NCAA NUMBERS

The Friday File: The odds of correctly picking all 63 games in the men’s/women’s NCAA basketball tournament, assuming each team has 50% chance of winning each game, is 1 in 9,223,372,063,854,775,808, or 1 in 9.2 quintillion. There aren’t that many grains of sand on Earth. Assuming you have a 75% chance of picking each game’s winner, the chance of picking every winner improves to 1 in 120.2 billion. Good luck!
