March Madness Brackets
SWHS junior, Sam Czaja, getting ready to fill out his March Madness bracket.

March Madness is a college basketball tournament that takes the best 64 teams in the country and throws those teams in a single elimination style tournament. This is a perfect storm for the most entertaining and unpredictable parts of the tournament, the upsets.
Every year, people try to predict all the games and make the perfect bracket. Some gamble money on their brackets, thousands of dollars, while others make brackets for fun or to compete with their friends.
No one has ever completed the ultimate fan challenge, the perfect bracket. Billions of brackets have been filled out, BILLIONS, but none have ever been perfect.
“I make multiple brackets every year and have never been close to perfect,” said junior Ryan Fischer.
