    Wall Street Journal Blind Bracket

    WSJ has built a blind tournament simulator which evaluates 6 key factors of every team in the tournament, Experience, Size, Offense, Defense, 3-Pt Shooting, and Hot Streak.

    See if your bracket matches up with your gut:

      Experience and Size were my two most important factors.

          Some of the categories are skewed, like experience. Does this Gonzaga team even have any tourny experience? Yet they received the full 5 bars for it.

          That said, I got Indiana over Gonzaga in my national title game.

            defense and size were my top 2 factors then offense, 3s, and finally hotstreak (although not sure they had a good number for it)

            gotta say it was a bit different than whom I would of picked off of name alone

                  I figure if the Wall Street Journal Blind Bracket added a seventh key factor of "tempo", Pitt would be out in the 1st round.
