Will definitely join once I make a bracket. Hopefully the NCAA Tournament will help get my mind off the Rangers for awhile.

This is the earliest I have started being terrorized by my bracket. I always at least wait until Madness Monday, not this year.

Had Ohio State going to the Elite 8, oof. Awesome ending to that game though. Gotta feel bad for Craft, that might be the end of his basketball career. Can't see him making much of an impact in the pros.

Yeah, Syracuse will have a pretty easy path in the bottom half of that region now. Kansas is a question mark with Embiid's status up in the air. Don't look past Dayton though

This may be the worst I've ever done. The shame....

Never done one of these. Out of curiosity, how frequent are major upsets? Because it seems to me like it's almost always the case that one of the top seeds ends up winning the tournament. Perhaps I'm mis-remembering.

I suppose basketball is a sport that's less conducive to upsets in general.

Major upsets don't happen often in the championship. The winner has been a 1, 2, or 3 seed in pretty much every tournament I can remember. However major upsets happen often in the first few rounds (#14 Mercer beat #3 Duke today) and in recent years, we've seen some pretty low seeded teams make the Final Four. Wichita State last year made the Final Four with a #9 seed, and a few years before that I believe VCU made it as an #11 as did George Mason.
