Damn it UVA figured out how to play again.

On the bright side they're celebrating hitting 3s like they're in a close game with Duke, which is pretty lol.

Picking good but laid 25/1 no 16 seed wins this year. Got a scare for sure. Soon as i bet it I remembered that Gardner Webb came into Rupp Arena in the early season, supposed to be 30 point loser about ten years ago, and blew UK off the floor. Spooked me here as did that first half. Was just eliminating UVA as potential first round loser again.

Probably a large enough boost to justify taking a reasonably worse team in the first round, depending on your scoring system

Or at least to not preference picking a better team and hope u get stuck with the weaker one, i.e. better to have a strong 13 and 14 with a corresponding weak 12 and 11 than it is to have a strong 11 and 12 and weak 13 and 14 in different pods

I'm guessing a perfect AI drafter gives up points in places to increase chances of actually winning, possibly quite often. You only have to win by 1.

Think this probably works out further away with the 1-4 seeds as well.
