🏀🗑 march sadness

if u love ur friends but hate basketball, let the computer do your brack for you.

75 percent of the time it returns the better team as measured by power index ranking. 25 percent of the time it returns the underdog. for teams within 15 spots of one another, it returns whichever team has a color closest to my fave (bright yellow).

use

make sure to pip install colormath and also use python 3.x bc we're usin the input method!

then,

git clone [email protected]:ae680555182bf9d080a980c9b54e0513.git ncaa && cd ncaa

and

python compare_teams.py

enter the matchup separated by commas, i.e. Kansas, Kentucky, and hit enter. (case matters bc i am very lazy.) do this for all matchups. sports are fun!
