KY is going to get most of the calls in OT. The NCAA has fulfilled their drama factor

Is there nothing better than seeing Calipari turned into calamari?

I've been making the case for years that I should fill out the bracket when the tourney is over and have a perfect record.
I just finished my bracket for 1985. I have Villanova winning it all. Call me crazy, but I have a hunch....

I always have my Calculus and Stat classes do a bracket just for class bragging rights and because most of those kids like analytics and creating methods to pick games. In 2011, a young lady who knew nothing about basketball won by virtue of having Butler and Uconn getting to the final four because their team colors were navy blue. Yesterday one young lady picked St Peters, her reason, it's the name of the church she goes to.

My wife also picked the 'cocks' as I called them, but thats because she is a jersey girl and she always picks all of the New Jersey teams

My daughter told me she had to fill out a bracket in one of her classes. She was the only one in her class to pick St, Peter’s and was mocked by everybody (to be expected in Kentucky). Her reasons that she told the class? First, they’re Catholic. Second, they’re from New Jersey like her father. Lastly but most importantly, she hates cats. Good chance she wins her class bracket on that pick alone.

My wife had rutgers winning the play in and 2 games, seton hall 2 or 3 wins and st peters winning 2. I think if Rowan was in the tournament she would pick them to win as well..

She is a PSU grad and her part of Jersey is not far from Philly so she also picks those teams in brackets. Heavy east coast/BIG bias for her, she has Nova winning it.

I have GLOV's favorites, the Dukies, winning in Coach K's farewell tour since they lost in the ACC tourney.

I can barely remember my bracket except for my Kentucky-Iowa final. I’m just waiting for Tom to say something along the lines of “And, coming in 115th of 123 in this tournament, LionJim!”

Kentucky totally wrecked one of my brackets- I had them winning the whole thing.

Good thing I always do more than one...

I absolutely refuse to do multiple brackets. If I did, Tom would be saying, “And, coming in 115th, 118th, and 122nd of 123 in this tournament…”

My mens baseball team does a bracket fundraiser and the last place person gets 10% of the pot. After the team share, we go with 70% winner, 20% 2nd and 10% for the last place. Many people do a second or third bracket with the four 16 seeds winning out to try and get last place which is generally around $100
