Opis

The NCAA tournament is not designed to reward the most deserving team with a championship. Using grammar school mathematics and a dash of ingenious reasoning, Mike Nemeth exposes the need for a new set of statistical measures to explain the outcomes of basketball games. The new statistics reveal the relative strength of each team entering the NCAA Tournament so that fans can make informed picks in their tournament brackets. However, Nemeth goes on to explain how the tournament format induces chaos and produces a random survivor before he reveals ten rules that help those betting cope with the chaos and improve their odds of filling a bracket that will win the office pool.
