You are probably asking yourself why I have annoyed you with all those NCAA Tournament trivia questions for the past few weeks. It was a bit of guerilla marketing. Now you can answer all of those questions and more.

I have teamed up with someone who goes by the well-earned moniker of Wrestling.Guru and an Intermat poster called grogs84 to provide a unique source of wrestling data.

Some is raw data. How about all 39,000+ NCAA tournament matches in a single, searchable data base? You like that? What if we added in all of the individual and team scoring? Pretty good, right. Well what if we did it two ways: same as in the day and normalized using today's ruleset? I know. Pretty cool.


And what if the Guru went to the trouble of aggregating everyone's tournament records by year and then included their hometown, high school, and HS graduation year? I bet you would like that.


And then what if some know-it-all wannabe started messing with the data? Maybe something interesting would come from that, right? No? OK, whatever, suit yourself.


Maybe go check it out anyway.

And if you have any burning questions about NCAA data or need to settle a bar bet, shoot me an email at [email protected] and we will see what we can do.

My first post is a little background on the project


My second post attempts to answer the question, are 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th year guys worth it?

Excellent work.

There used to be a great website that had all the NCAA Brackets and quick look at placers per year that was pretty easy to navigate, pictures of the Champs together, etc.

But I don't remember what it was called and lost the bookmark awhile back.

Anyone recall what that one was called, have a Link, etc. ?

The late, great Jay Hammonds did all the heavy lifting to make that site. We have found and corrected a few small errors that are contained there.
