So brush off those tourneyometry books and get ready because this is officially March.
What can you expect from studying for the MMAD?
Here’s how I’ll put it.
That’s standardized testing baby!
But when that day comes, I’ll be ready.
Assuming my phone is charged.
But seriously, March Madness is about having fun with your bracket picks and your bets.
Sharpen those number twos - it’s time to get MMAD.
Response explanations:
A.
(incorrect) Well it’s sorta correct but not the BEST correct.
Don’t you just love standardized testing?
And boy did they ever.
Every NIT better needs to put LMU down as a team to live bet if they trail big.
D. (Correct) BEST correct answer!
I won’t lie, it feels good deceiving you in this way.
Sample Question #2
Going deep in to March Madness is all about weathering storms and keeping composure.
Probably a good idea to fade teams that showed signs of choking.
Which of the following schools have lost the most games after leading by 10 points?
(Incorrect) A really good guess which means: wrong.
Jesus, If I made real standardized tests I’d be the most hated test maker in the game.
D. (Correct) Bingo.
Response Explanations:
A.
Seems John the Baptist must have been more of a la-cross guy.
(Incorrect) Both these teams tied for most consecutively missed free throws with 11.
Mississippi State lost to Georgia on January 11th and Northeastern was obliterated by Syracuse on November 19th.
12 beats 11 from response B.
That team was also UTEP on November 22nd vs Alcorn State.
Again this is for ALL of men’s college basketball.
Does this really matter though?
Is UTEP even going to make the NIT?
Who cares but this next school definitely is not.
E. (Correct) Picture this.
There’s only eight seconds left in the game.
Your team is up two and you just got fouled.
Again, that’s six free throws in just eight seconds.
You’re team is wearing blue and your opponent is in white.
What could possibly go wrong?
What could go wrong?
Again, your team was up by two points.
What could go wrong?
Your team is in the blue.
How’d you do?
Don’t worry, I’ll work on some more sample tests soon.
We’ll get you ready for the MMADness real soon.
See you tonight at office hours.
