stevenash Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 [quote name="WOSgrad" post="1159903" timestamp="1326559545"]Sure are a whole lot of coincidental "statistical flukes" coming out of this game.[/quote]"Whole lot" of statistical flukes? I named two. You infer more. Can you tell me the others of the "whole lot" that I claimed? You tell me what is the statistical likelihood of a 35-40 foot shot attempted from an unconventional shooting position going through the net. If a team has a free throw average over 27 games of between 60% and 70%, you tell me why 35% is not abnormal. If those stats are repeated in the next HJ-Silsbee game, then my theory will be full of holes. If not, then that honor will fall to you. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

AggiesAreWe Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 I am wondering if "some" are suggesting that Silsbee's win was a "fluke". ;) ::)

There is, and never was, any claim by me that the Silsbee victory was anything but legitimate. My claim is that everybody makes way too much about the "tougher schedule" theory. Silsbee wins this game regardless of who they played and HJ loses it regardless of who they played. That is my contention and there is nothing I said that suggests anything else.

Lazeek Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Schedule had nothing to do with it. Had HJ got blown out then you can say something about the schedule.HJ came from 18 down to tie, that takes heart and guts to come back. They could not get over the hill, and a great shot from 35 feet sealed the deal. HJ lost on FT's!!!!!I can assure you that HJ will never shoot 35% from the FT line again.The better team beat themselves last night!!!!The better team lost the game at the line!!!No other reason!!!

I believe that Silsbee's schedule helped prepare them for these type games.

If your concern about the "A game" comments is on other boards, I figured you would voice your concern to them rather than to me. If a team fails to play its A game, most of the credit for that goes to the opposition.

SHSTIGER Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 All the credit should go to Silsbee's coaching staff. They led a smaller,less athletic, less talented Tiger squad to victory over the greatest Hawk team ever. Err, well at least since '91.
