Easy way to select your bracket- march madness

         


          Hi, I am here to tell you an easier way to fill out your March Madness Bracket. For those of you who do not know, March Madness is the Division 1 NCAA Basketball tournament and arguably the most exiting sports tournament there is.  For an example here is my bracket. Millions of people fill out brackets on ESPN's sight, and often times, people will put money on filling out a bracket.  I am here to raise your chances on winning your bracket pool.
          First of all, your should take the seeds very seriously. Teams are ranked 1-16 and the higher seed will most likely win.  They are ranked higher for a reason.  At least two number one seeds almost always make the final four in the tournament so you should have them in there. I usually have at least three, and either a number 2 or number 3 seed.
           Calling the upsets in the tournament is what is going to make you the money.  Watch the final few months of the season.  Which ever team has been winning lately will use their momentum into the tournament. In college basketball, momentum is everything.  Lower ranking teams on winning streaks have a better chance in getting the upset.   Also teams in better conferences have more of a chance to win.  If a team plays better teams during the season and is ranked 2-3 lower than their opponent, I would go with them.
          Lastly, and most importantly in my opinion is a winning program.  This is how I base the majority of my bracket.  If the program has made a deep run in the tournament before, they will know the atmosphere.  A team that has never been there will most likely crack under pressure.  There is nothing scarier than shooting free-throws in front of thousands of drunk college fans.  This year, Gonzaga was ranked number one, but got knocked out second round because they were not used to being there.  Ohio State on the other hand, is number 2 but is used to making deep runs, which is why I have them winning it all.
       I hope this blog helped you out.  Good luck with your bracket and March Madness.
