Wow. UConn beating the absolute crap out of SC. Kind of a stunning final two games.

Something that’s kind of astounding. In the ESPN bracket challenge for the women’s tournament, not one but two people missed a perfect bracket by just 1 game. One person got Utah vs Indiana wrong in the first round and another person got Ole Miss vs Baylor wrong in the second round, but otherwise both of them got every single other game correct. That’s just incredible.

Just not as much parity in the women’s game… i think this just proves it.

True. And while the numbers obviously don’t break out exactly like this, if you had an ~80% chance of picking every game correctly the entire way, you’d expect around 1 out of every 2 million people to pick 62 games correctly which is about what we got.

Oh, wait, actually, that’s to get 62 straight games right, not to get 62 out of 63 games right. So the prediction rate is probably even lower than 80%.

Edit - Turns out, I couldn’t just let it sit. You need everyone to have an accuracy rate of about 74% on their predictions to get 62 out of 63 right 1 in 2,000,000 tries or so.

Edit2 - On the men’s side, there are a handful of people (I didn’t count them, but I’m guessing its 10-ish) who’ve only gotten 3 or 4 picks wrong. On the other hand, there are like 5-6x as many predicts for the men and there’s still a game to go, so the accuracy isn’t nearly as good.

Didn’t play for NC State last year due to injury, but put up big stats as a center at Boston University in 2023-24.

10.6 rpg in her last healthy season. Talk about a big get at a position of need. I hope she’s healthy.

Surprised she would want to give it a try given our luck with ā€œhealthā€. Maybe getting paid to watch overcomes all that.

Nickname: Weimar Republic. As in, my stats are subject to hyperinflation! :fire:
