My ESPN bracket shows I am in the 99 percentile, but I have maxed out my points. I cannot win another game

I have only Texas left in my final 4 and yet I'm in the top 7% of brackets haha Crazy March Madness, I love it!My ESPN bracket shows I am in the 99 percentile, but I have maxed out my points. I cannot win another game
Yep. Looking forward to Zags vs UConn. Huskies have been whompin' on everyone.
I went from 96% to 85% after Xavier's loss. And I have 500 points out of a now max 580. My Gonzaga/Kansas State bracket still has a 1290 max, but I don't have it in any groups.My ESPN bracket shows I am in the 99 percentile, but I have maxed out my points. I cannot win another game
Random aside: Yesterday I thought March Madness is evidence against fortune telling. If anyone could accurately predict the future, could they resist making a bracket?

How long before AI will be able to crunch the probability down to manageable numbers? We talking about brackets. Not a game. 
Hmmmm some familiar names at the Top this afternoon! Who would think that all but 1 choice would be left as the Champ? Crazy tourney and I hope a real Cindyrella wins now!
Brackets? We in here talkin' bout brackets??How long before AI will be able to crunch the probability down to manageable numbers? We talking about brackets. Not a game.
Any theories why there are no #1 seeds, one #2 seed, two #3 seeds, etc. left in the tournament?
I say it's because of the modern offenses... the shoot first, dribble second, pass third, stand around and watch the game pass you by mentality... live by the three and die by it... a pro game played by college kids.

Parity
That's coming from the guy who coached the last #1 seed to win it.

Then Kenpom metrics are that teams who shoot a lot of 3's and layups (which includes dunks) are best positioned to win games.
KenPom Ratings: What Are They And How Can They Help You Bet
The real madness in March is when people bet on college basketball games without taking a peek at the Pomeroy ratings. Making wagers without consulting these highly respected metrics is like choosing to eat pasta with a spoon. Yes, you can meet your goals, but you’re making things a lot harder...
Parity, yes, created with the extra year of eligibility, transfers, and the NIL. But I still maintain that the modern offenses (stand around the three point line and wait for an open three, create off the dribble, pick and roll, one-on-one, pass if all else fails offense) is making the game less interesting and allows for more forced, and poorer, shot selection, and fewer assists. Much less a team sport. There is no consistency.

IMHO KSU played like a team last game. Every one knew their roles and stayed within themselves and let the game come to them. Every one chipped in on defense. I would be happy if they won since they were picked to finish last in conference and for the most part are never even mentioned second to Kansas. Regardless it's fun watching less prevalent winners go so far in the dance.

Zags should handle them. Timme is a beast on a mission.
Plus they scored 100 or more in 8 games this season.
