Yes- I, the NCAA March Madness guru, am back to save your bracket. If you've kept up with the series, you're probably asking why I consider myself a guru when I'm one for four in my March Madness predictions. First of all, STOP- don't bring that negative energy here. Second, I'd say I'm two and five since you can't prove I was wrong with my 2020 prediction that Dayton would win the championship.
But I recently realized the reason I've been wrong is your fault. There are too many naysayers about my methods, which then irritates the arbitrary sequences I am observing, causing me to be incorrect. It's not me- it's you. We will be rewarded if you approach this prediction with a positive mentality. Plus, I haven't been that wrong when you really think about it.
2018: I was a young man, a little boy, and it was my first attempt, a mulligan if you will.
2019: I was right about Virginia. Shoutout to Kyle Guy and what is perhaps the most American name of all time.
2020: I would have been correct if not for Covid-19. So I'll take this dub too. Thank you.
2021: I was right that a #1 seed would win, just got the region wrong. Thanks professor, I'll take the half-credit.
2022: I was working with an incomplete data set that would have revealed #1 seeds won five tournaments in a row once before in the 90s.
Now that I've presented my case as the March Madness guru, and you realize you need to do your part by bringing positive vibes, I am here to give my prediction for the 2023 March Madness Champions based on hours on hours of analyzing numerical sequences that have absolutely nothing to do with basketball.
