There are 311 entrants in this year’s Market Madness Contest (about the same as last year.) I've posted a sortable summary of 2015 unit selections. Click on any linked column heading to sort by that column. A few quick observations:
  • Favorite shorts are Kansas, Big East basket, Georgetown, #4 seed bracket, and Virginia
  • Favorite longs are Kentucky, Arizona, Wichita State, Michigan State, and Iowa State (oops!).
  • Kentucky was the most active unit, with 177 longs and 30 shorts. Still, that means that Kentucky does not appear (in its pure team form) on one-third of all slates.
  • Every unit had some activity. The two units with the lightest activity were Belmont and North Dakota State, each with on long and one short.
Meanwhile, the four RIBC league drafts are all underway. Rationales for all picks in the top RIBC league are being posted (on approx. a two-round lag) in this thread.
