This is amazing. Puke still confidently projected to win despite losing right now!
Wonder if the predictor page takings fouls into account. That looks like it may hurt UNCW.This is amazing. Puke still confidently projected to win despite losing right now!
It doesn't, per the 538 "How this works" section.Wonder if the predictor page takings fouls into account. That looks like it may hurt UNCW.
Our interactive graphic will include a dashboard that shows the score and time remaining in every game as it’s played, as well as the chance that each team will win that game. These probabilities are derived using logistic regression analysis, which lets us plug the current state of a game into a model to produce the probability that either team wins the game. Specifically, we used play-by-play data from the past five seasons of Division I NCAA basketball to fit a model that incorporates:
Time remaining in the game
Score difference
Pre-game win probabilities
Which team has possession, with a special adjustment if the team is shooting free throws.
These in-game win probabilities won’t account for everything. If a key player has fouled out of a game, for example, his or her team’s win probability is probably a bit lower than we’ve listed. There are also a few places where the model experiences momentary uncertainty: In the handful of seconds between the moment when a player is fouled and the free throws that follow, we use the team’s average free-throw percentage. Still, these probabilities ought to do a reasonably good job of showing which games are competitive and which are in the bag.
Don't know, but UNC won in 09, NIT in 10; Kentucky won in 12; NIT in 13.Ever had a team be the last one standing one year and then first one out (technically) the next?
This 12-0 run as I type this, plus UNCW looks gassed. This game is over.The refs are going to will Duke to victory. They always have the 6th man in their pocket.
That and having 2 biggest guys on bench with 3, 4 fouls hurts too!This 12-0 run as I type this, plus UNCW looks gassed. This game is over.The refs are going to will Duke to victory. They always have the 6th man in their pocket.
Just wait till you see the Iona-ISU graph.This 538 probability thing is great.
I've been watching them all since you posted the link....gonna look cool when some team pulls an upset or hits a buzzer beater.Just wait till you see the Iona-ISU graph.
They are up by 18 before the half.How in the world is UVA a 23 point favorite? And I'm a UVA fan!
Yale, Wichita St., and Gonzaga still have a good shot.Looks like no upsets today fellas.
