Seems kind of low to only get 12 points for making the championship game but losing

Just a quick note: Arkansas has more NCAA tournament appearances, Sweet 16s, Elite 8s, and Final Fours than Florida all-time.

The post-Nolan Richardson years of Stan Heath, John Pelphrey, and Mike Anderson years really hurt Arkansas basketball.

The scaling from going from Final Four to actual NC game seems low. Why do it like that?

How many SEC teams have gone to the final and lost? That Arkansas team that lost to UCLA and the O'Bannion brothers is the only one I can think of.

The gap from 1 to 2 is about the same as the gap from 2 to 7.

Kentucky has lost 4 title games. We're tied with UCLA with 12 title appearances. They're 11-1 we're 8-4.

Y'all have one more F4 (6 to 5) but I'll take the extra title. And all of our F4s are in the 64 team era where we had to win at least 4 games.

Why not use powers of 2?

1
2
4
8
16
32
64

Each round is awarded twice as much as the previous round.
