Inside the Numbers
Game Notes
— The Warriors jumped to No. 24 in the Pairwise after last weekend’s split against Boston College. As long as the Warriors are in the Top 30, it’s worth looking at the Pairwise impact of these games.
Remember, this is NOT an exact science. All I’m doing is isolating this series in a vacuum. There’s 60+ other games this weekend that could impact Merrimack’s Pairwise ranking. However, this is a good way to understand how much impact each individual Merrimack game has on its Pairwise.
Current: #24
Merrimack Sweeps: #19
Home Teams Split: #24
Away Teams Split: #24
UMass Sweeps: #34
