Post-season experience matters?

By Tangotiger, 10:46 AM

Apparently, it does:

But while a team’s record did not have much of an effect on its odds of winning a postseason series, its advantage in experience did.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
