Great article. My favorite example of this in recent memory is when a very mediocre 2021 Georgetown team led by James Akinjo won the Big East tournament and saved Patrick Ewing’s job for a few years
Gotta subtract the bottom three Big Ten teams that won't make the B1G tourney this year from that 350.. Thanks for the reminder that Stetson still has a better shot to win it all than my Hawkeyes (most likely) :/
> This essentially creates a 350-ish team single-elimination bracket
I've been telling people this for years. People think I'm weird 🤣
I grew up in Big East territory, back when it was a nine-team (if I remember accurately) conference, and winning the Big East Tournament for men's basketball was a huge deal (to me, at least)!

Thank you Rodgers for sharing the NMTC link, was having the hardest time googling for that. Go North Alabama!
