How is your bracket doing? What? You did not correctly predict the presence of No. 11 seed Loyola in the Final Four? You did not correctly predict that No. 16 seed Maryland-Baltimore County would beat No. 1 seed Virginia by 20 points in the tournament's first week?
You feebly answer that No. 1 seeds are "supposed" to win their first-round games because they always had in the past. You claim that No. 11 seeds are supposed to lose somewhere along the way.
Of course, if these suppositions were true, there would be no need to play these games. But the games are played because sometimes, albeit rarely, David slays Goliath.
Weather works much the same way. If you find yourself claiming our weather is "supposed" to be warmer than this on the last day of March, you are wrong. That it is usually warmer this time of year is certainly true. But not always. Just ask the basketball players from Loyola.
