Basically, the idea is that a random assortment of missed calls will tend to help the underdog over the course of a season. It gets to the idea that inconsistency is a bad quality for a favorite, and that is what bad (random) officiating creates. Oliver also mentions that it doesn&#8217;t take much biased officiating to offset this effect. Something like one biased incorrect call out of 100 in favor of the dominant team would offset the randomness effect.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Friday<\/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>\nIbrahim Jaaber         35  9-11  2-2  1-1  1-5   4 2 5  2  1   21\n<b>Result: Win.<\/b> Penn 70, Dartmouth 51.<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Saturday<\/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>\nKyle Anslinger         36  9-12  9-10 2-2  0-2   1 3 0  1  0   29\n<b>Result: Win.<\/b> Evansville 69, Drake 68.<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Sunday<\/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>\nBryant Dunston         50  5-9   1-2 12-17 3-14  1 4 0  3  8   23\n<b>Result: Win.<\/b> Fordham 79, Rhode Island 76.
