Bracket Tactics: Wednesday Night's Tip
March 19th, 2008
By Jon Teitel
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: While #7 seeds are 57-35 vs. #10
seeds in the 1st round since 1985, #10 seeds have had much more success against
#2 seeds in the 2nd round: #10 seeds are 17-18 in the 2nd round during that time
(including an average of 1 upset win per year over the past 11 years), while #7
seeds are only 17-40 in the 2nd round over the same time period.
BRACKET TIP: Pick two or three #7 seeds to win in the 1st round, but try
to find one #10 seed who can make it all the way to the Sweet 16.
Editor's Follow Up: Based on Jon's tip today.. the best bet for a 10 seed advancing beyond the first round would probably be Davidson or Arizona.
