Project 3: NCAA: Which Mascot Wins More? Python/SQL

• For this project I asked the question of: “Does a college basketball team perform better when their mascot is Human or Non-Human in the NCAA basketball Tournament?”
• This report will take the results from every NCAA Tournamnet game since the 1985 season and compare whether teams with Non-Human or Human mascots win more.
• I first came across the data I needed on Kaggle. The link to the original is located here https://www.kaggle.com/ncaa/ncaa-basketball. This provided me with all the data that I needed from 1985 on.
• There is really no background to this question that I am trying to answer other than the simple fact that I am curious of what the outome would be but I have a general hypothesis of what the end results will show.
• Within the report I will build dataframes and SQL databases to map out and show Team Total Wins, Team Wins merged with Mascots Names and finally catagorizing them into human and non-humans.
• We will count data sets to tally totals, graph with bar graphs and histograms as well as use some statistics and pie charts to see the results of our above questions.
