Less than 1% of perfect brackets remain after Thursday’s NCAA Tournament action

Every year, college basketball fans await for Selection Sunday so they can start filling out the ‘perfect bracket’ before the start of the NCAA Tournament. Everybody has their own way to make their predictions. Many fans will do hours of research, while other fans will simply make picks off the mascot.
Whatever method fans use for their brackets, they are all looking to get that perfect bracket. After Day 1 though, very few brackets across the country remain perfect, as just 0.04% of the brackets went 16-0 on Thursday.
Two of the biggest upsets on Thursday were High Point beating Wisconsin, while VCU came back from a 19-point deficit to knock off North Carolina. For much of the matchup between Duke and Siena, we were on the verge of one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history. However, the Blue Devils overcame a double-digit deficit to come back and win.
Friday has more storylines as we get another 16 games. For much of the year, Miami (OH) has been the darling of the college basketball world. The RedHawks picked up a huge win against SMU, and will go up against Tennessee in an intriguing day.
With the chaos of yesterday, we could be down to zero perfect brackets remaining early on Friday.
