I love the 538 table

I know people hate Nate Silver, but this is cool.

NU started today as a 2% chance of making the Elite Eight, but with Princeton hanging tough, it's up to 3%!

I love smart people. This is great.

I have no idea how to calculate the "Excitement Index" on this site, but the Notre Dame-Princeton and Wisconsin-Virginia Tech games were both rated "4.6" on the Excitement Index. Those were tied for second for most "exciting" games of the day.

Northwestern-Vanderbilt scored a 9.3.

Did some research into the formula for the excitement index...
The first digit indicates the number of adult beverages required to cope with the stress. 9 in this instance.
The final digit is the number of times the TV broadcast had to be paused to step outside to puff on a cigar. That would be 3.
The small circle between the two digits (I know, it looks like a dot, or decimal) approximates the size of the typical NU fan’s butthole during the final two minutes of the game.

That is a cool site. If you hover your cursor over a team it will give you their projected win percentage all the way to the championship game. They estimate we have a 12% chance to beat Gonzaga.

Yeah, all throughout yesterday I think Gonzaga had the highest percentage of winning the second round. Not sure if North Carolina or Kansas can surpass it today if the winds blow right.

Sure as hell beats 78 years of 0%
