Twitter #MarchMadness bracket
Who do fans on Twitter think will win the tournament? Instead of looking at who generated the most overall conversation, we specifically measured which teams were talked about in the context of winning. So we analyzed how many Tweets used a team-related keyword alongside a “winning” related keyword (from March 13-15, 2016), and then proceeded head-to-head bracket style to arrive at the fan prediction.
As you can see, @UNC_Basketball defeats @KUHoops in the National Championship based on the roar of the crowd on Twitter.
Make sure to Tweet and cheer your favorite #MarchMardness teams and players on all tournament long!
