Gonzaga’s Win Over West Virginia was Odd

I’ve posted this chart before, but added the result from Gonzaga’s win over W. Virginia in the first round of the 2012 NCAA tournament on Thursday.

The game in Pittsburgh required Gonzaga to travel 2,200 more miles than W. Virginia, who took an hour-long bus ride to the game.

Based on historical data, Gonzaga shouldn’t have won by 22 points.

Cinderella Plot
