A perfect regular season in College Basketball doesn't happen too often, so it's worth noticing. Can the team stay perfect through the 2015 NCAA Tournament? We soon shall see. I'm hoping that they JUST DO IT. Answer these questions about the team's remarkable season.

NORTH AB CD.EFG
AB. Their most common point total, digits reversed.
CD. In late December, their opponents scored the same number of points in two of three games. What's that losing point total, with its digits reversed?
E. Before March Madness, how many of their 2014-15 wins took place in New York State?
FG. How many days after their game in West Long Branch was their game in New Hampshire?

WEST HIJ KL.MNO
HIJ. What was the average total points scored, by both teams combined, in the December 30 and February 7 games?
KL. By how many points did they beat Michigan, at Ann Arbor (!), on December 9?
MN. What's the difference between their margin of victory on December 19 (their biggest win of the season) and their win on February 6?
O. Other than a narrow away win on February 14, their smallest margin of victory was by how many points?

ALT E. The "Presidential Bracket," the President's picks for the Tournament, has the team going to the round when only how many teams remain? (answer is 1, 2, 4, or 8)
