Message: [QUOTE="kcsu, post: 4995862, member: 528"] Having played at the college level point spread is without a doubt the least important factor once you get past about 6 or 7 points either way. Why? Because of substitutions, because of missed foul shots, garbage buckets, the 3 point shot ect... Anyone who watches a game can see a few obvious things. 1: The better team and by how much. 2: Teams that are evenly matched. For me 7 points is the number to focus on. If a team maintains a margin of 7 points or greater for the MAJORITY of a game that team is the superior team and should get some sort of BONUS credit for the win. Anything under 7 and it's just a win, no bonus. Anything greater than 7 doesn't add to the bonus. This to me is a much better indicator of the superior team than the final score which can easily fluctuate by 10 or more points in the last 2 minutes of a game and really not be indicative of anything meaningful.
