2026 ESPN Men's NCAA Tournament Challenge

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I picked randomly. I know nothing about college basketball. Don't even like watching it. Fantasy is fun though.

It's the madness thing.
I figure that if all of those sports bros that follow it all very closely still get their brackets busted early, and nobody has ever had a perfect bracket, random is probably just as good. It has to be less disappointing losing after only spending 3 minutes on a bracket than losing after putting a lot of effort into it.

Last year I somehow wound up in 2nd place. Usually all my picks are gone after round 1 and I am near last.

Howard University, the ones that broadcast HUR Voices, win the first game of this year's NCAA Tournament in the First Four qualifying game.
It was also the school's first ever NCAA Tournament victory. Their reward is they get to play Michigan on Thursday night.

The second game had a great ending! Texas over NC State. 68-66 And the office pool brackets haven't even started yet

Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley announced the game. For Inside March Madness, I miss the guy with the bow tie leading the group

First Four Day 2
Prairie View A&M wins first ever NCAA Tournament game. Prairie View A&M 67 Lehigh 55. Play Florida next

Ernie Johnson is missing for Tournament Central this year.

I wanted to see if Miami Ohio was for real.
Miami Ohio 89 SMU 79. They were exciting high flying 3-point shooters. I think they can give Tennessee all they want on Friday

 

[Madison]

Nebraska wins first ever NCAA Tournament game. Badgers lose in the final minute
Duke in a battle with Siena now.

 

[MonoStereo]

I alllllllllllllllllllllllllmost took that Wisconsin upset. There's almost always at least 1 in the 5-12 matchups.

 

[Madison]

With Wisconsin, Georgia and North Carolina losing in round 1, I read that all the bracket services have less than 1% perfect brackets left

 

[HecticArt]

Am I busted yet?

You are tied for 1st in Wolf's bracket and tied for 2nd in Aaron's bracket

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I am 1st in Aaron's pool both men and women. In the @25k challenge in men i am in 13k place. I am #1 for the women. I used the same bracket for the women as Aaron. I used a different one for the men although I think I am entered twice. I hit the wrong button when entering the men.

Not any more.

There is still a lot of tourney left to go. The madness will move a lot of people up, and a lot of people down before it's all over for the year.

Tonight I was rooting for Nebraska then I realized I picked Vanderbilt, then Nebraska ended up winning right at the end

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

My men's bracket did not do well. I slipped to 424th in the woman's 25K.

 

[Wolf]

I'm doing alright in couple of brackets. I'm 1st in our DRC bracket and in 4th place in my work place bracket.

I didn't signed up for the women's bracket. I have couple more brackets on ESPN.

One of them is a eliminator bracket, similar to DRC NFL Survivor league where you choose a team in every round. I already made my mistake, already choose all the #1 seed teams. If they make the final four, I'm already eliminated. Because I already choose them.

That's sound pretty neat

Iowa knocks off Florida

I think that I'm toast in all 3 of the brackets that I did this year.
