Just for those interested...
I created an algorithm to try and predict the score of the basketball tournament that takes into account 8 different variables: Last 10 games played, Opponent Effective fg%, Assist to turnover ratio, free throw %, close game win %, BPI, difficulty of schedule, and number of NBA prospects.
The first five I got from teamrankings.com, the second two I got from ESPN, and the last I got form CBS top 150 NBA draft prospects.
Won't go into too much detail...as not sure if anyone will care...but here were some interesting things I got when I plugged everything in.
1. Oregon loses to St. Joes in the second round
2. Texas A&M is in the final 4
3. Gonzaga as an 11 seed is the only double digit seed to make it to the sweet 16
4. Notre Dame and Purdue make it to elite 8...
5. Final Four of Kansas, UNC, Texas A&M, and Purdue
And just for kicks, I put Arkansas in there and we were spit out as a 12 seed.
