-- If you'd shown me the Pack's four factors prior to the game, I'd have said we'd won comfortably, even with the bad TO%.

-- Three losses. Three losses in the final minute. Does that strike anyone else as cruel and unusual?

-- For my purposes, I'm going to assume the possessions were split evenly between the two halves. In that case, the Pack turned the ball over 40% of the time in the second half. State managed 15 FGAs and 14 FTAs in the 2nd; Florida, meanwhile, got 25 and 18, respectively.
