TDAY BEANO DROPPINGS

WITH MOST PLAYOFF BERTHS ALREADY SECURED, IT IS TIME TO TAKE AN EARLY LOOK AT SOME THANKSGIVING STATS.

1. THERE ARE 93 GAMES TO BE PLAYED ON THANKSGIVING INVOLVING EMASS SCHOOLS. THERE ARE 184 SCHOOLS INVOLVED.

NOTE: FOR YOU MATH MAJORS, THE REASON THERE ISN'T 186 SCHOOLS IN MY EMASS TOTAL IS THAT 2 SCHOOLS ARE PLAYING TEAMS FROM CMASS.

2. ONLY 20 OUT OF THE 93 EMASS GAMES INVOLVE TWO TEAMS WITH WINNING RECORDS. THAT'S RIGHT ONLY 21.5% OF THE GAMES HAVE EACH TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD.

3. LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS EVEN CLOSER ONLY 13 OUT OF 93 EMASS GAMES INVOLVE TEAMS WITH WINNING RECORDS THAT ARE FROM THE SAME DIVISION. YUP, ONLY 13.9% OF THE GAMES ARE BETWEEN TEAMS FROM THE SAME DIVISION WITH WINNING RECORDS.

EXAMPLE: (D3) ARLINGTON CATHOLIC (7-3) @ (D1A) ARLINGTON (6-4)

4. THERE ARE 26 GAMES OUT OF 93 (28.0%) WHERE ONE TEAM HAS A WINNING RECORD AND ONE HAS A LOSING RECORD.

5. IN 31 OF THE 93 EMASS GAMES (33%) OPPONENTS ARE PLAYING TEAMS IN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.

EXAMPLE: (D2A) FAIRHAVEN (5-5) @ (D1) DARTMOUTH (10-0)

6. THERE ARE 19 GAMES THAT INVOLVE BOTH TEAMS WITH LOSING RECORDS OR (20.4%) OF THE 93 GAMES. INCLUDING ONE WHERE NEITHER TEAM HAS WON.
