Version II - Simulating NCAA Tournament

[regularfan]

Thanks to all who followed along the first time. I agree with the comments that there were probably too many upsets so I bumped up the favorites winning percentage and am going to run it through again over the next couple of days

For those who missed it. The "tournament" is a combination of the wrestlestat prediction and a random number generator to confirm, increase, or overturn results. But basically the more dominant you are in wrestlestat, the better your chances of winning.

Instead of 5 columns like the first run, I now have 8 and the breakdowns are as follows. We will see if this yields better results. I was shocked by how many matches wrestle stat predicts just a point difference but hopefully the more dominant guys will shine through

1 pt. favorite: 75% chance of winning (was 66%), 60% by decision, 9% major, 1% tf, 5% fall, 18% loss by decision, 2% loss by major, 0% loss by tech, 5% loss by fall

2-3 pt. favorite: 80% chance of winning (was 66%), 63% by decision, 10% by major, 1% by tech, 6% by fall, 17% loss by decision, 0% loss by major, 0% loss by tech, 3% loss by fall

4-5 pt. favorite: 87% chance of winning (was 80%). 63% by decision, 16% by major, 1% by tech fall, 7% by fall, 11% loss by decision, 0% loss by major, 0% loss by tech, 2% loss by fall

6-7 pt. favorite: 93% chance of winning (was 80%), 41% by decision, 40% by major, 4% by tech fall, 8% by fall, 6% loss by decision, 1% loss by fall

8-11 pt. favorite: 95% chance of winning (was 90%), 29% win by decision, 47% win by major, 7% win by tech, 12% win by fall, 4% loss by decision, 1% loss by fall

12-14 pt. favorite: 97% chance of winning (was 90%), 20% win by decision, 33% win by major, 26% win by tech, 18% win by fall, 1% loss by decision, 1% loss by fall

tf favorite: 98% chance of winning (was 96%), 13% by decision, 27% by major, 30% by tech, 28% by fall, 1% loss by decision, 1% loss by fall

fall favorite: 99% chance of winning (was 98%), 9% by decision, 25% by major, 25% by tech, 40% by fall, 1% loss by fall

Preliminaries (through 157)

Down goes Lugo. The 1% hit as the Iowa Hawkeyes take a huge blow in the opening round with their #1 seed getting stuck in the 1/100 chance of that result happening. He was 93% to win the match.

Colaiocco (Penn) losing to Cronin was the big upset at 125. #4 seeds seemed particularly upset prone as both Parker from ISU and Mauller from UVA (although he had a tough draw in Prince) go down. Other notable upsets included: #3 Tucker (Just a 2 pt. favorite), #6 Red (NEB) and #6 Kolodzik (PRIN). Upsets seemed less prone as they should be but when they hit, they hit big names.

Preliminaries (165 lbs. - 285 lbs.)

Iowa will take the team lead into session II but they can't feel great about the opening session as Assad was also upset as 184 is once again volatile. To make matters worse, Assad will also be the underdog in his first consolation as #6 Cameron Caffey was also upset. The #2 seeds going down at 184 and 197 raise some eyebrows. The bottom half of 197 saw 5 of the 8 matchups end in upsets according to the seeds. With a few exceptions, order was mostly restored at HWT with the exception of Trent Hillger falling in his opening match.

Iowa leads 15.5 - 12 heading into session II (which will happen tomorrow). Iowa State (11), Arizona State (10), and Ohio State (10) also had a strong opening session.

I predict Iowa wins this, and with your new method, the margin will be bigger

Consolation Pigtails (all), Round of 16 & Consolation Round 1 (125 lbs. to 157 lbs.)

Iowa has widened its gap as they go 5-0 to start the round. Penn State answers with a 3-0 start as Verkleeran stays alive while Bravo-Young and Nick Lee are into the quarterfinals. 149 lbs. has #17 Colton DiBlasi (GMU), #22 Tanner Smith (CHAT), and #29 Jared Prince (NAVY) all through to the quarters but not many other double digits seeds in that round. #4 Ian Parker is the first top 10 seed out of the tournament as he goes 0-2 at 141 lbs.

Round of 16/Consolation Round 1 (165 lbs. – 285 lbs.)

The team race is just heating up as we head into session III. Penn State went a perfect 7-0 in the round with no victory being bigger than Shakur Rasheed taking down Jacob Warner in the round of 16. However, Iowa put seven into the quarterfinals and has Lugo, Assad, and Warner still alive in the wrestlebacks as they lead Penn State by a 30.5-23 margin. Despite a tough second session, Iowa State sits in third with 18.5 points. Andrew Fogarty handed Shane Griffith has first loss of the season as David McFadden also got upset while Joseph pinned Braunagel of Illinois. Mark Hall is onto the quarterfinals but without bonus as 174 is holding pretty true to form with #10 Mikey Labriola and #12 Joe Smith the only wrestlers not expected to make it there by seed. #22 Dylan Wisman (MIZZ), who knocked off Assad, and #31 Tate Samuelson (WYO) are into the quarterfinals at 184. Kollin Moore and Patrick Brucki are the only top eight seeds remaining in the championship bracket at 197 and they will face each other in the quarterfinals. Heavyweight held pretty true to form with Cassioppi getting a big pin against Traub in the team race. #6 was not a good seed to be in the wrestlebacks as Cameron Caffey and Christian Brunner both saw their NCAA Tournaments came to a close in just two matches.

Quarterfinals/Second Round Consolations (125 lbs. – 157 lbs.)

The big stunner of this early round was Max Murin (a three point underdog and 20% to win) knocking off Nick Lee which will have huge implications on the team race. Kaleb Young was beaten by Deakin and there was not a lot of bonus from the Hawkeyes while Bravo-Young notches an impressive technical fall. Jared Verkleeren stayed alive with a consolation win. Pat Glory and Josh Humphreys both knocked off second-seeded wrestlers while Jared Prince is proving way underseeded as he has been favored in each match and is onto the semifinals and All-American honors. Iowa widens the gap 53-36.5 over fellow in state program Iowa State. Penn State and Ohio State are both tied for third at 31.5. Nittany Lions need a huge response to stay in the race in these upcoming bouts.

Quarterfinals/Second Round Consolations (165 lbs. – 285 lbs.)

HERE COME THE NITTANY LIONS! I don’t think the random number generator takes momentum into effect but it is definitely on Penn State’s side as the team score is now tied at 62 with another round of consolations to come this session. That probably means Iowa will inch ahead but don’t call off the team race yet. Joseph, Hall, Brooks, and Rasheed were all favored and all held into the semifinals. Marinelli and Kemerer both went down in tough quarter upsets while Assad and Warner plugged some holes in the ship before Cassioppi also made it through to the semifinals. Penn State is now the favorite by seeds at 165, 174, and 184 after a crazy second half of the quarterfinals. You do not want to be in the battle zone that is the 197 lb. consolation bracket. Those winners are going to start to hit this consolation round as we put a wrap up session III shortly.

I'd like to see your sims of the BIGs as compared to actual results.

If somebody has an interactive Big 10 bracket I am happy to give it a shot. The time consuming part would be adding up team points as my excel document (thanks HR) does that for me.

Semifinals/Round of 12 (125 lbs. - 157 lbs.)

What a first 10 semifinal matches. The big news is Spencer Lee, just a three-point favorite vs. Mueller, goes down to start the night. DeSanto gets beat and just when the Hawkeye faithful are looking towards next year, Max Murin (just a 5% chance to pin as underdog) sticks Real Woods to continue his remarkable run. Jared Prince has still not been an underdog according to wrestlestat and he makes the finals at 149. Kaleb Young is now out for Iowa as Pat Lugo moves into the All-American matches. Nick Lee pulled out a hard-fought decision against Chad Red. Pat Glory was 97% to win and he gets knocked out in the blood round.

One Cassar away from another championship.

One Cassar away from another championship.

Yeah. There were a couple matches that I think go differently throughout but who knows come NCAA Tournament. I don't think Murin makes the final and Nick Lee does and Cassioppi probably doesn't make the finals. Assad is probably also high. However, Lee, Marinelli, and Kemerer are probably all low. The said thing is, we will never know for sure ...

Rasheed is probably a littler high given what he was but who know ...

Yeah i don't take to much stock in this but it's fun. If Rasheed went this far then psu fans would have to take that as a big win. I couldn't see it. lol wish I could of seen it tho haha
