For all your fancy-pants statistical needs.

Praise for The Basketball Distribution:

"...confusing." - CBS
"...quite the pun master." - ESPN

Right now....

Right now, Duke is the best team in the nation. So who has the best chance of beating them?













Predicted Point Margin % chance of neutral win
1 North Carolina -2.15 48.50%
2 Gonzaga -1.75 48.13%
3 Pittsburgh -3.6 43.70%
4 Georgetown -3.33 43.60%
5 Arizona St. -4.25 41.95%
6 Wake Forest -4.21 41.84%
7 Missouri -4.44 41.30%
8 Connecticut -4.25 40.42%
9 West Virginia -5.45 40.24%
10 Memphis -5.25 38.76%
11 Louisville -5.71 38.47%
12 UCLA -5.43 37.99%



There you have it. UNC has a higher % chance of win because the normal distribution assumes that Boston College was an off-day, and Michigan State was generally a pretty good day.
