Possession and Efficiency: Duke 2001 was just more consistent to overcome the surge from Jacksonville 1970 through most of the game. As the table indicates, when teams start the game tied 20-20 we are treating this as 22 possessions already played, 11 by each player on the game, for a slightly below average 0.91 points per trip down the court. Jacksonville plays at a high pace that requires 3 more possessions than a normal game, so instead of starting at possession 44 the game starts at 47, and from the start until their were 19 possessions left, they won 35-29 to average 1.25 points per trip. However, from that point on Jay Williams disrupted the play at point guard to help Duke win possession 18 to 1 by a score of 21-12 to sneak out with a 70-67 win. Note that this was actually 22 possessions for Jacksonville and 21 for Duke because every time there is a foul or a fast break off a steal in the last nine possessions an extra possession is added on that possession, so four extra possessions, and then when a team is winning at the end we do not have them take their last shot, so Duke had one fewer possession.

 With 19 NCAA games to determine our all-time champ and 19 NIT games to determine our small conference champ, we paired one game of each in the Value Add Basketball Game.

Our all-time SWAC champ Texas Southern hammered the all-time MAAC champ Niagra, despite 27 points from the fourth greatest scorer in history Calvin Murphy (33.0 points per game for career).

The all-time ASun champ was put in the NCAA tournament with the 10 power conference champs since they had the best rating of the 21 other conferences. One of the great centers of all-time, one of two starting 7-footers on the team, dominated for a 57-51 lead with just 11.possessions left and Carlos Boozer and Casey Sanders having fouled out guarding Gilmore.

However one of the most popular players in the games all-time great PG Jay Williams led perhaps the greatest comebacks to win 70-67.

Duke had scored only one of seven possessions to trail 57-51. They key stretch then occurred, when they scored on five straight possessions capped bya  3-pointer by Battier to cut it to 61-60, followed by a steal and free throw by Jay Williams for Duke's first tie since 20-20 at 61-61. Williams then had another steal and hit a 3-pointer himself on the break to give Duke their first lead 64-61.

The back-to-back games featured two 1970 teams with all-time great players, with Artis Gilmore averaging the 4th most rebounds per game at almost 23 per game, and Murphy averaging the 4th most points per game at 33.
