Probability tracker has 11 seed Wichita St. as a 59/41 favorite over Miami. UK over IU slightly better at 62/38. Best odds tomorrow according to the odds tracker is UNC over Providence with 92/8 odds. I don't get that, Providence ain't bad...

Utah/Gonzaga basically a toss-up according to the odds tracker...

According to the odds tracker, Wichita St. vs. Vandy was a toss-up, but now they have Wichita St. as a 60/40 favorite over 3 seed Miami? What's up with that, odds tracker?

Damn, Nova was only up by 4 with about 4 minutes remaining in the half. Now they're up 14. According to the odds tracker, that means they went on a 10-0 run in the last 4 minutes...

According to the odds tracker, there was a 94% chance you'd say that...

I like Wichita better than Miami or Arizona, but ended up picking Miami in the S16 since they would only have to beat one of the other 2.

I don't understand how the odds tracker has VCU as an 80% favorite and they're only up 3 with 7 minutes remaining...

Now VCU has just scored and it jumped to 91%. Up 5 with over 6 minutes to go, I don't see how you can be a 90+% favorite and also the lower seed...

Most computer rankings (and Im sure 538's methodology isnt that far off) have Oregon State as not very good despite their seed.

Getting 7 teams in and going 1-6 as the higher seeded team in each matchup on opening weekend would have to be one of the most pathetic performances of all time by a conference if it happens.

I guess Oregon probably isnt going to lose though.

Are you saying the odds tracker is a computer? I thought it was a guy turning dials like on an Etch-a-Sketch to create the graph. Damn...
