What has been the worst bet in the NCAA tourney (and maybe all of sports) over the past few decades? And what game theory-oriented bracket pool strategy should be on your radar? Both in my latest mediocre whiteboard video, sponsored by absolutely nobody.

A pair of ACC entrants did everything they could to give away their games down the stretch. Starting with 10 minutes left: USF 32 Louisville 15 Cards barely hold on to win. VCU 33 UNC 14 Heels lose in OT. A combined 65-29 in crunch time. Yikes!!!

Kennesaw & UGA in the same window is a little weird. Texas & Texas A&M at the same time is bizarre.

While Sean Miller is not known for being straightforward in interviews with NCAA investigators, he is very direct when asked about BYU’s potential #1 NBA draft pick AJ Dybsanta.

USF/Louisville was an end-game side AND total tour de force.

Nice for all the Louisville, South Florida, and local Buffalo folks to show up to watch the refs.

Big budget SMU being winless in the tourney since 1988 is crazy, but Nebraska NEVER winning won was insane. Congrats to the Huskers for getting the monkey off their back. 24-6 and 16-3 runs led Nebraska to a 76-47 blowout over Troy in a game that stayed well under the total.

@ExtraHalfPoint You are so dumb. SEC has only won 5 times and the Big 12 4 times. ACC 36 times. That logic just say take an ACC team, right ? Then you will be one of 1,000,000 people to do that.

St. Mary's is an excellent 3-point shooting team but A&M was #1 in 3-point D in SEC play, holding teams to 30.8%.    But Gaels are #15 in offense rebounding % while A&M is #284 on the defensive boards. Obviously different levels of athletes in SEC & WCC but worth watching.

Practice Your Free Throw D!!!  I love the all important free throw D.  My 2nd favorite luck-based stat behind only dropped INTs in football. Best in the tourney:  Penn 67.0% Worst in the tourney: UVA 75.8%

St. Louis was #1 in BOTH 2-point % AND 3-point % on BOTH offense AND defense in the Atlantic 10.  Impressive stuff.

As High Point may have wasted strengths, McNeese St is the #1 turnover forcing team (24.6%) and #1 in steals (15.3%), but Vandy's offense values possessions, only turning it over on 13.3% of possessions and permitting steals 7.2% of the time, which is 11th and 9th (out of 365).

I appreciate all the situational analysis I've seen this week but don't ignore styles of play. High Point is a good team but Wisconsin may not be the best matchup for them. HPU's D is #2 (out of 365) in steals, but UW is very careful with the ball, #1 in avoiding steals by opponents.  Like UW, HPU's offense values possessions (#6 in avoiding turnovers) but that's not Wisconsin's game (#323 in D TO rate). So two edges HPU typically has aren't likely to be in play.

I have CONSUMED DOZENS of hours of Content this week. This 3:57 is BETTER than ANY OTHER VIDEOS out there. LOVE the key point of the Geographically biased Pools. @ExtraHalfPoint is a must follow. Do NOT bet needle in the haystack bets. ALL the content providers are lying to you, telling you to make Needle in the Haystack bets that you can "earn" off of.

@Marc77Mack “Technically in the ACC” LOL. Their membership was more than a technicality. That Final 4 was here in Atlanta. DC media impresario Gary @BraunFilm was kind enough to invite me to a DC-centric dinner where I was excited to meet George Michael (not the Wham one) Fun weekend.

@ExtraHalfPoint Maryland won in 2002. Are they not included because they were technically in the ACC at that time? Just trying to figure if these were all historic BIG10 teams you’re comparing.

How is Miami only 10-25 outside the arc. Seemed like 16ish-25.
