The 5 championship games that were played today have been updated to the 2021 Schedule file for the statistician / data scientists / analysts out there who want the complete data to do their analysis on.

But lets face it – many of us are going to go to the major media sites like ESPN or CBS Sports, read all the information the pundits have to say about the games, and then pick emotionally based on our favorite teams.

It is totally OK if you don’t have countless hours to look over box score after box score, or don’t have cool programs set up to build models to predict the games, the Lunatic still has your back.

The 2021 Cheat Sheet is available – it takes the teams side by side and summarizes records, NET and RPI rankings, scoring statistics, and looks at each team’s schedule. So, you don’t have to build a model – you basically have a one page per game overview to help you make a decision.

Just realize that on some of the statistics (such as Offense Rating or Adj Scoring Margin), that my code calculates that from the data I have collected. Those statistics are not official NCAA statistics – they are my calculation of the metric.

Enjoy the cheat sheet!
