IU Hoosier41

Blind Brackets Picker

Recommended Posts

Wall Street Journal has done this in the past, and it's extremely interesting to see where you would put teams based on their attributes alone.  Some could argue the value's they use aren't the greatest, but overall it's a fun little exercise to see how you would pick the teams.  To do yours head over to the link --> Wall Street Journal's Blind Bracket

 

Now it's time to share your bracket!

Pretty cool to pick blindfolded, and still come out with the Hoosiers as my champion!

Elite 8:  Saint Louis, Duke, Gonzaga, Arizona, Kansas, Florida, Indiana, Miami

Final Four: Duke, Gonzaga, Florida, Indiana

Championship Game:  Indiana vs Gonzaga

Champion:  Indiana HOOSIERS!

 

 

Interesting I liked Saint Louis so much.  SHOCKED that I had Arizona going so far... Might need to redo my bracket as I originally had them losing to Belmont!  What did you guys end up with?

I enjoyed doing this last year when you had shown it to me. It is a fun thing and it comes back with interesting results. Eliminates most bias. I'll post my results from it later for comparison.

Looks like I've got Indiana winning too.

Elite 8: St. Louis, Duke, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Kansas, Florida, Indiana, Miami

Final 4: St. Louis, Wisconsin, Florida, Indiana

Championship game: Indiana over Wisconsin

 

It's a little scary to see another Wisconsin Indiana matchup, but hopefully this time we'll know what it takes to win.

I had IU over SLU in the final also, funny how most of ours is similar.  IU is pretty obvious in this one though, and they are STACKED!
