CLIMBING OUT: Being seven games out with eight to play probably leaves Fayetteville a long shot to earn the final spot in the D-League postseason, but eight wins in the last 10 games leaves the Patriots a realistic shot to climb out of the league cellar and move past Tulsa for the seventh spot.
CONTRAST AND COMPARE: In their last 10 games Fayetteville has won eight
while Austin has lost eight of its last 10. Below is a stats comparison
between those teams over those 10 games, including three against each other
(Patriots won two of those).
