Hey all. I look forward to these updates all season!

What movement do you expect to see this season???

Mine is that DePaul will make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004

Chart lists all games for each team, ordered from most likely to win at the bottom to least likely at the top. Based on 1,000 season simulations, the # of wins required to achieve a certain seed is represented on the right.

Two examples provided for Texas Tech and Gonzaga. With more difficult overall schedule, projected that TT would need around 24 wins to achieve a 4 seed and 28 for Gonzaga.

Conference tournament is included - with probability of winning that many conference tournament games. Most difficult game for Texas Tech is 5th conference tourney win. In order to have 5 wins they’d have to be seeded 9-16 in the conference tournament and then win 5 games. It could happen but highly unlikely if they are good enough to win 5 games they would be seeded bottom half of conference.

Current projected wins shown (average of 1,000 season simulations). For Texas Tech - 23.4 wins; 28.6 for Gonzaga. In both cases project teams in 3/4 seed range.

Kind of a weird game where backboards had to be re-adjusted and Izzo gets a technical with about 3 minutes left. Both teams have a ton of length and athleticism.

Discuss and overreact.

Final score Western Kentucky 74 - Indiana 79

A coworker and I guessed over 1,000 D1 men’s basketball games last year, generally focused on all Top 25 matchups, any close game matchups according to ESPN, MW conference games, and any games being played by our local teams.

This year, we’d like to guess winners of EVERY single D1 Men’s Basketball matchup. Does anyone know of a platform we could use to help make this possible?

We presently use a Google Sheets to keep track of our guesses, but surely there’s an easier way to do that than how we do it. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
