I went 12-4. Maryland, Vanderbilt, VCU, and UNC W. No huge losses considering I didn't have any of them past the round of 32 so my bracket is still in good shape.

That is actually a good pick. Villanova could get smashed on the glass against them, but Wisconsin has zero answers for Villanova's guards getting to the cup.

Will be interesting. Plus, Wisconsin shot the best they have all year from the free-throw line tonight in a close win.

Still a good pick to make. It could happen.

I had a friend one year miss picking a perfect bracket by 3 games.

I am not lying. He watched about as much basketball as my daughter.

I only won the bracket once. I had Syracuse when CArmelo was a freshman. Won me some cheese.

Although Villanova team won a National Championship, this Wisconsin team isn't short on experience. Players like Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig were starters / key contributors on multiple Final Four teams. Saturday afternoon will be fun.

I didn't say they couldn't win. I think they have a great chance with their size.

My only losses were Vandy and VCU.

One of my friends, who is like actually a retard, legally, and of course it's this guy, still has a perfect bracket.

Of course he does. We think with logic and reasoning. We overthink and doubt our choices.

The truth is that the madness is because of this very fallacy in picking winners and losers.

Retards don't think like that.

I mean, it's not all that hard to go 16 for 16 on the first day, especially on a day like today where it was basically chalk.

Not sure why you're trying to correlate retardation to good bracket picking.

Lol I wasn't trying to correlate it, he's been talking shite to me all day about it.

this shite just seems to happen every year

ETA: It must be somewhat difficult to go 16-16 on day one since someone mentioned like 7 percent of the brackets are perfect thus far. I wouldn't call that vast success amongst the masses.

FSU looked salty last night. They're fast as hell and have some serious height/length.

That was a fun game to watch.

My new rule of thumb is never picking against Bronson Koenig at anything.
