Refreshingly Honest. I am a conversation designer at Amazon and a bracketologist, among other things I guess!

Congratulations Dusty!

Just realized that the Tennessee-Michigan Elite Eight game also showed up on my @kenpomeroy HUMAN Poll ballot last fall. Glad to have been there to validate my selection in person.

@BrianBoesch I've always wondered - when you're sitting courtside at a venue that has a sheet of ice underneath, does it feel any colder? Or is it insulated enough where it just feels like any other arena?

@haslametrics @RoccoMiller8 Useful chart for Florida vs. PVA&M, too

[Tony @tbasil]

I always knew Siena was too good to be a 16 seed!

[Tony @tbasil]

Tied for 44th out of 290 entries, only 7 seed swaps away from perfection. I'll take it!

Now time to try to improve my KenPom HUMAN poll results. Currently sitting at 32/50. Could maybe get up as high as 36/50 if I get lucky over these next 3 weeks...

Final seed list and bracket:

[Tony @tbasil]

Paymon score of 380
54 dead on
14 off by 1
68/68, first time getting the entire field since 2021

Definitely set a personal record, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see someone hit 400 this year. No surprises from the committee!

@JakeLiker Great writeup! I'm assuming your South 1 seed is Florida?
