How is everyone's bracket doing?
Currently...
There is only 0.03% perfect brackets now...
And the perfect bracket guy on TSN just went bust.

I thought March Madness should get its own thread.
It is the only time of the year that everyone is a basketball fan.

Honestly though...
The tournament is a great TV experience.
There are so many upsets...
And it is a lot of fun.

That's ridiculous.

Actually I'm quite surprised even 6 people predicted some of those upsets would happen.

I am most impressed by the Dayton and North Dakota State picks.
Nothing tells me that these teams will win.

Harvard has a good team this year...
And many say the team is even better than last year...
I know some people either are not high on Duke...
Or simply hates them...
And Stanford is a popular upset pick.

I doubt anyone would make it through in tact by the end of the night though.
For the past 7 years...
Only 1 person stayed perfect through the first round.

I double checked...
I found 11 perfect brackets so far on yahoo.
I believe some of them did not participate in the Billion Dollars challenge.

By the end of the Gonzaga-Oklahoma State game...
My guess is that 4 will be left.
Gonzaga leads by 9 with about three minutes to go.

Edit:
It is a 10 point lead with 2:39 to go.

4 perfect brackets left on yahoo.
3 of them still in the Billion Dollars pool.

I am not sure about CBS.

After the George Washington-Memphis game...
Either 3 will remain...
Or only one will be left.

3 of them picked George Washington...
And Memphis currently leads 26-18.

Edit:
It is 28-22 Memphis now.

Oh...
The guy who has Memphis is not in the official billion dollars pool.
This is going to be interesting.

I am pretty sure there is only 1 perfect bracket left...
But the guy did not participate in the billion dollar challenge.

In other words...
Everyone is out.

I believe the only unofficial perfect bracket is about to bust.
The guy had Stephen F. Austin as his pick...
And his team is losing to VCU by 11...
With 8:54 to go.

Stephen F. Austin pulled through.
The guy is still perfect.
:amazed:

Too bad he didn't play in the billion dollar pool.

Brad's Breathtaking Bracket belongs to a guy call Brad Binder.
He said he did it for the love of the bracket on his twitter account @Brad_Binder_.
He has to be from the future.
He is at 31/31 now.
