I just HAD to do this.

I don't know if this is truly a statistically correct thing to do since games are neither played partially, nor with giving points, but I thought I would calculate out what the chances of winning our three games in the tournament would be..... if we spot each team the deficit we gave them at some point in the game.

It comes out to this...

13% Texas

21% Oklahoma

7% Kansas

That means that to win just one of the three games, the odds would have been less than 50-50.

To win all three: 0.2 %

Now...that's indeed if you spot the opposing team at the beginning of the game. If you do that in the second half, you can cut that in half...or 0.1%


Take it for what it is worth.
