Monday night we are posting the brackets based on six factors. There will be eight blogs for you to choose from as guides for your picks. We you see a live link it means the bracket has been posted.
Bracket I - KenPom Minus Injured Players - UConn beats Alabama for Title
Bracket II - KenPom Plus Coaches Past Tournament Runs - Kansas beats Virginia for Title
Bracket III - KenPom Plus NBA Talent on Team - Houston beats Alabama for Title
Bracket IV - KenPom Plus Hottest Teams - UConn beats Alabama for Title
Bracket V - KenPom Plus Turnover Margins - Houston beats Marquette for Title
Bracket VI - KenPom Plus Point Guard Play - Houston beats Marquette for Title
Bracket VII - KenPom Plus Location of Game - Texas beats Purdue for Title
Bracket VIII - KenPom Plus Experience - Xavier beats Memphis for Title
Also a box summarizing each player's strengths can be found by clicking the Bracket in which their team is playing - East, South, Midwest or West - at and the bottom of each team box we list the same numbers as listed below for how many wins the model has them winning under each model.
This model is meant to compare which type of teams win each year - and in recent years the "Experience model" has been the least effective, while point guards and KenPom minus injuries have generally been near the top.
One alternative to pulling up the image of each completed bracket is to review the table below, pick the bracket you want to reference, and type in the name of each team on the number of lines indicated. The better seed in each opening round game is listed first, and either bolded or in a font color.
If you wanted to use this system, you would start with Alabama and if you wanted to start with the first bracket - based on injuries - then you would list Alabama on five lines meaning they would make it to the title game but lose. However, if you used the coaches bracket then they would fall to West Virginia in the second round due o Coach Bob Huggins longer history of deep runs in the NCAA.
