Bracket Tactics: Saturday's Tip of the Day
Leading up to the 2008 NCAA Tournament, we'll be presenting daily tips to help you fill in your bracket.
Today's Bracket Tactic
FACT: The last time that both teams in a
title game were making their first-ever appearances in a Final 4 was 1945 (when
Oklahoma A&M played NYU).
BRACKET TIP:
If you pick
Butler,
Clemson,
Gonzaga,
Tennessee,
Vanderbilt,
or
Xavier
to play in the title game, then make sure you have them facing off against a
team that has previously been to a Final 4.
Today's tip from the editor: One seeds tend to be the real deal.. substantially bigger locks than any other seed. No matter how overrated you think Memphis is, there's historically been an 86% chance that they at least make the 3rd round.
