8 teams get to the elite 8 every year.  only 1 (MAYBE 2) get a dr. pepper.  factor that into your calculus and smoke it.

What percentage is more likely to happen, Dlew12?  Calculus that out for me TIA

12.5% of tornament teams make the elite 8.  10% of big 12 teams drink the 23 flavors.

calculus thwarted.

Wrong.

There are 351 D1 teams.  Eight of which make an elite 8 = 2.2% chance a team makes an elite 8 every year.  There are 10 teams that can win a Dr Pepper, so either 10/20% of them will.

Apply Scarcity Principle of Social Psychology and the more scarce a thing is the higher importance it has.  Therefore making an elite 8 is more important and has a higher value placed on it.

In this year's version of the B12...i'd say being in the title hunt into the last week or the season and ending up an outright second or tied for first would = a Sweet 16 appearance. Winning outright and ending KU's streak would = an Elite 8 Run. A FF appearance would obviously trump anything short of a perfect B12 season or something and even then a FF would probably be more exciting in the long run.

Man, the E8 run was incredible.
