Podcast: The Top 5 Insights into the 2017 NCAA Tournament

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

My apologies for how late I’m posting this podcast on the NCAA tournament. Better late than never, but I’ll do this show earlier in the week next year.

In this episode, I dig into the following points:

  • Do streaks matter heading into the tournament?
  • The sneaky talented 8 seed that could wreck your bracket.
  • Which region is the most difficult? Compared with this Region of Death, which is the Region of Eternal Life?
  • The conference of pretenders by the numbers.
  • The unexpected resource that could help you pick a winner.
