For this project a metric would be used to predict who was going to win the 2017 March Madness Tournament. The metric consists of a team’s RPI and two stats that have a strong correlation coefficient to how the teams finished in the 2016 tournament. The Rating Percentage Index (RPI)is a ranking system that is used to determine a team 's rank in the tournament and during the regular season. The two stats had to have a moderate correlation to how the last 16 teams in the 2016 tournament finished. Also a scatter plot was used to display two different stats and how they correlated. Once the two stats were determined each part of the metric(RPI and two stats) have to be weighted by percent. For example, a metric can be RPI times 0.3 + stat1 times 0.3 + stat2 time 0.4. Then the metric is to be used with every team in the 2017 tournament. Now on the 2017 bracket the team with the higher number for the metric should win the game. Lastly do this for every game and a winner will be decided.

Without communication, cooperation, and a purpose, failure will happen before even stepping on the court.
