Optimist: Anything can happen in the Big Dance!
Realist: An upset or two may happen, but in the end most high seeds will advance.
Every year I join friends in filling out those Tournament Bracket challenges, trying to make "intelligent" guesses on who will advance, based on what I know of the team, its players, its coaches, how much I've seen them beyond short SportsCenter clips and much like everyone else...I fail miserably.
This year, I found an old article that broke down all the potential matchups by record and decided to base my decisions on that. Amusingly it felt much like a game of Sudoku, where your previous choices impacted the later ones. I decided to make a change to one of my brackets once I found out that a particular Final Four seed versus seed matchup...had never happened.
I'll let you know how it goes.
