Brackets were meant to be busted, right?
That’s a No.
15 seed beating a No.
That’s St. Patrick’s Day turning into St. Peter’s Day.
This is the 10th time a No.
15 has ousted a No.
Yes, the thrill of a new Cinderella team going to the ball is still there.

Kentucky spends 12.5x as much on men’s basketball as Saint Peters.
I am almost certain this is the biggest upset by expenditures ratio ever.
And some people just wanted to mourn their brackets.
ESPN reported that out of over 17 million brackets in their tournament challenge, only 743 remain perfect.

You are telling me 743 people picked St Peters over Kentucky?
The fact there are 743@MarchMadnessMBBbrackets still perfect means I now believe Time Travel exists.
Kentucky losing absolutely made my tournament!!
Spiders move on
Saint Peter’s over Kentucky wasn’t the only huge upset of Thursday.
Apparently it was the day of crazy mascots, with both Peacocks and Spiders advancing.
There are about 70 kindergartners out there with perfect brackets.
This is Iowa fandom by definition.
Being a Cubs' fan all my life has prepared me for being a Hawkeye fan all my life.
