Dailey Bailey: The NCAA Tournament Features the Worst Group of Teams in College Basketball History

Here’s some advice when you’re filling out your March Madness bracket this year. Expect chaos. Because this year’s tournament might feature the worst group of teams in college basketball history.

The tournament has been going on for 77 years, and this is the first time that every single team involved has at least four losses. And there are only two that ONLY have four losses: Kansas and Arkansas-Little Rock.

Here are three more random stats to remind you just what a crapshoot it is to pick a good bracket . . .

1. Last year, only 1.6% of the 11.57 million brackets people submitted on ESPN.com picked all four teams in the Final Four.

2. The odds of filling out a perfect bracket are one in 9.2 quintillion. You’re more likely to win the Mega Millions jackpot twice in a row.

3. And Vegas casinos make around $100 million in profits during March Madness.
