FYI @saberpowers, @elishayer, KenPom has round probabilities too. I have no idea if these update throughout the tournament. https://kenpom.com/blog/2018-ncaa-tournament-probabilities/

Nice! Unfortunate that it's available for men's but not the women's tournament. The initial round probabilities do what we're looking for here, so no in-tournament updates is no problem. This would be used as an option from which the pool's population distribution of bracket selections are made.

I'll shoot for adding this as a men's only option for tonight's release.

I'll bother Ken about the women's next time I see him. Which would be the first time.

These probabilities should also be an option from which the true tournament outcomes are simulated by specifying prob.source as opposed to pool.source. In fact, one of the options in the documentation for prob.source is "Pom"---we just never got around to actually delivering those probabilities.
