Greg Davis Review: A Programming Note
Before we dive into the 1998 season numbers, a few relevant notes on my research thus far: Unfortunately, play-by-play data is only partial for the 1998 season, as both the Kansas State and Mississippi State box scores are incomplete at MB-TF. That cripples any effort to chart Davis as...
