Stats? You want stats? As long as CBS/TBS determined that we wanted our screens loaded with stats throughout this NCAA Tournament, here are some from Saturday’s Final Four that didn’t make the cut:

0-2: The record of the teams — Oklahoma and Syracuse — that, when introduced before the game, demonstrated the longest, most practiced and flamboyant, check-us-out handshake demos among teammates.

32: Minutes Villanova’s Kris Jenkins played in his team’s record, 44-point blowout of Oklahoma.

3: Number of Villanova players who stayed stuck to the bench during their team’s record, 44-point blowout of Oklahoma.

1: Number of times Syracuse’s scandalized program, resulting in a nine-game suspension for Jim Boeheim, this season, was mentioned. Well, it wasn’t exactly mentioned; it was hinted at, and not by Jim Nantz, but by Bill Raftery, who said Boeheim was suspended “because of NCAA difficulties.”

Those “difficulties” included subjugated results of players’ drug tests and sustaining players’ eligibility by having basketball staff members fulfill their academic assignments — “difficulties” commonly known as fraud.

Yep, the NCAA did this to Boeheim and Syracuse, the school and coach had nothing to do with it.

1: Number of times North Carolina’s scandalized program was mentioned. And again, it wasn’t Nantz, it was Raftery, who, with 40 seconds left in Syracuse-UNC, provided a soft, vague and even sympathetic hint.

Raftery didn’t mention that for 20 years UNC’s basketball teams were funneled into no-show, easy A, bogus African-American studies classes “taught” by a professor who was fully enabled by a UNC professor who taught and lectured on, of all things, ethics. Nor did he mention that such sustained and systemic fraud was totally and allegedly missed by coach Roy Williams and the rest of UNC’s athletic department.

Rather, Raftery said, “With all that has gone on, on that campus, and nationally, the job he [Williams] has done and how they’ve withstood that investigation with people questioning them, and things of that nature; put it aside and just play basketball.”

Poor Coach Williams. People did this to him and his teams — not for them. As if Williams was the victim of fraud, and not the beneficiary!

Still, Raftery at least gave it something of a shot, even if it was misleading, he brought it up.

$11 billion over 14 years: The amount CBS and TBS pay the NCAA for the Tournament.

At those prices you’d think the two networks wouldn’t be so frightened to speak a few tough-to-ignore truths. It’s not as if the NCAA otherwise would refuse to cash the checks.

7: As Boeheim told Tracy Wolfson before the start of the second half, that’s how many free throws Syracuse, down 11 at that point, missed in the first half.

4-of-13, 9-of-11: Syracuse’s FT shooting for the game vs. UNC’s.

0: Number of times TBS’ pregame, full-screen, team-comparison stat graphics included free throws. UNC was 75 percent for the season, SU 68 percent. But only coaches and basketball fans find such data significant.

5: Number of times rapper Kendrick Lamar, in a televised performance between games, was seen grabbing at his crotch.

Let the record show that with MLB endeavoring to speed the pace of games, the first inning of Sunday’s first game of the season stopped dead for 2:30 — and in 39 degrees — for a replay review that upheld the on-field call: Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen was hit by a pitch from the Cards’ Adam Wainwright.

An eight-batter, 0-0 first inning ran 20 minutes, thus we were on our way to a 4-1, 8½-inning game that ran 3:02.

Don’t tell Jimmy Dolan or Carmelo Anthony, but the Hornets, 33-49 last season, are now 44-32.

And much of the credit has been bestowed on 26-minutes-per sub Jeremy Lin for doing what he did during his few weeks with the depleted Knicks, leading them to a string of impossible wins — triggering an all-in, fast-moving, look-inside offense.

Unlike the desultory Dolan/Anthony Knicks, Lin’s Charlotte teammates appreciate his game for making theirs’ better.

“He’s been phenomenal,” guard Kemba Walker told the AP. “He’s a catalyst,” said coach Steve Clifford. “He’s been huge for us,” said forward Nicolas Batum. “He’s outta here,” said the Knicks.

Reader John Mascolo asks why I wasn’t a guest on that Mike and the Mad Dog reunion panel at Dolan’s Radio City Music Hall. A: I don’t work small rooms.

Mascolo also asks why there were so many empty up-front seats. A: Those who purchased those were watching on big-screen TVs in the luxury restaurant.

Actually, Mike Francesa was a very gracious co-host; he waived the loyalty oath for Jews to enter. He’d questioned the loyalty of American Jews in a lengthy spew following the 9/11 attacks. “Let’s Be Honest” denied it, yet, oddly enough, that segment apparently remains the only tape WFAN — and almost immediately — lost.

Craig Stadler has joined SiriusXM’s PGA Tour channel as host of a monthly show titled for his nickname and a Beatles song, “I am the Walrus.”

Stadler wasn’t an outwardly warm fellow when he played on the Tour. In fact, he often appeared as a disdainful grump.

One day, however, he appeared in a PGA image ad, escorting underprivileged kids to the San Diego Zoo. Gee, Stadler does such things? Who knew? Shame on me. Can’t tell a book by its cover, and all that. What a great guy!

But then it came to light that the kids seen in the ad — those poor, disadvantaged kids — belonged to a PGA executive producing the spot.

It doesn’t matter that its “Bottom Line” stat graphics continue to be a joke, ESPN is either the last to know or just doesn’t care.

During the Texas-UConn women’s game, this honey repeatedly was run past us: “Packers sign TE Jared Cook. First time Packers have signed a player in March that [sic] played for another team since 2014.”

Yep, hadn’t before happened for an entire season!

If the goal of those NFL/Marriott commercials is to portray the NFL Network’s Rich Eisen as smug and condescending, bingo!

What Makes Howie Run? From now through the end of the first round of the NHL playoffs — after that, NBC takes over — Howie Rose will daily be flying here, there and everywhere to work both Islanders’ telecasts and Mets’ radio, the Islanders getting first crack on conflicts.

I wrote here, Sunday, that 36-year-old NBA incorrigible Matt Barnes is a Cal man. Wrong. His antisocial skills were enhanced at UCLA.
