The Perfect Bracket
The odds of filling out a perfect bracket were a staggering
1 in 9.2 quintillion.
That's 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 if you're not into the whole rounding thing.
For NCAA basketball aficionados, the odds increased to
1 in 128,000,000,000.
How big is that?
Youd have a better chance of hitting four holes-in-one in a single round of golf.
You could travel to the edge of our solar system
and back 9.9 billion times.

The Cinderella Effect
The Cinderella Effect (n.) - the dramatic increase in student
applications, athletic donations, and season ticket sales as a result of
an underdog schools advancement in the NCAA tournament.
Historically more #12 seeds have
2nd round wins than #11 seeds with
a winning percentage of 48.8%.
2013 was the only year to have 3 teams
seeded 12 or lower in the Sweet 16:
Oregon #12, LaSalle #13 & FGCU #15
1991 & 2013 had at least 1 team
of every seed (except #16s)
advance to the Round of 32.
Butler is the only team to make
consecutive Final Fours while not being
a #1 or #2 seed either time.
