Thank you for the kind notes we have received about our NY Times article on the Final Four, championship characteristics, and "quant fact" predictions.
Our "quant fact" traits remain the same in terms of which team is predicted to win the 2011 NCAA Men's Championship: UConn has more factors on its side (so our blog's "official prediction" will be UConn) -- although Butler has shown what experience and coaching can do!
