Appendix-Basketball

Some relevant facts of basketball for this paper:

(1)there are two teams

(2) each team typically has twelve members, but only five from each team are on the court at a given time

(3) at the university level, a game consists of two periods of twenty minutes each

At the end of the season the National Collegiate Athletic Association holds a single elimination tournament in which the ostensibly best 64 college teams in the country play. Those sixteen teams remaining in the tournament after two rounds of play are informally called the "Sweet Sixteen."
