Build Your March Madness Bracket With Historical Data Through Sigma
Blog post from Sigma
As March Madness approaches, Sigma offers a customizable workbook designed to help users create informed NCAA tournament brackets by analyzing statistics from every Division I men's basketball tournament game since 2013, alongside current season data. Users can adjust the importance of various statistics such as field goal percentage, points per game, or historical performance, allowing the platform to generate bracket predictions based on individual preferences. Sigma emphasizes its role as a data gateway, enabling users to interact directly with data without needing coding skills, and provides tools like the "Matchup Comparison" and "Bracket Builder" tabs to facilitate deeper analysis. Additionally, the platform hosts a webinar with ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi to guide users on which statistics are most impactful, and encourages participation in both men's and women's bracket competitions, highlighting the opportunity to explore trends and make data-driven predictions.
