If the strategy works, this should help them improve their scoring accuracy by the end of today.

They may not end up in the top 8, but a good scouting team in the top 8 will see this change in accuracy, and watch them closely tomorrow morning. There are always a couple of teams that walk in rough, but improve significantly before Saturday, and are a good selection for playoffs.
Exactly why scouting is so important. Our scouting app (STAMP) creates an "Improvement Trend" calculation to find just such teams, even though they are under-rated.
