[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 254922, member: 844"] this begs the question that has intrigued me for awhile...are games independent or dependent events? In other words, if you are paying a relatively equivalent team in game 6, is the probability of beating a team like Pitt, Unc or Uva the same given that the team is either 0-5,3-3 or 5-0 going into the game? To be independent, the probability of a win has to remain unchanged regardless of the events prior (i.e. the "givens"). I'd like to hear what others have to say. the reason I ask is that I think we can win the rest of our games (given that we have lost to 3 teams who are 14-3 as you say). but will a few more losses take its toll such that we do not maximize our full potential? In other words, does discouragement set in such that it does affect results going forward? (This would make games dependent events for in case there are people who are not nerds reading and/or lurking here on the Tech board) I am interested in hearing the thoughts of others. i'll just hang up and listen.
