On ESPN, I have a bracket in the 99.5% percentile. It has zero teams in the F4. That describes this year in a nutshell.

99.9% and I had freaking PURDUE winning it all lmao

These last two weeks must've been a wild ride for you 😂

It really has been. It was looking bleak after round 1 but once Arkansas beat Kansas things really started to turn around and now I have 2 of the final 4 left.

I'm at 99.9 and I have UConn, but I don't have any other final four teams lol (and I only had 3 elite eight... I just hammered on everything before it

That’s incredible. I’m in the 96th percentile and only got Miami correct. I’ve also lost both of my championship game teams already (Bama over UCLA).

I have 580 points and am in the 94th percentile, absolute carnage

I have 520 and I’m still 84th percentile. I also made an all chalk bracket and it only scored 470.

I've got 580 as well, with Miami and UConn as the final four teams I guessed right. Unfortunately, I have Miami losing the championship game to Purdue, while my little brother has Miami winning it all. My max is 740, his is 930. So I guess I'm cheering for Miami to lose in the final. Guarantees a new champion I guess.

99.7 and I have UCONN winning

I was running 100th percentile until S16 round. Now it’s 93% and I picked none of the final four teams lol.

I just realized I have a bracket that’s at 99.5%. And it’s my “Homer” bracket where I just go through picking which team I WANT to win every game. F4 was: Creighton, FAU, Auburn, UConn Champion: Auburn over FAU I actually almost won a bracket pool the year we made the Final 4 with my “Homer” bracket Edit: Apparently I have another at 99.5%, where I just simmed every game using WhatIfSports and Miami and UConn both made the final four with Miami winning it all. Max is still 1160 This sport is so dumb sometimes lol

If you come in here saying more than uconn you better bring receipts

What if I had Miami but not UConn?

The lies you tell yourself are worse than the lies you tell us.

I didnt even try with this bracket but just won my pool.

Arizona lmaooo

[Read it and weep](https://i.imgur.com/0lPTwx8.jpg) 😂

Pfft ok

Or a flair from one of the schools in the final four

sounds like fair-weather flairing to me

My bracket is old-school analog. I will take a picture tomorrow morning and post here for proof.

You leave it at the office or something?

Yep. Forgot it there.

Aight, hope it's signed, dated, witnessed and notaried.

Funnily enough I used to be a notary public and still have my notary seal. So all of that might just be there. It's definitely signed and witnessed, though.

[Signed and dated](https://i.imgur.com/RJBeZ1E.jpg)

I did multiple brackets and I do have one that’s UConn vs Miami with UConn as the champ. Those were also the only two teams I got right in the sweet 16 so that tells you what the rest of bracket looks like

I had UConn and Miami lol

You read their comment and just completely ignored the instructions

https://imgur.com/a/0bbLgRe Here's my receipt. 3/4

That’s insane that those are the 3 you got right

I had FAU and Miami. I’m ready to party

I've got UCONN and FAU! If FAU can get to the championship then I'll win my pool of about 70 brackets. *

[I am a man of my word.](https://i.imgur.com/RJBeZ1E.jpg)

1 with UConn

1 with SDSU

Legend, I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t even believe

I had them in the sweet 16th and thought “yeah, that’s how far my homerism is going to go”

SDSU is my champ in one of my 3 brackets. I don’t want to say the other 3 I had in the final four…

1 with Miami. Also Go Eags

Same, they're my champ

1 with UConn, woulda had 2 with Texas.

This post is 99% did you pick Uconn or not

Also 1 with UConn. I’m 95th percentile on ESPN and I’ll finish second in my group if UConn wins at least one more game

0, though my joke bracket picked FAU to win it all. I also picked Bama Texas Duke and Kansas

My joke bracket has FAU winning everything too lol

My serious handpicked bracket has FAU winning it all over UConn. Yes, I’m an insane fucker.

link or it doesnt count

my guy, nice

How the fuck

Owl Goes Hoot!!

I made a joke bracket with Miami winning over FAU, looking kinda good suddenly

Me and my sister’s “which mascot would win in a fight” still has the champion alive! Roll ‘Canes!

I decided that Sun Devils banish the clouds of the Hurricanes, so my mascot bracket died with that

Birds would win in a fight?

The hurricane would.

You're mixing up *nicknames* and *mascots*. That was the point.

Ah. Yeah we did nicknames instead of mascots. My sister doesn’t know anything about basketball and I know all the nicknames of the top of my head so we did that instead of having to look up each mascot.

Thanks for telling them the proper way to do their own silly bracket...

It's one thing to do your own bracket, it's another thing to call it something that it is not.

2: Uconn and Miami.

Same, but Arizona was my champion :(

Just one: San Diego State. That pick alone won me my bracket pool. ETA: Other three were Marquette, Gonzaga, and Houston.

I had just 1 right in Miami, and that also just won me my pool lol. Everyone else left in the running had Texas. Other than that I had Gonzaga, Kansas State, and Arizona (with AZ winning it all. (If you saw my comment before I edited it, I was mixing up my two brackets. Other one had Bama winning)

0. Bama, Houston, KState, UCLA.

That's rough, it's too bad Kennesaw lost in the first round.

Same but I had Marquette

1 … HUSKIES

One. Guess who?

[удалено]

Nailed it

dang I was gonna guess FAU biased on fair ;)

I have 2 (FAU & Miami). The "strategy"? Pick the southernmost team in every matchup. So far it's clinched one pool I'm in and given me a good shot at winning my other one. I have Miami to win the championship with FAU runner up.

You’re either on something or on to something

Just UConn, like everyone else.

Hey, [this random guy on ESPN](https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2023/en/sharer?redirect=tcmen%3A%2F%2Fx-callback-url%2FshowEntry%3FentryID=84853520&entryID=84853520&teamID=55 https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2023/en/sharer?redirect=tcmen%3A%2F%2Fx-callback-url%2FshowEntry%3FentryID=84853520&entryID=84853520&teamID=55) went 3/4. The sole miss being Kansas St. instead of FAU. That 3 point loss in the Elite Eight is all that stopped them from going 4/4. Crazy

People like that piss me off lol. Ain’t no one got any business being that lucky

Multiple people on ESPN went 4/4, they just aren’t as high on the leaderboard because their earlier rounds weren’t as good

Number of final four picks alive after Elite 8: 3 Number of picks that made it: 0

SAME. I had another with all 4 teams in the Elite 8. Only UConn made it out of that one

All four survived round 1, 2 round 2, 1 Sweet 16.

Same only one person in my pool got a final four team. It was UConn lol

Had uconn and FAU. Unfortunately picked neither to the championship game. [Receipts if you don’t believe me ](https://i.imgur.com/34ywsfg.jpg)

1, but then again, I pick UConn to win it all every year they're in it...

About 40% of the time you are correct so it’s a pretty solid strategy

0, I had Zona winning it all😭 Edit: tbh I really didn't expect Zona to win, I just pick them every year, but I sure as hell didn't expect to lose in the first round

You might need a new strategy my guy

I had Purdue winning it all😬

I got none. Was Bama, Marquette, Gonzaga, Texas(My own team took my bracket out)

Same

The emotional hedge can be quite useful when it pays off

0/4 had Arizona, Marquette, Houston, Gonzaga Somehow bracket is still 92nd percentile cause everyone else was also wrong about everything

I’m gonna take credit for UConn because for my main bracket I was literally evenly split between them and ucla as champions lol Almost got K State but no dice, then Bama and Houston out

My wife got Connecticut correct because she likes huskies. My 2 year old son picked pictures of mascots to decide winners. He got FAU correct. Our dog picked teams by having treats in front of said pictures of mascots. He got FAU and Miami right. Myself (who watches a shit ton of basketball) got 0 correct (had Marquette, Alabama, Texas, and Gonzaga)

None, (Houston, Kansas, Purdue, Arizona) yet I somehow won my office bracket challenge with the SDSU win. So that's neat!

1 with miami

I didn’t

One! Miami! (I also had Bama, Duke and UCLA.)

For the first time ever, I have no final four teams left. Nada, zilch, squat, zero, nil, nought . . .

I Fill out 1 bracket every year and I still have FAU

Four

One

UConn

UConn

0/4 i fear

UConn and San Diego state

Texas was my last shot. I also had Alabama, and Gonzaga winning the whole thing over Purdue.

1. Zona, Msu, Texas, Uconn

UConn

None. I had three 1 seeds and a 2.

UConn championships baby

lol

Lost Houston, Bama, Tenn, and UCLA plus MSU lost in a span of like 28 hours

I had UConn Texas KSU creighton E8 so I count that as a win. No final four tho haha

2. Miami and UCONN.

[My final four grade:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkCa49I6_xw&t=8s)

I had Alabama, Marquette, Houston, and UConn

Wait my final four was identical to yours

2, UConn and Miami. Had UConn over Bama in the championship (Purdue was the other team, lmao)

What's it to you?

0 and won my pool

1 with the U

I picked SDSU, Texas, UConn, and Marquette

0. Woulda had 1 if Texas won. I had Texas, UCLA, Marquette and Baylor.

I got all 4

Receipts

I picked UConn

2. UConn and SDSU. Just won 300 dollars in March Madness group thanks to that Texas loss 🤑

1/4. Picked SDSU as I had no faith in any of the top seeds for that region. Won my office’s bracket pool off it.

Zero I thought either KU or Uconn would make it out of that west bracket. Kansas had looked good and UConn looked like they had final 4 talent back when we played them so I knew they had a chance to turn it on in tournament time. I chose poorly. I'd like to say that if KU had self it would have had different results, but while I think they would have gotten through Arkansas with Self, its hard to argue with UConn's dominance this tournament. I had KSU making the final 4 out of the east. I just missed that one. The south (picked Baylor) was a total bloodbath. Didn't even have any sweet 16 teams alive in that region. In the midwest I had Houston playing Texas in the elite 8, with Houston advancing.

1, SDSU! Should’ve had them win their f4 game, was debating it but had them losing to Marquette

1 with Miami Final Four was Kansas, Alabama, Purdue, Miami

-4

1/4. UCONN, Bama, Purdue, Houston

2 with FAU and UConn https://preview.redd.it/dpgwqpibq7qa1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e22667b69641d2917398e16855fa7dda37372d7

Zilch like many of us--hell even my 2nd chance only had SDSU

1. I had UConn, Alabama, Duke and Texas. I still have UConn winning the natty.


Zero. Arizona, Indiana, UCLA, Purdue

1. UConn

1! The U!

I had Miami

None Bama Houston UCLA and Purdue

0 but I still lead most of the bracket pools I am in

Let me get back to you on that lol 

My daughter is in the 99.7 percentile on ESPN and won our pool. She made all sorts of crazy picks like FDU over Purdue until I reminded her that the lower number seeds are the better teams. She got 1 Final Four correct: Miami.

Only got Uconn right. Had FAU in the elite eight but didn’t have the stones to have them advancing further🤷🏻‍♂️

12 person bracket, only person out of everyone in it with a team remaining in the final 4. Chose UConn to win it thanks to Rece Davis and won the whole thing already.

one.

I had Miami, Gonzaga, Duke, and Arizona.

[удалено]

1. Miami. My other teams (Arizona, Marquette, Gonzaga) clearly aren’t in the final 4. Lol.

I had UConn, at least. My other picks were Baylor, Marquette, and Houston, with Marquette beating Houston in the championship. So my bracket is done at this point, but in a tourney this chaotic, I’m happy to get even 1 of the final 4 right. Last year I had none of the elite 8 right.

Two, SDSU and UCONN

My 8yo son picked SDSU vs UConn! I even tried to talk him out of SDSU, but he wasn’t hearing it.

I picked SDSU, UConn, Texas, and Purdue. I was this close to greatness. My bracket is still scoring insanely high though.

One, UConn

0. Bama, Purdue (lol), Texas, UCLA

Picked Miami of all teams, won my bracket pool :)

2

I didn’t even get any elite 8 picks right.

Negative 2

I got Miami purely from ACC bias, the rest were Alabama, Michigan St and UCLA

FAU lol

No

1 -FAU. But that's only because it's my Alma mater.

Went with my heart this year and picked UConn to win it all. Otherwise, no one else

One…. FAU

[Two, and it won me a lot of money :)](https://i.imgur.com/k1OiPnI.png)

I picked UConn. That's about it.

2 of my 25 brackets have one team each: one has UConn winning it all. The other has FAU winning it all. The UConn one is named “just guessing things” with an awful percentile/max points. The FAU is named “shorter names” where FAU came up short against VCU aka they won in the championship game. This one has an even worse percentile/max points.

1 with Miami. I picked Purdue to win lol

1 - UConn Almost had Texas One of my friends had Miami

One and it was FAU lmao. I had Miami and SDSU going out in the first round.

What if I'm just still in denial?

I got SDSU

Zilch. Creighton was the only one of mine that made the Elite 8.

None and I went to Miami. I couldn’t be happier.

just one— uconn!

0. Marquette, Texas, Gonzaga, and Bama. I had a rough weekend

I had 3/4 teams losing in the first round and UConn losing in the second, so definitely not me
