Welcome to March Statness.
Round 2 is around the corner and will allow no reprieve to the pixels on your screen.
But for now - let’s crunch some numbers.

Colorado State scored 11 in the opening round JUST LAST YEAR!
Literally a year ago on march 21, 2024.
I need my fellow stat guys to step up.

We’re better than that!
Then we have AI.
This was comforting to see.

But I mean - maybe I’m being too hard Elon’s peasant ass little bot.
Hang on a second.
Let me cook here.
But the best part of this clip is the clock operator changing the shot clock from :24 to :30.
It’s supposed to go to :20 on an offensive rebound and :30 for a defensive rebound.
And you know what?
I kind of don’t blame him.
No way this scenario was on the test.
That’s some post-doctorate level clock guy school shit right there.
Also - would this not also be an over and back?
What’s the rule there???
Calling any post-doctorate clock school guys.
Xavier and Missouri both have 27 NCAA Tournaments with zero Final Four appearances
Yeah - that’s a record.
Tough times make tough people.
Tough people make easy times.
People in easy times play Xavier or Missouri in the NCAA Tournament.
It’s been brutal for these teams.
Xavier’s had three chances knocking on the door in the Elite 8.
Last in 2017 when they their doors blown off by Gonzaga 83-59.
Pretty much the same script for Missouri.
Drake and McNeese get their first tournament wins
Good to see some newbies pop their tourney cherry.
Drake is a funny team.
What else can you say?
They have a secret weapon.
It’s crazy how good those UConn teams were.
But it just seems the writing is on the wall.
There was no holding back during the regular season to save the NOS for the tournament.
This team is what it is.
A damn good team.
But not a great team.
And not a legendary team.
But you know what?
Hard to do for short kings.
Anyway - looks like we have our new Andrew Hurley for 2025.
Couple other goodies from non AI internet kings:
