Purdue has gone #AnalyticallyFinal on McNeese at the 5:46 mark, leading 71-47.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 22/03/2025

It took Purdue less than seven minutes to score 20 points vs. McNeese. It took Clemson 25-1/2 minutes.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 22/03/2025

Per our analytics, Michigan State still hasn't had a negatively rated performance since February 11th, a four-point home loss to Indiana. They have now outperformed their season norm in a whopping 10 straight games. An interesting contrast vs. the first dozen or so games of their season.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 22/03/2025

North Carolina's win over SDSU on Tuesday earned the Tar Heels a huge +56.1 game efficiency score, the team's highest all season. It was also UNC's best-rated defensive performance of the year and their third-best offensive performance of the year. UNC is now #3 nationally in our Momentum metric.

If you're looking for a sneaky pick between seeds 12 and 16, it's sometimes a decent idea to see how they performed vs. legit competition this season. In this thread, we'll show the margin of victory/defeat for each team seeded between 12 and 16 when facing a team in our top-100.

Here's the updated "10/35 Rule" graphic from Haslametrics.com. Through the games of Selection Sunday, the eventual National Champion was top-10 in offensive efficiency and top-35 in defensive efficiency every season since our website was founded in 2014-15.

The final set of home-brewed Bracketology Deserves this season. A reminder that the Deserves are uniquely based on a blanket algorithm and utilize criteria similar to the Selection Committee's -- except that all the metrics used are sourced from Haslametrics.com.

Wisconsin-Michigan is a mason's convention.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 16/03/2025

No standard predicting-the-Committee bracketology for me anymore. I've decided to retire. I just don't have the time or the desire to do it anymore. The Bracketology Deserves -- a blanket algorithm dependent on my own metrics, not the Committee's -- will live on.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 16/03/2025

Selection Sunday. Not much needs to be said. Five games, five auto-bids remaining, with George Mason and UAB looking to make the bubble teams even more nervous. Here are your Haslametrics.com analytical projections for Sunday, March 16th, 2025.

030

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 16/03/2025

UC San Diego has gone #AnalyticallyFinal on UC Irvine and will earn the Big West's auto-bid.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 16/03/2025

Colorado State crosses the #AnalyticallyFinal threshold vs. Boise State, leading 63-40 at the 5:08 mark. Potential bid stealer. Really depends on what happens to Boise State now.

232

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 15/03/2025

Florida goes #AnalyticallyFinal on Alabama at the 5:58 mark, leading 93-69. That will likely sew up a one-seed in the NCAAT for the Gators.

020

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 15/03/2025

It will be four games in four days for the Badgers again this year. It didn't work out well for them last year, but this is flat-out a better team with a better seed. Need to deliver the pain to Michigan or Maryland tomorrow and confidently walk into the big dance with all of the momentum.

010

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 15/03/2025

Illinois's awful performance yesterday vs. Maryland earned them their lowest game efficiency score of the entire season -- a -55.4. Very difficult to know which Illinois you're going to get on any given day. The Illini are 358th in our Consistency metric and 352nd in our Results Consistency metric.

030

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 15/03/2025

Wisconsin is looking to ride their success from yesterday into another win in the Big Ten Semis vs. Michigan State. The Badgers earned a +39.2 game efficiency rating vs. UCLA in a quarterfinal matchup yesterday. That's the highest score Wisconsin has received all season.

011

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 15/03/2025

Some more big matchups today as we really narrow down the field in these conference tourneys. A dozen auto-bids are handed out today, not to mention the awesome SEC doubleheader of Auburn-Tennessee & Florida-Alabama. Good stuff. Here are the Haslametrics.com forecasts for Saturday, March 15th, 2025.
