That was quite a day/night. 16 games. 8 of them decided by a single three pointers or less, 5 by a single point. There were exactly four upsets, the number history predicted. I got two right, (Georgia State over Baylor and Ohio State over VCU. I got two wrong. I had Purdue over Cincinnati and Wofford over Arkansas. Id din't have UAB over Iowa State or UCLA over SMU. Those six games were decided by a total of 10 points. Two 3 seeds, a 6 seed and a 7 seed went down. I only lost one team that was supposed to win in the next round, (SMU) and I had them going no farther.

It was a bumpy, (fun), ride but I'm not in bad shape.

I show you at 13-3. Not sure you need to be held responsible for BYU losing their play-in game. Most people complete their brackets after the play-in games. So I gave you credit for Xavier's victory.

Among the notables you outpaced are:

Mr President, 11-5
Dick Vitale, 11-5
Jay Bilas, 9-7

"Chalk" picks, 12-4
"Popular" picks, also 12-4

With Syracuse not in it this year, the fun is beating "Chalk" and "Popular" picks.

Incidentally, I beat neither of these, stumbling in at 10-6.

I had Purdue over Cincy, Wofford over Arkansas, Iowa State over UAB and SMU over UCLA. I checked with Fab Melo and that's 4. I think.
 
ESPN is reporting that out the 11 million or so brackets filled out on their site, there are 2 that got every selection wrong. I did a little better than that.

OK I fixed it.

You still beat The Pres, Dick and Jay.

So 2 Hampton grads entered the contest!
 
I know as much as Jay Bilas about basketball! Woo hoo!

And I still did better than you. But I'll be humble about it. In March Madness, humility is always just around the corner.
 
12-4 here too. Lost Purdue, Iowa St, SMU, and Wofford.

I think you copied my bracket :)
 
My 6 and 8 y/o bracket was 10-6

No need for humility. I have VCU winning it all. I'll never climb out of that hole.
