9 quintillion.

That's the actual number.
9,000,000,000,000,000,000

A perfect bracket will never happen.

[ouboomer]

Harvard makes up for my terrible colorado pick....

 

[Zimwillett]

OK. That's enough "madness" in Spokane. We have our obligatory 12 over a 5. Now chalk!

 

[NickZepp]

Albany can't miss right now. No way this holds up.

of course that assumes that every event in the tourney is random ..

Or six.

Or six.

Math is hard for some people.

I was about to ask if Delaware has a chance against MSU. If Delaware was matched up against some of the other 4/5 seeds, I might have picked them. They shoot the three well, or can shoot it well. And it's not just one guy. But MSU's defense should be enough at the end.

I may call him names like Gotdweeb or Got-weed ... but I still like Dougie calling games. He makes good nod-your-head statements that aren't always intuitively obvious. I like to learn something about the teams when I watch a game and Gotdweeb seems to bolster that.

Sorry went by what a stupid commentator said since I didn't see the score.

Still a lot closer than anyone would think.

He's one of the best in the business. Really sharp basketball mind.
