Interesting Statistics...

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Decided to put my work day to good use today (put in my 2 weeks last week as I accepted an offer at another company - so why not) and took KenPom data and manipulated it into a spreadsheet..

Basically I took their Pyth Stat per team which is "The “pythagorean winning percentage”. Just a fancy way of computing a team’s expected winning percentage against an average D-I team. Derived from (AdjO^10.25)/(AdjO^10.25+AdjD^10.25)" and after a little research on some statistics boards found a formula to manipulate that stat to find odds of a Team "A" beating a Team "B" for any team in the field of 68.

Here's our break down given our first round match up along with likely potential second round and sweet 16 match up.

*stats listed as our odds to beat the opposing team

Vs. St. Joes. -
63.2797%

Vs. Nova - (taking it with a grain of salt given the way they have played recently)
36.6669%

Vs. Iowa State - (this one really caught my eye)
48.4292%

Number's point to an Elite 8 run being very possible.

Interesting calculator tool to use for filling out a bracket, and making decisions on the tougher first round match ups - if anyone would like a copy of the spreadsheet DM and and I'll distribute it via email.

One thing that boggles my mind is how hard it is to find UConn all time stats. Google "UConn all time scoring list" and you get a bunch of lists from dingbats giving their two cents on who the Huskies' best scorers have been or if you're lucky a list from the Courant that hasn't been updated since Dyson played. I think I have a PDF somewhere on my computer of the all time records but it's a couple years old at this point.

Here's something from uconnhuskies.com, a "historical supplement" as they call it: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools...11-12/misc_non_event/historicalsupplement.pdf (you can find it if you go to UConnhuskies.com, click on men's basketball, scroll down a bit, and you'll find it under Team Links).

So looks like he is tied with Kevin Ollie right now at 619.

Is there anything you can't do?

Haha, can't take credit for that one. Saw it on Twitter some time ago and bookmarked it because, as you said, there's no way to find it through internet search.

It's the thing I have somewhere in the nether of my computer. It'd be great if they update it at the end of this year.
