Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- Nearly 36 million March Madness brackets were busted on the first day of the NCAA tournament, leaving only about 14,000 perfect brackets intact after the first 16 games.
- Key upsets included No. 9 seed TCU's narrow win over No. 8 Ohio State, Nebraska's dominant victory over Troy, and No. 12 seed High Point's upset over No. 5 Wisconsin, which drastically reduced the number of flawless brackets.
- Louisville's close win over USF and VCU's historic comeback against UNC further slashed the perfect bracket count to just over 300,000 and then below 14,000 by the end of the day.
- The remaining perfect brackets represent only 0.039
