Do you think you know which teams will advance the furthest in the tournament? Here's your chance to prove it! Recently, we developed 5 challenges that will determine just how much you know about College Hoops. Take this self-test and check back to see how you're doing along the way.
Introducing our five challengers:
1) The Office Dog.
The office dog is a 15 pound Boston Terrier. His sports knowledge is limited. He can identify a tennis ball and a Frisbee, but that's about it. We laid out dog biscuits of various flavors next to tournament teams. The biscuit he chose would eliminate the team with the biscuit he did not. Three hours and a full dog later, we had our winners.
Your chances of beating the "Office Dog": 89%
2) The Dart Board.
We placed all 64 teams on a dart board and took turns tossing darts blindfolded from 10 feet away. If a dart landed on a team, that team advanced to the next round and their opponent was eliminated. We did this until just one team remained.
Your chances of beating the "Dart Board": 81%
3) The Coin-Flip.
After placing all the teams in the bracket, we used a brand new quarter to determine who would advance to the next round. Heads and the team on top advanced. Tails and the team on the bottom advanced to the next round. We did this until just one team remained.
Your chances of beating the "Coin Flip": 64%
4) The Office Secretary.
Our office secretary has great organization skills and keeps the office running smoothly. However, she admits college basketball is not her best sport. In the past she has picked teams by their nicknames without looking at their record. Call it "women's intuition". Everyone laughs in the beginning but they're crying at the end when she beats them.
Your chances of beating the "Office Secretary": 47%
5) The DellSports Team.
Never underestimate "Team DellSports". Last year we picked 3 of the four Final Four teams. We were right on the money last year and usually we finish strong. Anyone can have a rough tournament, but we are riding a hot streak from last year.
Your chances of beating "Team DellSports": 38%
