NCAA Pool: The biggest loser
Anyone can pick the tournament winner. But the biggest loser?
It’s not the runner up. The runner up will have beaten many fine teams along the way. And it’s not going to be Portland State, most likely. The 16th seed will lose to a #1, who will win a few more games, maybe go all the way. No shame in that. Losing to the champ, or the runner up, or a sweet sixteen – no embarassment there.
No, the biggest loser will lose to a team, who immediately loses to another team, who loses to another team…
If every game is won by a higher seed, and North Carolina beats Memphis in the final, then the biggest loser will have been… #11 in the western region, Baylor, who will have lost to #6 Purdue, who will have lost to #3 Xavier, who will have lost to #2 Duke, who will have lost to #1 UCLA, who will have lost to South champ Memphis, who will have lost to tournament winner North Carolina.
So, do you want to try your hand at picking the biggest loser? (I’m sticking with Baylor)
(by the way, this is men’s since I just watch. This year I’ll be rooting for UCONN in the women’s tournament.)

Haha, leave it to the math dork. :) I guess I can’t pick my Alma Mater (UTA) since they are set to lose to Memphis this Friday night. Memphis is bound to beat someone else along the way. Pity.
I just looked at my March Mathness bracket and it looks like my best odds from that are to go with Villanova over in the Midwest.
I think you should get one chance to re-pick. Didn’t see ‘Nova in the first round upset, did you?
