Well, the Covid 19 Virus has brought the pain, shock, and awe to the whole world. In the US it has systematically shut down society in waves of repercussions. The sports world was shut down last week. There is no end in sight.
In the interim several media outlets have released their versions of a simulated NCAA Basketball Tournament, including ESPN’s #TwitterTourney2020. ESPN uses Lunardi’s last bracket (12Mar20) and an advanced simulation algorithm. No indication of any team criteria used.
That said, I have been following along, between sessions of Elite Dangerous, X4 Foundations, and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Gotta do sumthin’ while housebound.
Jays to the Sweet Sixteen! Will match up with Michigan State on Tuesday.

Best Creighton moments of the 2019-20 season.
We will have polls throughout the day during the upcoming weeks to decide the top moment of our season!#GoJays
East – Butler over Liberty, Nova falls to N.Kentucky.
MW – Mahoney hits buzzer-beater, CU survives.
South – The Hall rolls. Rutgers stops Prov.
West – Howard & Marquette roll over Arizona.
2nd Round…
Butler and Marquette advance to SS. 2 & done – Jays and Seton Hall.
Sweet Sixteen…
Both Butler and Marquette fall in SS.
…and then. Here’s my favorite from ESPN’s Kyle Soppe (Sultan of Stats). Kyle put out his bracket with a FF of Kansas, Creighton, Gonzaga, and San Diego State. Then he topped it by predicting a KU vs CU final.
