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.

021

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.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 18/03/2025

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.

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

That submission was specifically intended to predict the actions of the Selection Committee. It ended up taking hours of my time -- and I've just reached the point in life where I'd prefer those hours are spent elsewhere. Here's our Bracketology Deserves as we head into Selection Sunday....

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.

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.

010

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

Monster win for Boise State, who set themselves up nicely for an at-large bid. Best just to lock up the auto-bid in the MWC Title Game tomorrow.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 14/03/2025

Good to see North Carolina capitalizing on Duke’s injury situation.

A must-have game for Boise State tipped off just now. Exceptionally close analytical projection in this one: BSU by less than a quarter of a point. #CBSSN

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 13/03/2025

Now Hoosiers wait and see what everybody else does. They will definitely sweat a little bit on Sunday.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 13/03/2025

St. Bonaventure just can't turn the tide. The Bonnies outperformed their season norm vs. 12 of their first 14 D-1 opponents this year. In the 16 games since then? Underperformed the norm in all but four of them. More of the same today, trailing #130 Duquesne by nine at the break.

030

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 13/03/2025

Business picks up today in college basketball. #1 Duke and #2 Houston hit the courts, while the Big 12 brings us two four-star dandies in ISU-BYU and Arizona-Kansas. Lots of other conference tournament action mixed in as well. Here are all your Haslametrics.com forecasts for March 13th, 2025.

Erik Haslam @haslametrics.com · 12/03/2025

Even the NCAA's website had seen enough of this game....

And so ends Virginia's most miserable season in more than a decade.
