• Deadline to submit your bracket is 12:15pm EDT (11:15am CDT) on Thursday, March 15

I would "tweek" it before that just to make sure (let's say 11:10am CDT just to be safe that it goes through).

BRACKETS ARE FROZEN!! Let the MADNESS begin!!

Three MAJOR upsets today!! (and one minor upset)

MAJOR
#15 Norfolk State def. #2 Missouri 86-84
#13 Ohio def. #4 Michigan 65-60
#15 Lehigh def. #2 Duke 75-70

Minor
#11 NC State def. #6 San Diego State 79-65

Called Ohio and NC State. I feel pretty good about those. Too bad I didn't pick the other two.

Is it sad that I have a better score (perfect at the moment) in the Women's Tourney??

Not really, it makes sense - there is a lot less chance of and therefore a lot less upsets in the women's game. Don't really know why that is, but if you pick the higher seed - almost always you will be correct. Besides the obvious -this is the major difference I've always found in the women's game.

My women's bracket score is much better than my mens too, although now I'm moving on up in the men's bracket. The Louisville win over Michigan State really helped me.

Wish I would have signed up for this haha. My bracket on espn is in the top 98 percent. 6 elite 8 teams and 3 final 4 teams left

This year's women's final four only enhances my hypothesis. All four #1 seeds make the final four. I know it doesn't happen often, but the point remains the same - there aren't as many upsets or realistic chances for upsets in the women's game.

It is getting better, but the best kids go to fewer schools in women's basketball and the great kids rarely leave early making for less parity.

It is unusual that the only 16 seed to beat a 1, was in WBB.

Kansas 65 Kentucky 63....JMO
