2023 March Madness - Wait, there's another game today?!

I can breathe a little.  I was pretty upset most of that game.  If SDSU had lost, I would’ve been complaining about 4-5 missed layups and dunks.  Luckily for me, I didn’t have to.  I’m elated about SDSU.  This team is clearly going to go down in SDSU history.  They may already have started erecting a statue to Brian Dutcher outside of Viejas Arena.

By the way, Kenny Smith talking about the stopwatch was one of the dumbest, most incoherent arguments I’ve heard this tournament – and he just kept doubling down on it.

I’m going to limit the matrix to just the people that are still alive in the pool.  We are down to 19 people.  2 people have managed to creep above 50% in total chances of winning something.

Here’s the truncated matrix:

Name	1st Place	2nd Place	3rd Place	4th Place
Charlotte N. - Connecticut	21.8750%	14.5833%	14.5833%	5.2083%
Hack a Zach (Dave F.) - Purdue	28.1250%	11.4583%	5.2083%	11.4583%
Chun W. #3 - Texas	12.5000%	3.1250%	12.5000%	11.4583%
Noah N. - Alabama	Creighton	3.1250%	12.5000%	11.4583%
Rob I. #1 - San Diego State	25.0000%	Gonzaga	Princeton	2.0833%
CAAT #4 (Adam O.) - Connecticut	6.2500%	6.2500%	12.5000%	Creighton
Harrell R. #2 - Connecticut	UCLA	3.1250%	9.3750%	12.5000%
