Annual #UCL #UCLdraw round of 16 matchup simulations. One of the weirdest draws I've seen with every Spanish team winning the group and Italian team getting 2nd. Not many matchups that cannot happen, making for a very random draw. What matchups do you want do see?

Surprise! Iโ€™ll be spending the tournament hosting a weekly analytics driven podcast for @DoublePivotPod! All the hot takes but informed by ~ data ~. First episode is extremely not data driven because of the lack of available stats, check it out!

Near the beginning of the season a friend asked me if Ben Simmons would average at least 10 PPG. A well set line that I took the over on. 22 games played into the season let's check in on #BensQuestFor10

Thanks to the overwhelming success of #BensQuestFor10, let's check in on Ben Simmons on a big 12 point night in the win against the Bucks. Look at that line move up @bonedoglegacy!!

The Nets will be without KD for a couple weeks, meaning someone on their team will need to pick up that scoring load. Is that good news for #BensQuestFor10 which has taken a slight downturn recently? With only 1 game with over >= 10 can Ben turn it around?

#UCLdraw #UCL actual draws compared to the simulated probabilities. Lot of really fun matchups this year that will be exciting to watch!
Time for our yearly #UCLdraw simulated outcomes. An interesting year with Club Brugge, PSG, and Real Madrid all having no other teams from their country. Liverpool with some tough potential matches!

๐Ÿงฎ I computed the most likely opponent for each club in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Taking into account that clubs from the same group and same association cannot face each other, my constraint solver produced 3,876 possible draws. โฌ‡๏ธ #UCL #UCLdraw

"Small sample size", "underlaying data", qsQ models, oh my! It has been fun seeing @JezData on the Blazers TV feed... even though it has been just a small sample size (n=2)

Love seeing @SilverWaveMedia recognize @CoachChambers00 and @DrewMuscatell as two impactful coaches in the womens game. They truly are and had a blast getting to see them coach!

I know Iโ€™m biased but itโ€™s impossible not to love what @CoachLegans and Coach Meek are doing for the @PortlandMBB and @PortlandWBB programs right now. Two GREAT coaches creating an infectious culture and style of basketball at a high level.
Great crowd tonight!! Thank you for showing up. #OnToTheNext #ChurroNight #HOMEcoming22 #GOoilots

What movie character role do you replace Danny McBride with but keep the rest of the movie the same? Wrong answers only @letterboxd
The #UCLdraw was not without its drama. See how the actual draws line up with the simulated probabilities. The #Chelsea - #Lile draw shook up teams like Ajax, Real Madrid, and Bayern. #UCL
The #UCL round of 16 is set! Here are the simulated probabilities for who we could see matched up in the knockout round. - With few options to play, who does #Chelsea draw? - Could Messi be going back to #RealMadrid? Who do you want to see in the round of 16?
