Pumps and March Madness

What do pumps and March Madness have in common?? Well not much actually. And while Delta's expertise still remains in electric motors and pumps... we took some time, did the research, discussed it over lunch breaks, and finally settled on our bracket for 2014. Here are Delta's picks for 2014:

Delta 2014 March Madness Bracket

Some key macthups:

Providence vs. UNC. With a two game losing streak, the Tar Heels inconsistent play as of late could be exposed greatly by a PC team that is coming off a Big East Championship.

Baylor vs. Creighton. Assuming both Baylor and Creighton advance past their first round opponents, this match up is sure to be interesting. While Creighton's Doug McDermott averaged 26.9 ppg as the nation's top scorer, the lack of size in the intereior will be a tough mattchup against a bigger, more physical Baylor team. 

Five Thirty Eight Sports

One tool we used to help in our research was Five Thirty Eight. To understand how this model works, "FiveThirtyEight's NCAA tournament forecasting model calculates the chance of each team reaching each round, taking into account a composite of power rankings, preseason rankings, the team's placement on the NCAA's 68-team S Curve, player injuries and geography."
