The Worst Bracket: Teen Gets 1st Two Rounds Completely Wrong

Steve Johnson, a teenager from Hoboken, New Jersey is absolutely zero so far in picking the NCAA tournament.

Ohio over Georgetown? He missed it.
Wake Forest over Texas? He missed it
Syracuse over Vermont? He missed it.

The odds of picking the first two rounds completely wrong is one in 13,460,000. Once he missed all of the games in the first round, Steve knew the rest of his bracket was busted. "It's kinda hard to win a game when you don't have the two teams playing" he said. Steve's final four consists of Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Temple, and Notre Dame, all teams that lost in the first round. However, he is hoping to win the tiebreaker as he thinks the final game will have 143 points in it.

East Tennessee State on Bubble for Play-In Game

The basketball players on East Tennessee State say they're not looking at Bracketology or projections, but everyone knows they are. The Buccaneers are on the bubble for the play-in game.

"There is such a fine line between being #63 and #64" said Coach Murry Bartow. "I hope the committee looks at our strength of schedule and our great run to end the season.

East Tennessee State played their last game last week and has been sitting at home all week. However, they did the season on a high note winning their conference title. Unfortunately for them, the other 16 seeds all did as well.

Robert Morr Makes Northeast Final, Thinks 50/50 Chance of Making NCAA Tournament

"I don't care what bracketology says" said Robert Morris Coach Mike Rice. "If we win one more game, I think we have a good chance of making the field."

ESPN's bracketology currently has Quinnipiac getting the automatic bid from the Northeast Conference, with a 16 seed against Syracuse in the first round. Robert Morris is not even on the bubble according to Joe Lunardi. However with a win tonight against Quinnipiac, Robert Morris can win the meaningless conference and drastically boost its resume. With a conference tournament championship, Robert Morris expects its name to be called on Sunday.

"At this point, I think we have a 50/50 chance" said Coach Rice.
