Me too

Oh thanks, if you had let me know, I'd still be perfect

I suspect everyone figured it out before me but in case you missed it, check the bottom part of the screen. I only looked at the top for the first couple games which shows the brackets lost and which team was the cause – it was only by accident that I scrolled further down in the show all brackets at risk in upcoming games. Interesting to see

All four higher seeds won, however the 4 lower seeds knocked the perfect brackets down to 1,208,701

Texas Tech - 679,273
Villanova - 114,869
Oklahoma - 787,690

Hmmm, out of the active perfect brackets it looks like ~1,000 picked a team other than UConn. Lotsa luck with that.

Interesting to see that both SC and UCLA losses kill more of the remaining brackets than does Uconn. Doubt that was true at the start, but is true at this point.

But betting against any 1 seed in the round of 64 is crazy - happened just once since the start of NCAA women;s basketball.

 

[Bigboote]

Presumably 651k fewer after UVa took down Georgia. Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming either.

Yup. 17,791 remain.

Men's side is down to two! at the end of day 3. Ohio State loss took out took out 60% and and Wisconsin loss took out another 27%!

Total remaining on the women's side is 1311 at the end of day 2. On the Women's side VT loss took out 30% pretty wild for a 9 seed! and the Georgia loss took out 18%

 

[BRS24]

1,131 as of this morning. Some big numbers for today -

#2 Michigan - 1026
#2 LSU - 1086
#3 Duke - 997
#1 Texas - 1098
#3 TCU - 999

Women already down to 603 even with favorites winning first 2 games. The 4/5 games are usually about 50/50 in terms of brackets as they are in terms of outcome. so I suspect the Maryland loss was responsible for most of 528 blown brackets. In fact if the opening bouncing ball graphic is to be believed, only 67 brackets busted on NCSt loss.

316 left as 287 busted just a minute ago with Ole Miss loss in the other 4/5 match-up.

Men still hanging at 2 perfect, which at best will be 1 by the end of the day as four match-ups are evenly split at 1-1 - but most probably none will be perfect.

 

[fomalhaut]

Only 279 perfect brackets left despite almost complete chalk (9 in regulation, 9 and 10 in overtime). People must be picking lots of underdogs.
