Congratulations to Tyler Hansbrough and the Indiana Pacers who hung another unexpected L on the Heat last night. You also gotta love Danny Green and the Spurs. That team, for the first time in like 20 years, is not the most boring in the league. In fact, they’re almost fun to watch, with lots of ball movement and long-range shooting. Here’s hoping those two teams meet in the Finals.
In the meantime, check out this chart of minutes played in the first round by school. Not surprisingly, international players are the most dominant, in part because they’re grouped together in a single category, whereas all the college players get spread out among the different schools. Also a slight surprise, Dook players are getting more burn than UNC players. But just barely.
There are a few more interesting charts here, including playoff minutes broken down by conference. The ACC rules that one.
