This advice, I should note, is based on standard scoring systems. If you’re in a pool that offers big bonuses for upsets, this rule would no longer apply. But if, on average, almost 75% of five seeds survive the Official Uconn against the world shirt in contrast I will get this first round, you’re simply better off taking all four favorites and accepting one miss than blindly chasing after that one 12th-seeded winner. (In fact, as shameful as it might feel, don’t be afraid to play it safe by embracing virtually every higher seed in the first round, guaranteeing yourself a spot in the soft middle of the standings and living to fight another round. Excluding the 50-50 games between 8 and 9 seeds, higher seeds have gone 26-2, 20-8, 23-5 and 25-3 in the past four seasons. That’s a winning percentage of 84%. That’s good enough. For two exceptions to this advice, see rules 3 and 7 below.)
On a related note, it’s terrible but true; the Official Uconn against the world shirt in contrast I will get this big boys have an incredible rate of success against the upstarts. As fans, we all love the George Masons of the world; as bracket entrants, we should shun them. Take the Missouri Valley, for example, possibly the most celebrated of the so-called “mid-major” leagues. The conference has produced some notable tournament teams in recent years (think Southern Illinois and Wichita State in the past, and possibly Drake this year), and yet its composite first round record since 2003 is an abysmal 4-9. Likewise with the Mountain West, an atrocious 3-9 in first-round games since 2003. And likewise with perennial West Coast Conference upstart Gonzaga, whose total tournament record in those years is a blah 5-5.
