Join From the Rumble Seat’s 2017 March Madness Bracket Challenge!

Can you beat my bracket? Do you also follow the Little League World Series as closely as the MLB? Just use your gut.

This one should be the go-to app, and it’s on both iTunes and Google Play. Otherwise, if you’re happy with the end result, don’t think too much into it. Don’t even look at the opponents. When a game is over they will tell you “I had that in my other bracket“. Since the tournament expanded to its current format in 1985, there has never been a 16-1 upset, and there have only been eight 15-2 upsets. But it’s not realistic.

– The previous rule doesn’t mean you should send all of the 1-seeds through to your Final Four; that has only happened one time, in 2008.

Many people like the chances of Kentucky, the No. 2 seed in the South.

Roy Williams hopes to be cutting down some more nets this month after North Carolina earns the top seed in the South.

Even if you know all 68 teams like the back of your hand, here are some tidbits and factoids to take into account.

March Madness has arrived for college basketball fans. Did you also root for the Death Star to kill all those people?

The Jayhawks, who won their 13th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, lost their only Big 12 Tournament game 85-82 to TCU in Kansas City, where they could play again in the Sweet 16 if they win a couple of NCAA Tournament games. The Shockers are the third-best three-point shooting team in the country, while Kentucky struggles with shooting at times. The notion that college basketball is the “superior” product is, well, silly.

Ultimately Max went with Maryland over Duke – “Dukie” – and the Terps topping Louisville in the title game.

(8) Wisconsin Badgers vs. (9) Virginia Tech Hokies, 9:40 p.m. I got backed into a corner and used this tiebreaker to win $30.

“There’s a 22 percent chance Gonzaga meets Saint Mary’s in the Elite 8″, ESPN tweeted. Boom: There’s your answer. The East region, in particular, is absolutely stacked with six teams that deserved a 4-seed or better.

This is not a forecast of who will win each game in the 2017 NCAA tournament. ACC regular-season champion North Carolina fell to Duke 93-83 in the league tournament semifinals. He provides three things the committee got right and three things it got wrong. “Most everybody is going to spend at least an hour filling out their bracket, reading about their favorite team, watching the game”. And I did it under five minutes.
