KU Buckets Tournament Challenge!
-
I’m in a 3-way tie for 5th after the 3-way tie for 1st.
-
I’m in first for now but my bracket is insane and I’ll probably end up closer to last when it is all said and done lol.
-
I only entered my first bracket on here, I didn’t want to flood the place with brackets!
My best bracket has only AZ and WSU wrong (for now…). I must’ve accidentally picked KSU. It’s still ranked 12,000th on ESPN. There are some really amazing brackets out there!
-
@dylans that’s pretty good, the best I ever did was 2012. I had 6 of 8 elite 8 teams, 3 of 4 FF teams right to go with the title game and NC. I believe I finished in 800s of the millions of brackets on ESPN. I usually fill out 4 brackets, 2 of which for money. I have won one 4 of the past 5 years. I fill everyone out night and day different, last year I won my wife’s pool at work. It had nearly 300 people in it and it was for a gift card
but was free to compete.
-
@dylans et al. if you have better brackets you can still add them to the group; please do! I’d rather see everyone’s best than limiting it to one broken bracket.
-
@approxinfinity Eh, I’ll wait until the sweet sixteen and see if I even care at that point.
-
Didn’t predict Virginia becoming the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 in any of my brackets. Tough way to pick up your third loss.
-
-
I am sure lots of brackets busted.
-
The crash of the bracket- now I can focus on the KU game!
-
No perfect brackets left on ESPN out of 17 million. 4 with 1 loss, 86 with 2.

None of my brackets are going to be worth a crap after Saturday. A couple in the 100th percentile for now though at 280 points. They are currently ranked #1329 on ESPN , #4 on fans of Kansas…, but soon to be in the multi millions.
17,300,000 brackets and none of them perfect after the first round. No one could even predict 32 games correctly. Wow!
-
The line for KU is now -5, up from 4 1/2.
-
• Of the 17.3 million brackets, four have correctly predicted 31 of 32 games … and everyone has at least two right.
• Some 96.6 percent whiffed on UMBC over No. Virginia, but 29.1 percent called No. 11 Syracuse’s upset of No. 6 TCU.
• The teams picked most to win the title now that Virginia (18.5 percent) is out of the way: Villanova (16.3 percent), Duke (9.8 percent), Michigan State (8.6 percent), Kansas (7.9 percent), North Carolina (6.9 percent).
-
ESPN bracket shows only one game scheduled in the Seet 16, next Friday. Looks like Duke and Syracuse will have to get up really early!
-
Must suck for the Hawaii team to travel to all those NCAA games…oh wait.
-
Wow, I have 3 entries and they are tied for 6th! (Thing2 is mine.) Best I have ever done by this stage–usually in the toilet by now!
-
@approxinfinity You wanna hear something crazy? - -I’ve entered ESPN Bracket Challenge like 11 times this year - -well that’s not the crazy thing lol - -But anyways two of my Brackets I’m at a 92.1 % - prediction right - and I am ranked 1,363094- - lmao - -WOW - -and that is with getting 92% right lol -I have a 3rd at a 85.6 % being correct and I’m at 2,486,938 thats just crazy lmao- good thing I’m not betting money lol
-
@jayballer73 I think the percentages are where you stand in the tournament, not your correct picks. 92% means you are in the top 8%.
-
Bell curve does not apply on the ESPN Bracket Challenge. 92.1% = Loser
-
I have lost 5 straight games today. Wow, glad I am not in LV.
-
Lol I appreciate that someone out there had only 2 right the first round. That is someone that should look in the mirror and say “whatever I am thinking I should do the exact opposite” easy fix!
-
@jayballer73 a lot better than me man! All that poking around other teams message boards paid off looks like!
-
@approxinfinity LOL wish it did lol - -I just checked - I have ONE bracket right now that has a 94% accuracy - -guess where that puts me - -sitting in 963,000 position with a - 94% of picks correct - -I give uplol
-
@jayballer73 You didn’t read my last post to you? It is not accuracy, it is the percentile of total brackets. Winner is 100%, last place is 0%.
-
Konate getting T’d up when up 20.
-
What a disappointment for Marshall… This shot at their hated “big brother” in state rivals.
-
@jayballer73 For example, I have missed 18 picks out of the first 48 (counting WVU as correct). That is an accuracy rate of 62.5%, but I have accumulated enough points to be doing better than 76% of the other 17 million. So ESPN has me at 76%.
-
Well here it is – The four regions now:
West - - -you have a 3 , 4 , 7 , & 9. - – - East : - -you have a 1 , 2 , 3 , & 5 - - South : - - - you have a 5 , 7 , 9 & 11 and the Midwest : - - -you have a 1 , 2 , 5, & a 11 - -crazy
-
@jayballer73 And East and Midwest are on the same side of the bracket, so most of the remaining high seeds are in those two. 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, and 11.
The other side has 3 , 4, 5 , 7 , 7 , 9, 9 & 11.
-
Well we got an early game Friday - -6:07- -works for me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Not a good tournament for even numbered seeds. 13 of the 16 are odd numbers.
That said, it has been an odd tournament.
:-p
-
@approxinfinity Want to start a second chance bracket group?
I don’t know about anyone else’s bracket, but mine is sorry. Started really good in the first round, fell apart in the round of 32. It’s gonna get worse too.
-
@dylans Lol you’re in the 96th percentile nationwide! That’s doing great!
-
@Kcmatt7 Thanks. I aspire to be in the top 100 some day. I should quit my job and watch more basketball to make my dreams come true! Lol. I really don’t know how to pick the Sweet Sixteen anyway. ‘Nova looks like the only sure thing, so they probably aren’t.
-
We’ll see what Nova looks like against WV.
-
@dylans good idea. creating separate thread for it.
-
I’ve never even been ranked 27k on ESPN before until this year. 99.9% bracket.
-
@Eric-san nice
-
Anybody else have 3 of 4?
-
@BeddieKU23 It looks like a few people did, but not regular posters. Your’e in the 99.9 percentile right now! Jeeze!
-
I…might have had Nova? Not checking lol.
-
@BeddieKU23 In a contingency bracket I have Virginia winning, I do have 3 of 4… yuck! Only 820 points currently and only KU beating ‘Nova will get me more.
That’s a really nice bracket you have going. The South region completely messed me up in every iteration I put together.
-
Thanks. Watched a lot of CBB this season but its all luck.
I can’t believe 550 brackets have the Final 4 right…
-
I have Michigan vs KU final. KU tie-breaker 78-70. Wouldn’t mind that happening at all!
-
@BeddieKU23 The all revenge tournament. I like it!

I have 3 of 4. I have two entries as Mayjay, and the third is Thing2. Made that one for my group with my brother. 99.4 percentile, and still only in 3rd place! Go Beddie and Eric-san!
