March Madness Map: Each State Predicts NCAA Champion

March 16, 2016

The folks over at SportsBettingExperts.com surveyed over 100 sports fans in all 50 states, asking them who would be this year’s NCAA Tournament champion. What they got wasn’t all that shocking but did include a few surprises.

Kansas appears to be the favorite for most, followed by Michigan State and Villanova.

What’s funny, Arizona, Oregon, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Miami, Kentucky, Utah, West Virginia — all homers.

BUT, Iowa, Indiana and Maryland?! SERIOUS homers … all Big Ten teams that have no shot to win it all.

The survey was done via targeted Facebook ads.

That was fun. I like maps.
