Kaggle March Madness Update
Well, I’ve gone up in the rankings every scoring update. From 233rd to 170th to currently in 126th. Just about top 15%. That’s positive. And with the new scoring system, there is a ton of room to move up (and DOWN) very quickly.
Probabilities for women’s games today (remember these are pre-tournament probabilities that these teams would reach the Sweet Sixteen, NOT single game win probabilities):
Notre Dame: 79.33%
Ole Miss: 17.45%
NC State: 78.33%
Tennessee: 20.37%
Syracuse: 18.67%
UConn: 76.76%
Oklahoma: 26.11%
Indiana: 69.29%
West Virginia: 11.69%
Iowa: 83.15%
Creighton: 9.48%
UCLA: 85.15%
Kansas: 9.57%
USC: 85.8%
Utah: 40.58%
Gonzaga: 55.04%
And here are my probabilities for the men’s games next Thursday and Friday:
Thursday
Clemson: 7.75%
Arizona: 26.47%
San Diego St: 6.04% (0% in my aggressive bracket)
UConn: 71.53% (100% in my aggressive bracket)
Alabama: 21.37%
North Carolina: 51.43%
Illinois: 27.09%
Iowa St: 46.87%
Friday
NC State: 4.52%
Marquette: 38.57%
Gonzaga: 6.86%
Purdue: 69.26%
Duke: 12.87%
Houston: 69.82%
Creighton: 21.28%
Tennessee: 44.22%
In my aggressive bracket I have South Carolina and UConn winning the men’s and women’s titles with probability 100%. If that happens I pick up 0 loss for all those games in all 6 rounds. And 0 loss in the finals would be absolutely massive in reducing my score as it would be a full 1/6th of my score with 0 loss. So let’s go UConn and South Carolina!
Cheers.
