Rules

• Picks must be made by 11:55am EST Thursday, March 17
• You must pick the entire bracket - The First Four games don't matter.

  • Your email address will only be used for this contest - I'm a big SPAM hater and I use many techniques to avoid SPAM on this website.

• Tiebreakers -
  • Total Points Championship Game
  • Most in Sweet 16
