March Madness: Seed Success
My First Personal Project:
This project looks into total wins and final four appearances teams have based on their seed during the NCAA’s March Madness Tournament. I started this project on March 17, 2022, during the first round of the 2022 March Madness Tournament, where I began aggregating and cleaning March Madness data for analysis, and creating visualizations for a presentation. The video linked was recorded March 21, 2022, after the second round of the tournament. Once the Final Four was complete, I went back to the presentation for final analyses and to add recommended action steps for filling out a bracket.
The reason for completing the initial analyses and video recording as quickly as I did, was so that there was less bias in the insights and results I would come to in my analysis. Once the Final Four was decided, I could go back to my presentation and add new insights to my conclusions. All added sections to the presentation are in white instead of the original red theme. Enjoy!

Video: This video presentation, created prior to 2022 Final Four results, was made to showcase my data storytelling skills and act as a prediction for what we may see in the 2022 March Madness Tournament.
Presentation Link: Below is a link to my final Google Slides presentation, which includes updates since creating the video and has recommendations for filling out future brackets.
