Six Attributes To Look For When Picking A Champion in March Madness

 
Last year it was Kansas who cut down the nets at the NCAA Championship. Kansas achieved something that very few achieved throughout the entire nation. Kansas came from a big six conference, they went to the previous' year's tourney, there coach had at least five tourney appearances, they scored 77 points per game, they averaged a victory margin of 10, and they were no lower than a No. 4 seed. Kansas, UNC, Duke, and Tennessee were the only four teams in the tourney field last year to achieve these six attributes. Kansas won it all last year because they — like 15 of the last 17 champs — accomplished all of these attributes. If you want to learn more on how to win your bracket pool, stay posted until December when I will write more on filling out your bracket in a statistical manner.  (link)
