This hasn&#8217;t been done before in the limited data I have. Three straight one-point wins has only been done once since the &#8216;99 season &#8211; two years ago by High Point. If you have followed this streak, you have seen some examples of how luck is a large factor in determining the outcome of close games. As a further demonstration, I pulled every occurrence of a team playing two consecutive one-point games in the last eight seasons. Here were the results:<\/p>\n<pre><b>Record   Times<\/b>\n 2-0       43\n 1-1       84\n 0-2       33<\/pre>\n<p>This works out almost the way a coin flip situation should. You&#8217;d expect 25% in each of the first and last bins and 50% in the middle one. Take 3 each from the 2-0 and 1-1 and put them in the 0-2 and that&#8217;s exactly what you would have. I don&#8217;t know what this proves, as the outcome of one-point games is not totally determined by luck &#8211; you&#8217;d expect talent to have some impact. It would be more instructive to look at cases where there is a big talent gap and see how the favorite fared in these games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Line o&#8217; the Night<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<pre>                           <b>FG    3pt  FT   Reb\n                      Min  M-A   M-A  M-A  O-T   A F S TO BLK Pts<\/b>\nPaul Millsap           35  8-13  0-0  4-5  7-18  2 3 1  2  0   20\n<b>Result: Win.<\/b> Louisiana Tech 74, Idaho 49.        <\/pre>\n<p>Lost in the hysteria over the scoring title is that Millsap is in a tough battle for his third consecutive rebounding crown with Hartford&#8217;s Kenny Adeleke.
