@RonEskinder , there's a few issues going on here, which I can summarize as follows: 1) the sportsreference package was renamed sportsipy (see https://github.com/roclark/sportsipy) 2) it looks like at some point sports-reference.com completely redesigned their website (as far as the NCAA MBB portion is concerned), so many of the URLs have changed and the formatting of the data has also completely changed.

I looked into it to see how much it has changed, and unfortunately, it's changed a lot. Fixing the sportsipy package to run any portion of the ncaab predictor would require a complete rewrite.
