Here are the probabilities KRACH came up with for the Final Four:
Harvard-LSSU 56%
BU-Minnesota 68%
...and for the final, these:
BU Minnesota
Harvard 39% 57%
LSSU 34% 52%
or, more succinctly, KRACH makes BU favorites if they win, and the Gophers
underdogs if they win.
To scatter some more (useless?) numbers around the place: the probabilites
of the various championship games are:
Harvard-BU 38%
LSSU-BU 30%
Harvard-Minnesota 18%
LSSU-Minnesota 14%
and the probabilities of winning the whole thing are:
BU 43%
Harvard 25%
LSSU 17.5%
Minnesota 14.5%
Curious coincidence time: my predicted championship game is BU-Harvard.
Today I went to a talk by a professor of Statistics who now teaches at
BU and who did his PhD at Harvard. (His name is Ralph D'Agostino, if
any of you know him. If you do, of course, you'll be able to calculate
the last two tables of probabilities from the first two, won't you?)
