During Mr. Webb’s Math in Sports section, students teamed up to create predictive models to fill out NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Brackets. Two students in particular, Vishnu Pulavarthi and Ankith Laichetty, went all out on this project. Their statistical model not only predicted Villanova beating UNC in the championship game, but it landed them in the top 1% of all brackets submitted (over 9 million) to ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. Well done!
Congratulations Math in Sports
