Anyone wanna do a March Madness simulation on what if sports?

[Travelman6]

Don't forget Uconn will have a healthy Polley and Akok back in time for the AAC tourney.

Sadly no. Injuries are far from healed I am afraid.

 

[Scoe]

Did some research. It actually sidelined him for the last 7 or so games of his junior year (last year). He came back this year, played in a bunch of games then re-aggravated the injury a month ago. Was putting up 6.8/2.3/1ast on 38% fg shooting in about 20mpg.

I can't believe Georgia made the SEC simulated final. LSU I can believe.

I'm also surprised UCLA made your PAC 12 finals, and even more surprised that they won.

May be a stupid question, but how are you simulating? I'm interested.

I’m using what if sports.com and just looking at the brackets of where each conference tournament left off on as a guide.

UCLA is always a bubble team that somehow gets hot by March and makes a run to the sweet 16.

Sadly no. Injuries are far from healed I am afraid.

In my tournament simulation they are healthy what if sports doesn’t factor in injuries.

Ill continue with the MEAC tournament now, thank god I dont have to simulate all conference tournaments as some of them were already played.

You should make a March Madness bracket using BY'ers to see who goes the craziest from self isolation by the end of the month. A panel of judges will run live video interviews of each match up and the rest of us get to vote on who moves on.

Interesting start to this thread.
OP puts into the Title, the phrase, "Anybody wanna do...," and in the post describes the imagined process.

@uchusky goes big right out of the box, ignoring that the title doesn't say, "Anybody else...," after assuming that @Scoe might have put out the call without himself wanting to do the simulation. Then, he goes one further, by speculating that nobody would want to do the simulation. Powerful. But smart?

No

@Scoe interprets the "No" response as interest, and then apologizes for trying to do somethng fun.

Thank you for your interest, sorry if I'm trying to do something fun.

@uchusky32 comes back as though he's just answering a question, ignoring *what* the question was. He even allows for the possibility that someone might say "Yes," but if that were the case, the moment that it happened, it would make his earlier "No" answer instantly incorrect. But than he chides @Scoe for being sensitive upon receiving a direct answer to his question, to the point of laughing in his direction...even though it's increasingly apparent that he's misread or misunderstood the question and likely won't survive even the most generous interpretation of the initial question. All it will take is any one additional person to this to move forward, followed by somebody doing it.

Just answered your question since you asked. Maybe someone else will say yes. Don't ask a question if you don't want a no. So sensitive. Lol

And then @Scoe starts the games.
The question is answered, "Yes," AND within a post or two, the enterprise has some seeming fans.

At this point, in order for @uchusky32 's "No" answer to be legitimate, @Scoe would have to claim that he doesn't really want to be doing the sims. I don't think that's gonna happen.

I wrote this in the time it would have taken to fill out brackets. Carry on.
