#Basketball Power Ratings Through Sunday, March 5#
--------------------------------------------------

Computerized Power Ratings for Pro Basketball were created by
SportsMaster, an enhanced data software developer.  The ratings
are a statistical analysis of the strength of a basketball team.
Compare the ratings for the two teams after adding 3.5 points to
the home team's rating.  The greater the difference the more
likely the higher rated team will win.

The Power Ratings take into account 45 different statistical
categories and rankings.
