Are you having trouble filling out your March Madness brackets?
CS professor Sheldon Jacobson spoke with WTOP about strategies for filling out NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament brackets. Jacobson advises beginning with the Elite Eight or Final Four entrants and working back toward the opening round of matches from there.
The CS student-driven BracketOdds website uses data from the past 39 tournaments (1985 through 2024), prior seed match-ups, and winners to design an AI NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament bracket for you. Jacobson started the learning lab behind the website in 2007, and the site launched in 2012.
