Math says go for 3 to win, not 2 to tie

And yet math failed them in their quest to win.

You are judging a prospective decision retrospectively. Doesn't really work that way. Just because something didn't work

But with Riley fouling out just before regulation maybe Michigan had a better than 50% chance at winning in OT.

Even if they’d only hit two threes all game?

There are two sides to that coin... odds of losing pre OT:

Are you playing to win?

You want more time. That’s what you want.

Didn't mind the shot by the point guard, toed the line and got a good look, now

Both should have been taken to the hole. Wagner was bad all game. He shouldn’t

I know. I still liked his chances going coast to coast with an offensive putback

I don't disagree, but we also saw what happened to the Baylor girl yesterday.

I'm not great with the math, but those numbers seem made up.

This. His "math" is pulled from the ether.

Let's use those numbers (even though we shouldn't)

I think the two are independent events, so you wouldn’t multiply the probability

ray ray

They are independent, which is why you can do this

I still don’t think this math is correct.

Good thing we have real life data

I still don't buy it based on that guy's website. I could be wrong, but doesn't

Another thing to consider is that at end of games refs are inclined to swallow

Except I’ve seen plenty of refs call fouls at the end of games the last few
