that's probably my most educated bracket in at least 10 years. -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:10 3
- I was impressed with mine. I printed it to see how close I get -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:12 2
  - I entered mine in the slacker pool, because really it's better than anything I'd come up with on my own. -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:23 1
    - I'm going to do that, too. (This *was* fun.) -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 13, 18:43
That was fun, thanks. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 18:05 6

    - Yeah, Kansas looks good in that stat style -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:13 2
      - according to the accompanying video, over 2/3 of the people picking this way are picking Kansas. - TFox Mar 13, 18:36
      - Yeah, after I answered, I thought, oops, I should have mentioned I have Kansas winning it all. And then I thought, nah, probably don't need to specify - mara Mar 13, 18:14
If I wasn't clear. They don't tell you the teams names. Only rank their offense, defense, three point shooting, experience, and hot streak -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 17:51 2
- Can you link it here? Curious if they account for conferences. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 17:54 1
  - Here ya go -- (link) - Bacon Mar 13, 17:56
I have Kansas winning it all against Michigan State, Southern Miss, and Indiana are the other two in my final 4 -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 17:50
