Can't complain. Got 2 wrong so far and 1 was a surprise upset almost everyone missed. Carry on.

Just wait. I'm sure we'll swap places before long.

Those are some rookie numbers, you gotta pump them up. I’m rocking a 336.

Well this is the first year I can honestly say I didn’t even watch 1 half of a college basketball game and it’s paying off.

I guess the secret to life is being drunk, fat, and stupid.

 

[Dave N]

Missed another one. Kiss 4th place goodbye.

I'm now in 256th place... My dog could have picked better teams to win! In fact, I may try that next year!

We’re going to be neck and neck through this! You’ve got a strong Final 4.

 

[MR. ELITE RUNNER]

Took a pretty big hit so far. Missouri was slated to be in my final 4.

I had Clemson as my final four dark horse.

We'll see what happens. I've never watched a minute of basketball in my life.

I see your stats are from ESPN brackets.
Need a brain to assist my confusion with Yahoo bracket "math".

• Title notes 11 unscathed brackets after the first round.
• First paragraph notes 30 perfect brackets.

How does that "mathematically calculate as "0%... remain perfect"?



Mathematically, 0% of entries in Yahoo Sport's Men's Bracket Mayhem remain perfect. In numerical terms, 30 perfect brackets left after the completion of the first round.

That's 32 out of 32 games picked correctly.

And that's despite fewer upsets than normal. The biggest surprise of Saturday's slate was No. 12 Colorado St. upsetting No. 5 Memphis, which dwindled the number from 0.1% to 0%.

That result followed a pair of upsets on Thursday — No. 12 McNeese over No. 5 Clemson and No. 11 Drake knocking off No. 6 Missouri — that eliminated the lion's share of the perfect brackets.

A few more surprising results took care of most of the rest, No. 10 Arkansas over No. 7 Kansas on Thursday, and both Ole Miss over North Carolina and No. 10 New Mexico over No. 7 Marquette on Friday.

By Friday morning, just .1% remained perfect ... until Colorado State.

Duke is the overwhelming favorite among users, with 31% picking the Blue Devils to win it all, followed by Florida (21.5), Auburn (10.3) and Houston (8.9). The most popular non-No. 1 seed is No. 2 St. John's, with 4.7% picking the Johnnies.

I’m with @Dave N …mine will likely implode in spectacular fashion here pretty soon.
