Method

Read against .

  • The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut in two where one date leaves the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
  • Who played is read from the schools’ box scores’ participation lists for 7 of these 8 games; in the other game a player is counted as in it when the box score has a stat for him.
  • 17 games in 2024 and 2025 are neither with Davian Jackson nor without Davian Jackson: Davian Jackson had no game for the team those seasons, and sit out.
