When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I can understand homer bracket filling it out especially since I did this year, but being knowledgeable enough to get a bracket that's perfect other than Texas A&M is a weird form of positional blindness that 11 million people apparently have.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!

One of two west coast teams playing on Saturday and UCLA gets a 5:40pm tip off while we have to play at 9am. Awful.

Something is hosed up with that graphic because they don’t even mention Arizona, which I guarantee hosed up 95% of the brackets.

Confused me too, I'm imagining that is the percentage of brackets that were perfect except for that one team that screwed everything up for you maybe?

Or maybe it's just messed up, I don't know.

It would be pretty sad to luck into a perfect first-round bracket except you're a Howard alum and it was your homer bracket. You wasted all that good luck!

Everyone who picked Zona to advance past the S16 didn't watch the Pac12 championship game. Zona looked absolutely awful against an undermanned UCLA team. The last 6 minutes of the game UCLA's tallest defender was JJJ at 6'7 and the guards couldn't find a way to get Ballo or Tubelis the ball in the post. I'd be shocked if Tubelis stayed another year, Boswell is their only decent guard and Lloyd still has Kriisa "running" the "offense".

That same UCLA lineup just demolished their 15 seed by 33 pts.

I don't have UCLA going far in any of my brackets but I had UNC Asheville upsetting them in my goon bracket.

UCLA lost their best player and starting center in 2021 and made the final four with the same core (Jacquez/Campbell). If Bona can play the rest of the tournament, they're still a final four quality team without Clark.

To be honest it is very fun to root for some big ten teams getting owned, especially if they are Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, or Michigan State.

Watching Izzo, Fran, or Underwood get humiliated rules.

My least favorite big ten teams are Wisconsin and Michigan, but I'll still root for them over non-Big-Ten teams.

I get that Northwestern fans hate Illinois, but at least in my experience in the two years I attended Illinois, we don't even think about Northwestern enough to hate them.

They didn't force contact or get Princeton into foul trouble or take advantage of the fact that the team doesn't have much offensive firepower, and they didn't come back from being down most of the game, they were instead mostly in control of it and lost it at the end. If they would have played like they played against UCLA they would have won that game like they won like they did against UCLA, a team with a much better defense and a better offense.

Like you're selling UCLA short by comparing them to Princeton.
