First, I pupu lled up both teams' records for the season. I wanted to see their overall wins and losses, and how they've been doing lately. You know, are they on a hot streak, or have they been struggling?
Then, I checked out some head-to-head stats. Have these teams played each other before? If so, who came out on top? Past performance isn't everything, but it can give you a little hint of what to expect.
I also looked at how each team performs at home versus away. Some teams are just beasts on their home turf, while others play better on the road. I needed to factor that in.
- Indiana State Record: Check!
- SMU Record: Check!
- Head-to-Head: Check!
- Home vs. Away: Check!
Next, I dug into some deeper stats. Like, points scored per game, points allowed, shooting percentages... that kind of stuff. The numbers can tell you a lot about a team's strengths and weaknesses.
For example, one of the teams might get a lot of players get injured. Another factor, that the audience will be large and loud.
After all that,I finally formed an opinion and who will win this game!
