Statistically Speaking: Record Breaking Season

The 2011-12 MIT Basketball Team has certainly established itself as arguably one of the most prolific MIT squads of all time.  The team's most important accomplishments are undoubtedly the first ever MIT sweep of the NEWMAC regular and post season championships and first ever trip to the NCAA Division III Final Four.  However, this year's team has broken many other marks, both collectively and individually.  We break them down below:
