I had a really good first two days. 99th percentile on the NCAA site. 26 out of 32.
Today, I'm struggling.

How's your bracket doing?

I have better luck sitting at a slot machine. I don't even fill out brackets anymore I'm so dam bad at it.
As much as I love March Madness, I usually don't fill out a bracket because I don't take time to even do light research about the teams to make half-way intelligent picks. As a result, I'm usually in deep dookie by Sunday evening of the Second Round. But those I've talked to who did fill out a bracket are all struggling due to the parity among the teams in the tourney and the numerous upsets in the first two rounds.
I have to say that this may be the most enjoyable MM I've seen in a long time for that very reason. It's all about who's playing their best ball right now, not so much about how they played during the season. Get a hot 11 or 12 seed going up against an over-confident or sluggish 3 or 4 seed and you have an upset in the making or a nail-biter at the very least.
I do think KU and Virginia are playing the best right now and are the teams to beat. But it seems like this year, more so than any other season, this tourney is wide open and the right team can make a deep run to get to the Final Four. Should that happen, some brackets are really going to get busted.
Anyway, good luck with your picks!

I was 25 for 32 in first two rounds. As for the remaining 16 I picked all 8 on our side of the bracket and only got half right on the other side. Indiana, Gonzaga, Wisconsin and Syracuse were not my picks.
We're in the only quad where one, two, three and four all made the round of 16. So I suspect a lot of people got it right. I had UNI playing OU. Got pretty close to all four.
And the South only has Maryland replacing California in the Top 4.
It's that Midwest Region that has to be the bracket buster for most.
