number was 1-29 outside the paint. I don't have stats inside and outside the paint, but I do have stats on our 3-point shooting trends this year. Anyway, long story (and a lot of math) short, I did some calculations to figure out the approximate probability of us shooting 6.7% (1-15) from 3 in a game: Basically, the probability of that occurring was .0087 (0.87%, slightly less than a 1 percent chance of happening; approx -2.38 deviations from the mean on a normal distribution for you fellow stat/math geeks). In gambler's terms, the odds of it happening were 1 in 115. In sport's fan terms, it was a [B]once in every four seasons[/B] performance. Rest easy, Orangenation, it is highly improbable that we shoot that bad again this season. :cool: [/QUOTE]
