How do you guys like the +74 spread on the Phagans Grants Pass College of Beauty vs. Kentucky game? I saw one of Phagan's players practicing free throws at the local park a few days ago and he nailed a few of them.
@@taufiqutomo Are you saying that it's technically impossible to implement a sufficient number of channels? I'm not talking about actually doing it, I'm only talking about whether it's possible to do so in principle.
I hear that many female athletes nowadays have been using this performance enhancing technique. Its very hard to shoot the ball when your opponent has all that mass on their side, since their oversized stomachs block all of your shots. The commissioner really needs to crack down on this problem before it gets too out of control.
I honestly kinda unironically like this idea? It's completely implausible for sure, but if they set it up so that the earlier games would only last like 10 minutes or something short like that and then as you move down the bracket the games last longer it could be really cool. Plus it'd be hilarious to see some school from nowhere cheese their way to a top spot.
You should rearrange the bracket a bit so the top teams enter at the round of 64 or maybe the round of 128, but still a good idea. Like the FA Cup in English soccer.
You "only" need 12 rounds to have such a tournament so it's completely feasible to do it with full length games. It'd be a logistical nightmare, but since every team has a court they can host a game at, you could theoretically play all 8,191 games over the course of two months.

1 in 2^4095 As a decimal approximation, that's a 1.9x10^-1,233 of a percent chance of having the correct bracket, or about a 2 with 1,233 zeros between it and the decimal point. It's probability is very close to zero. An equivalent way of saying this is there are 2^4095 or about 5x10^1,232 possible outcomes, and one correct bracket.

Believe it or not, the NCAA could do it. A 4,096 team tournament need 12 rounds to find a winner so it could be done if you played a lot of simultaneous games (though not every game could be televised). It'd be a logistical nightmare, but since every team has a court they can host a game at, you could theoretically play all 8,191 games over the course of two months.

Yeah, but like do you actually think they have a chance at the natty? And if so, do you think that actually means they're the best team in the country? Imagine being a player for a team like UConn that has a great season but drops one game to Southwest Central Vermont University and now they can't win the championship.
