Our Game Simulator started out as a fun project that allowed me to write some code that played out games possession by possession. It turned into something that picked margin of victory quite well, and also correctly picked Duke to win it all last season. It picked over 75% of the ACC regular season games which was better than every person in our Game Picking contest. So, the next step is to predict the tournament.
Our legal team wants to remind you, this is just for fun and not intended to be used for gambling purposes.
Here is the Game Sim's predicted winners for the East Region...
What do you think? UNC fans, I know I know, but I even ran a few extra sims to make sure that it had Washington beating UNC. It was close, but it wasn't that close. Let me know where the game sim missed in the comments.
We'll continue our series of posts this afternoon when we post the next region. Stay Tuned!
