Leading at Half 64-14 -- 82%
NU shoots better than opponent 65-21 -- 76%
NU outrebounds opponent 30-11 -- 73%
Opponent shoots worse than 45% 74-29 -- 72%
NU shoots 45% or better 50-21 -- 70% 
Home 64-30 -- 68%
NU 3-pointers more than opponent 57-39 -- 59%
NU turnovers less than opponent 66-49 -- 57%

The really bizzare stat:
Game margin 11-20 points our records is 21-44 while we are 25-25 on a 
5-10 point margin and 14-13 on a margin greater than 20 points.

Unfortunately they don't break it out on 3-point shooting performance.

Without the benefit of any real study, I get the
sense that there is a pretty strong correlation between our three-point
shooting percentage and winning (I'm sure that's true of most teams, 
but
maybe more so with us).
