There's 6 of us in that bracket separated by 5 points so far, and we're all picking like half the games right.

Gonzaga will make or break me tonight. I figured this was finally their year to go all the way.

That was a pretty epic second half by Grant Nelson. That game turned when Bacot rimmed a dunk and Alabama came down the floor and hit a three. Instead of a 7 point lead it was only 3 and spurred a 12-2 run.

Marquette is awful so far tonight. They need to stop shooting threes because they aren't falling tonight.

Looks like it should be a tight one. I like what I see so far.

Edit: disappointing second half.

Edey got 40 of Perdue’s 72 points today. Only 5 players on that team put up points. I guess when the big man is that dominant it’s not the end of the world.

NC State hot enough to keep it going to the final 4. UConn, Purdue survive as 1 seeds. Alabama as a 4 seed, and one 11 seed in NC State going to get through.

Duke fans were laughing when Tar Heels lost, end up losing to an NC team anyway.

Makes me SO happy as a former resident of that beautiful state.

Living where i was, you are a Tar heel or a Blue Devil or an occasional Clemson fan. I never liked any of them for whatever reason.

I have a bracket on ESPN that I actually took NC St. to win it all....and i have 3 of the 4 final correct.

Im in the 99.8% of all entered. Im in 46,182 place.

22,114,631 entered.

The longest an NCAA bracket has ever stayed perfect

https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball...stayed-perfect

Quote:
The longest (verifiable) streak of correct picks in an NCAA tournament bracket to start the beloved March Madness tournament is 49, a mark that was established in 2019.

An Ohio man correctly predicted the entire 2019 NCAA tournament into the Sweet 16, something we've not seen in years of tracking publicly verifiable online March Madness brackets at all major games.
The absurd odds of a perfect NCAA bracket

https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball...-madness-dream

Quote:
As such, the number of possible outcomes for a bracket is 2^63, or 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. That’s 9.2 quintillion. In case you were wondering, one quintillion is one billion billions.

If we treated the odds for each game as a coin flip, that makes the odds of picking all 63 games correctly 1 in 9.2 quintillion. Again, this is not a completely accurate representation of the odds, as any knowledge of the sport or tournament’s history improves your chances of picking games. But it is one of the easiest to quantify, so let’s have some fun with it.

State had no answer for him.

Bama actually giving UConn a heck of a battle thus far, will see if they can pull the upset.

Otherwise it would seem like the best 2 teams really did get through to the championship game.
