Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2118072, member: 3535"] I apologize to the poster that started a thread a while ago identifying fivethrityeight's odds for teams in Tourney. I couldn't find the thread so I had to create this. Sorry to the person that previously created thread that I am starting this instead. Anyhow, I recall the prediction from fivethirtyeight in the UCONN- UCLA game was 80-66. Wow. In the latest odds by fivethirtyeight-- UCONN has 51% chance to get to finals despite having a 99% to get to Final Four while Baylor has 48% chance to get to finals. Yet Baylor is playing Miss State in which they have 89% chance to win. Looks like Baylor is predicted right there with UCONN as a pick 'em if not having slightly better odds to beat UCONN head-to-head. **As I said to start really wrong that Baylor wasn't the 3seed. Jones is better than Coates. And below the 1st link - there's a second link explaining why early on it dropped. - Baylor. Other observation: Very surprised ND has 75% chance to beat Stanford. Thought it would be tighter.
