Hey y’all got whooped by Kentucky real bad

So, basically what happened is, this is what happened, okay, is West Virginia got straight-up whooped. And actually, I’m a Louisville fan so I wasn’t even rooting for Kentucky, really. But to be honest with you, basically they just whomped the shit out of West Virginia. I don’t really have any editorial oversight. Anyways, check this out.

I looked up every time a team got its ass whooped in the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16 round or later. I decided not to include the first round because I wanted to filter out the little-ass schools like Alcorn State or Hampton or Indiana or whatever. This is what I found out.

I didn’t go to school to learn how to do charts or anything like that. Basically I just played around with stuff and figured it out myself because I’m pretty smart. I’m also 5’11, which means I’m taller than most people. Anyways I’m a professional writer for my job. So anyways, West Virginia was basically the worst No. 5 seed in the history of the world last night.

I think a big part of that probably was that Kentucky is real, real good. Like, I don’t know if you saw this, but a few days before the game one of the West Virginia players was saying they were definitely going to beat Kentucky. Obviously they didn’t because they basically couldn’t do anything and just ran around like a bunch of kids while they kept getting dunked on and Kentucky beat them 78 to 39.

Anyways, my point with that last chart is that, look at that. No. 5 seeds have played tons and tons of games in the tournament, but none of them got whooped as bad as West Virginia.

Hold on because I wanted to show y’all one last chart.

78 is exactly twice as many as 39. Think about it, it’s true: you can fit 39 into 78 two times. I would say it’s a special skill to lose that bad, but when you think about it it’s not because you just have to go out there and be bad as fuck.
