Tableau Software has taken their new Tableau Public and used it to compile the March Madness data into an interactive combination of a scatter chart and bar graph.
March Madness is here! Like millions of Americans, I sat down today and realized I had no idea who was going to come out on top. Who honestly has time to be an expert on every team that has a chance? I mean, North Iowa? Luckily, stats are readily available from the NCAA and I downloaded the offensive and defensive FG % to make this comparison tool.
See the actual visualization after the break.
My guess is that you and many others, myself included, know who Northern Iowa is now! I knew that they were good when they beat my alma mater, ODU, but I never suspected they were this good! Love the viz. Thanks.
