Re: New Teams in FIRST's Top Tier...
Thank you for the data, Dr. Joe!
As of this post, videos of MSC playoff matches are not on TBA yet. When they are available, several will be well worth viewing. The finals most especially.
New England teams are well regarded for quality of defense. However, it is in the MSC finals that we see hard D well played, very nearly upsetting an alliance headed by two Hall of Fame teams, against a 23 pt combined OPR deficit. Watch 5150 defend their courtyard against 27 and 67. A last-moment shot by 27 to take down the tower, and outstanding defensive and offensive contributions by 6086 throughout, saved that match for the #2 alliance.
Three teams with above-median numbers -- 5150, 5460, and 6086 -- were major factors in those finals. Look for them to wield similar influence at CMP.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
