There are few things more stressful in my sports fandom than trying to fill out a fresh, clean, NCAA tournament bracket.
I know that a 12 seed is probably going to win their first game… but which one?
And I know that a 10 seed will likely knock off a 7… but again, which one will it be?
For the record I didn’t take a 12 seed, but I did take Arizona State as a #10 to win their first game.
This year I played a lot of hunches, a lot of who’s hot, a lot of gut check picks… and then in the Final Four I started looking at points per game, rebounding, field goal percentage – important shit that makes me feel like I might have made good choices in picking games that are 20 days away.
I will freely admit that I have filled out 2 brackets which some people think is cheating… but, in both brackets I have Florida vs. Michigan in the National Championship Game. And I have the Florida Gators winning the tournament in both places.
If you’re filling out a bracket… good luck.
And if you’re looking for somewhere to fill out a bracket – get over to the TSN Tournament Challenge.
