Number-One-Seeds-e1457950133614March has arrived, and along with that, madness awaits us. Last Sunday the 64 team bracket was released. With games starting this Thursday, everyone is rushing to get their predictions down on their bracket. Who will be the National Champion? Making a bracket is easier than ever. You don’t need to know anything about basketball in order to participate. If you’re looking to make a bracket and compete against your friends you can download the Tournament Challenge app from the app store. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join my group on Tournament Challenge, the group name is Terps12345 and there is no password. I will not give away any of my picks but I will reveal some helpful hints to making your bracket; 1. a number one seed has not come out of the East Region in 7 straight years, 2. Picking a Cinderella? Only three double-digit seeds have reached the final four and all three were 11 seeds, 3. Pick an upset between a 12 and 5 seed, all four #5 seeds have advanced to the round of 32 just three times since 1985. Time is running out. Don’t miss out on the best three weeks of the year!
