Playoffs 3 of the next 5 years is “very possible”? Really? If we make the playoffs once in the next five years I’d be more than satisfied. If “very possible” means like a 1% chance I agree with you.

1% is being extremely generous. I think we are a 1 to 25 for making the post season each yr. doing that 3 out of 5 years is...where are my statisticians?

I sadly didn’t learn anything in that class - with the whole allowed to bring in a cheat sheet into exams and all

Cumulative iteration probability tree anyone?
The math is simple as a dog track. Now only if I could find my little piece of paper covered with tiny formulas.

He was a [ Finebaum ]ty professor. That red cardigan got a lot of mileage.

Well, a 1 in 25 chance equals a 4 percent chance for each of the next five years. So 4 x 5 = 20. But, he said only 3 of the next five years (or .60 of the next 5 years) so divide 20 by .60 and you get 33.33. Then you have to account for the 2 of the 5 years we don’t make it, so multiply by 2 and you get 66.66. But because it doesn’t have to be any specific three years in the next 5, you add back in the 33.33. So we have a 99.99% chance of making the playoffs 3 of the next 5 years.
Science.

I took Weltman last year. Still a tough class, but he’s a real good dude.

Haha. I had him too. Terrible class. Made an A but didn't learn a damn thing.

Joe Lunardi currently has us as a 6 seed facing St. Boneventure in Dallas.
He has 8 Big 12 teams making the tournament (everybody except OSU and ISU).

I had him but made sure it was over summer.
Get it over with quick. That class would have made a regular fall or spring semester horrible.

Can't play a team you faced in the regular season in the first round, it's a bracketing rule
Joey Brackets should know that although I wonder if he pays attention to details like that. Probably not since he churns out these brackets regularly and at this point its more about the seeding rather than making sure all bracketing rules are followed.

That would be great because I hate rematches, especially if we won the first time.

If I remember correctly, I was able to take that one as an online class and only came in for exams. I don't remember a single thing about that class besides being online, so I guess that's saying something.
Yea lots wrong with that bracket. Can’t play a team you’ve faced 1st rd. Can’t play a team you’ve played twice till the sweet 16 ( he has us and West Virginia in the 2nd round. And can’t play a team you’ve played 3 times until elite 8 ( both Baylor and WV could fall into that category)
