The locations. Five Fifth Factor Plots, Michigan s shot locations against the Badgers:
Now delete five of those midrange shots (one of them was the long Zeb Jackson make) because they came from the Kenpom Kids. Hot damn. UW entered this game forcing midrange shots at a top-20 rate and allowing just 52% at the rim. Michigan hit 70% at the rim and got to the rim 23 times.
As I ve said before, the really exciting thing about this team is the sustainability of the things they re good at. They get to the rim against everyone and convert there; they force a ton of horrible shots. They are currently 8th at forcing long twos and eighth at defending them. Wisconsin: 6/12 at the rim, 5/25(!) on farther twos.

Eight teams took to the ice on Saturday looking to advance to the semifinals and a chance to win a medal. After a long day of hockey, the four finalists emerged. There weren’t really any surprises. Russia, Canada, and the Unites States advanced as expected. It was a toss-up between Sweden and Finland with the Finns fighting back to win a hard-fought game.
All four of the games were interesting and close. Three of the four teams that scored first won their games, but no one had a lead of more than two goals prior to the final minutes.
