Nearly every bracket has busted.
Through Friday's first round, the number of perfect brackets in
the NCAA Tournament was down to 81 out of 34 million, according
to the NCAA. That's 0.0000002% for those of you keeping track.
ESPN's tracker listed 121 perfect brackets — down from 1,098
early in the day — remaining out of 24 million on its site
following the night slate.
Yahoo Sports' is down a mathematic zero — 30 brackets are still
a perfect 32 for 32. CBS Sports had a similar attrition rate,
down to 0.0008% unblemished brackets by the end of Friday.
More than 85% of Yahoo's brackets had Clemson advancing, but the
Tigers lost to McNeese 69-67. That game knocked out 6.6 million
ESPN brackets, too.
Creighton was listed as ESPN’s top bracket buster after its
89-75 win over Louisville in Thursday's first game, knocking out
13,339,089.
On the other end of the spectrum, ESPN reported that every pick
was wrong on 30 of its brackets — a nearly impossible feat in
its own right even if a contestant were trying to pick all
losers.
