What every abbreviation on the site actually means.
Score — Composite Score
The main Six Wins rating: how many points better a team is than an average Division I team on a neutral floor. It starts from JPI (converted to points) and adjusts for play style (rebounding, transition defense, empty possessions, turnovers and game control) and shooting luck (hot or cold 3-point and free-throw shooting that tends not to last). Two teams' scores subtract to a predicted neutral-floor margin.
