Over 22 million March Madness brackets were busted on ESPN alone within a day of the NCAA men's tournament. Fewer than 0.001% of brackets remained perfect across ESPN and NCAA's challenges, with slim chances of any staying flawless. Just 0.0003% of Capital One's brackets stayed unbroken after day one, despite surprises like Duquesne's upset over Brigham Young University. Less than 2,000 ESPN brackets remained perfect by Thursday night, while Yahoo Fantasy Sports had only 116. Duquesne's close win shocked many, with less than a quarter of Yahoo Fantasy Sports contestants predicting it. Upsets also came from Michigan State and Oregon. Later, Oakland stunned by defeating three-seeded Kentucky. Perfect brackets in contests like USA Today Sports' could win $1 million, with prizes for other top brackets. It's remarkable that no one has ever achieved a perfect March Madness bracket, given the extremely slim odds. #hustlerdigest #marchmadness2024 #MarchMadness #marchmadnessbrackets #ncaa #espn #yahoofantasy #usa #sports #USC #Kendrick

In order to evaluate NHL goalie performance in some manner, I created a metric called "Goalie Overperformance Value" or GOPV which acts as a linear bayesian adjustment of the ratio between goals against and expected goals against (xGA). This means that the lower the GOPV value, the more representative of a top goalie. Using MoneyPuck data, I created a model which originally was intended to be a ridge regression model with goals saved above expected (GSAx) as the target variable versus the goalie factor and the shooting team factor (using each shooting player would have created an exponentially large matrix which would take forever to run). However, using different lambda values as found by cross validation, I found it best to make it linear by just setting lambda to 0 so that the shrinkage was not affecting the original value too much. The adjusted GSAx per shot was generated and multipled by shots to get adjusted GSAx, which also created a adjusted goal overperformance value just based on the linear adjustment by doing goals divided by adjusted xG (which is adjusted GSAx + goals). Then I performed a Bayesian adjustment by taking all shots greater than 1000 and creating a gamma prior distribution (as there are values greater than 1). After simulating the posterior gamma distribution, a mean and standard deviation was outputted and the mean was used as the linear bayesian adjusted goalie overperformance, which I coined as GOPV. It does help prioritize goalies who digest more shots but there are backup goalies shown on both of these lists. https://lnkd.in/eZiM4vrd https://lnkd.in/enQPjj3u #hockey #nhl #sportsanalytics #hockeyanalytics #sports #datascience #statistics
