This time of year, everyone looks for the slightest edge in their March Madness bracket pools. After all, just one game could frequently make the difference between money and bragging rights or getting nothing at all.
One Reddit user seems to have found a hilarious bit of information that could help win you your March Madness bracket pool.
That is, if you don’t take things too seriously.Everyone loves picking the big upset, even though it’s the wrong choice to try to do so if you’re in a highly competitive bracket pool using the standard exponential scoring. But, for many, it’s cooler to be the guy who picked Fairleigh Dickinson to beat Purdue than it is to win the pool.
If that describes you, look at this tip.

There’s not much to say about this, other than it’s absolutely incredible. People can say the internet is bad and mostly full of nonsense. That’s true a lot of the time. But, this is when the internet is at its best. This is the expert analysis we all seek out.
So, could Houston get upset? It’s unlikely. The Cougars are the best defensive team in recent memory and are dominant on the offensive boards. Against a Longwood team that will be significantly overmatched athletically, that spells trouble. The two number-one seeds to get upset in tournament history, Virginia in 2018 and Purdue last year, were not necessarily teams with elite athleticism that could physically take over a game against an inferior opponent.
But, throw that all out the window if you want to, and trust this guy’s data. It will be way more fun. Plus, you could be the cool guy in your office’s March Madness bracket pool.
Houston will take on Longwood on Friday at 9:20 ET.
