A Few Observations (by greyCat)
Though I have 1) never been a big fan of +/- ratings and 2) completely understand the pitfalls of trying to draw broad conclusions from single sets of details, seeing Scottie with a +15 brought a smile. Yes, he was in for 95% of the game, so he would have to draw a + score...but +15 nevertheless brought a chuckle as I thought about the defensive liability tags he has drawn over the years. This was a good game for him.
1. Take Landon Milbourne off the floor and Maryland has no presence under the boards. I don't know it this has been true in the other 7 games Maryland has played, but it is something for an ACC-focused stats geek to check. Could be very useful when drawing up a game plan for the Terps.
2. Lane penetration was working for the Wildcats -- note the 58% conversion rate (14-24), but the dead zone was...dead. The 'Cats went 0-11 on jumpers -- an area where they tended to be effective last season. This is Taylor King, Corey Stokes and Antonio Pena territory. Misses were "credited" to (mostly) King and Corey Fisher.
3. I am shocked to see that at 16.8 seconds per possession, Villanova was the more deliberate team.

Many thanks to CO_HOYA for the box.
