First Round Bracket Busters Pickem'

[BRS24]

Hey gang, in addition to to all the brackets y'all are filling out, here's a quick fun contest for 10 somewhat randomly picked games. Wait, who am I kidding, some of these aren't so random at all, LOL. Regardless of what you pick in your official brackets, let's have some fun with this one.

There probably won't be a second round pickem', as it's a short turn after the games on Saturday, then to the beginning of the second round on Sunday. I'll probably wait until the Sweet Sixteen (3rd round) and pick more. Well, unless I get wrapped up in MBB, WBB, grandkids soccer and flag football games that weekend ... such is my life. <3

2025 Bracket Busters - First Round

Great idea, but looking at the choices I just can't. There are a few "wish for" but WBB is so darn stratified that I find it difficult to think any of the upsets likely. I'm going to guess that there will be one from the list. On the men's side, with the equivalent, you would be talking more.

Question for clarification. Is it safe to assume the 11 seeds chosen are place holders and not assumptions?

Both? LOL. I guess I made some assumptions on who would win the play in games.

Reminder that the poll will be closed noon-ish on Friday, as i believe the first pickem' game is at 2:30 pm.

Just copy my bracket....and that will be your bracket busters. Mine usually goes fast. I would be better going against my own picks...lol....

Seems he heavily weighed academics and pre-advanced both Ivy Leagues schools.
