That's actually the most famous example of the gambler's fallacy:
The gambler's fallacy is the mistaken belief that if something happens less frequently than normal during some period, it will happen more frequently in the future (presumably as a means of balancing nature).
The most famous example occurred in a game of roulette at the Monte Carlo Casino on August 18, 1913, when the ball fell in black 26 times in a row. This was an extremely uncommon occurrence, although no more or less common than any of the other 67,108,863 sequences of 26, red or black. Gamblers lost millions of francs betting against black, reasoning incorrectly that the streak was causing an "imbalance" in the randomness of the wheel, and that it had to be followed by a long streak of red.
But, and this should go without saying, anyone who thinks this principle has any application to winning the NCAA tournament is an insufferable prick and can **** off.

I understand the laws, I just don't subscribe to them all the time. I've seen a color run for 8-10 times in a row on a few occasions, but it's far from the norm.
If I hop on a table and see 7 straight of a color, you bet your *** I'm going the other way for a few rolls, and hard. No different than me switching seats or other stupid **** I do when watching a UK game when necessary. **** is real -- that's my story...

Mason is just unguardable -- what a progression of a career, really. I used to hate his game.
He's got Fox speed, silly tight handles, and is also the best shooter in the Big 12, and probably the best off-the-dribble shooter in the country.
It's a one game deal, but KU looks pretty scary relative to this field right now. :eyes:

After watching Oregon/Michigan and Gonzaga/WVU, it's kind of jarring to watch Purdue. They're not tough enough or smart enough to be here. Just don't belong this deep in the tournament. They just happen to have some tall dudes, and yeah, Swanigan is a beast. But they just don't belong here.
Also, Kansas is good. But the above is still true.

I've loved Oregon all year. They can match Kansas athleticism and versatility. Just got to hope Graham and Mason stop making every shot.
LOL. You're the biggest whiny ***** in the universe. It's unreal.
KANSAS CHEATS!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!
Are you not watching them play actual basketball? Do you remember them playing Kentucky in LEXINGTON a few months ago at Dunbar HS? Or the Rec Center? Can't remember where it was, but they came to Lexington and punked our ***.
Stop being a stupid homer. They're good, deal with it.

"Stunting." "Dazzle."

NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT, MATTHEW.
- WVU win means profit in the Calcutta. Plus I love cheering for them. Feel like they're my solid second team.
- Things my grandfather hated:
• Japan
• Cassius Clay (refused to call him by his "dodger name"
• The University of Louisville
That's it. That's the list.
- Leftover CFA sauce from my post call breakfast this morning...incredible wing sauce. Mercy.
- Nashville real estate. Christ. Trying to live downtown but the prices are nuts.
- 2001 Explorer I've had since I was 16 is on her last leg. Think I'll be able to hold out a few months but damn that'll be a sad day. High school, college road trips, tailgates, winter storms up here. Been through a lot.
But I'm sure the 2016 explorer I'm planning on replacing with will be a nice coping mechanism.
All good until the last sentence. By any chance, are you a doctor?
They are playing a regional at home- in a city they literally play games they count on their home record. UNC doesn't even get that.
Look- I know you're a frontrunner but this is a UK board so F Kansas.
If you don't like that, F you, too.

Yep, Kansas looks damn good, and they were my pick to win it. But the way all these sportswriters just fangirl over whatever is NOW, what's HOT!!! . . .
Yeah, I remember rolling into NOLA in 1993 with the Cats riding the largest average victory margin in the first 4 rounds of any team in tournament history . . .
So, as Warren Wolf says in Pulp Fiction, let's not start s****** each other's ***** just yet, OK Matt?
It only takes one game.
Margin of Victory
R64: 38 (100-62)
R32: 20 (90-70, Michigan St)
R16: 32 (98-66, Purdue)
Frontrunner. [laughing] I've been on record for MONTHS now (to your constant ridicule) saying KU was the team to beat -- do they look like it or nah? Who does?
I watch Basketball. You picked Kentucky to win it all. #sharp
Lucky bastards!
Of course it only takes one game. They could lose next round -- but that doesn't mean they aren't the best team playing ball right now, b/c they CLEARLY are (after Kentucky, of course)

awww - he's a nice dude (when he's not going all "Ike Turner" and drunkenly beating people of course).....besides.....I basically forgot about the games tonight and my posts were the equivalent of some cross-eyed idiot stumbling into the room with their pants around their ankles and toilet paper in their hair........while asking for your confidence to work at a local missile works .... type place....
Maybe. We'll see. Go ahead and crown them.
Like I said- you're a frontrunner, a hypeman.
Not crowning anybody. It's the NCAA Tournament, they could easily choke just like Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, (and Kansas) have so many times. That's the NCAAT
But that doesn't change the fact they are playing the best ball of any team in the tournament, and it's not particularly close. You acted like I was an idiot for suggesting they were a 'favorite' beginning in December b/c of whatever they did in whatever year. You were wrong.
Sorry that hurts your feelings buddy.
This all started with me calling you out for your typical homer REFS ARE ******** THEY ARE CHEATING routine. It's truly pathetic, makes you sound like the women and poser sports fans you never stop railing on. Do better. Watch basketball.
I hate Kansas.

Central time > Eastern time
Well, that's an even worse take than anything Chad has said tonight. Congrats, Tommy.

I hold sports grudges forever
Still hate Arizona for 1997 -- so I'm hoping HAH-VEE-EYER wins
Would be cool to drop someone and schedule them annually too

That white guy in the wet suit for Xavier looks like a real jackass.
[laughing] I love JP.
He reminds me of Brandt or Ian, or maybe a combo of them. Baller.

Sean Miller going with the John Calipari Wisconsin 2-minute offense. Questionable approach.
