Even as I write this, I am watching basketball. This year, I’m loving Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick ‘Em. I’m using them to choose my brackets and it’s awesome.
Choosing brackets will begin on March 13 and it ends on March 17, when the first set of games for the tournament begins. Please SIGN UP BEFORE MARCH 17 to participate in the complete bracket!  You can watch the entire NCAA tournament unfold on your bracket. Now, here is where it gets REALLY cool! Once you make your initial selections and confirm, Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick ‘Em will automatically update each game and show you whether your selections were right or wrong.
The NCAA Basketball Tournament is in full swing and I love it! I know not everyone is a sports person, so here is a breakdown of how the NCAA Basketball Tournament works.
“The NCAA tournament is played over a period of three weeks, usually beginning on the third Thursday in March.Â
Over the first two full days of the tournament, the field of 64 teams is pared to 32. In the next two days, the field is trimmed to 16 — the Sweet 16, as it is often called. These final 16 teams take a four-day break before resuming play on the next Thursday. During the second week of the tournament, the field is trimmed from 16 to four. These teams comprise the tournament’s Final Four.
In the third and final week of the tournament, the teams that survive the mayhem of March and make it to the Final Four battle it out in April for the crown of college basketball.â€
Last year, we were close to watching history in the making. The University of Kentucky Wildcats were undefeated with two games remaining. If the Wildcats had run the table they would have been the eighth NCAA men’s team to finish undefeated, and the first in 39 years. It was not meant to be! No team has ever finished 40-0. The Indiana Hoosiers were the last team to finish with a perfect season in 1976.
Check out my bracket and tell me what you think!
