    Ep 2: Sports Analytics and Balance Sheets

    Sports Analytics is making a bigger push into the limelight of showing its importance to athletic and team performance. I haven't quite figured out the whole +/- stat when my favorite B-ball players are in and out of the game, but I'll get there.

Time for the Balance Sheet to step into the Limelight!
