March Madness Men's Tournament Individual Game Results

All of the code for the data extraction from Wikipedia comes from danvk/march-madness-data, with fixes from caycehouse/march-madness-data. This would've taken significantly longer without their work, so all credit goes to them.

I couldn't find a source which had each individual March Madness game in a tabular format, so I decided write a script to compile them into CSV files myself, based on the aforementioned repos' work.

I will try to keep the data up to date, but in the event that I forget, you can simply clone the repo, update the years in getpages.sh, and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
./getpages.sh
python generate_data.py

This will automatically populate the data folders with new years.

Quirks

• 2021 had a singular game that was abandoned due to Covid-19 protocol (Oregon vs VCU). The script automatically edits the HTML to give Oregon a score of 1 and VCU a score of 0.
