How many perfect 2018 March Madness brackets remain?
After Day 1 of the NCAA Tournament which included major upsets of teams like the Miami Hurricanes and Arizona Wildcats, a majority of people across the challenge saw their brackets busted as we approach the Round of 32.
On Friday morning, ESPN released the numbers from their Bracket Challenge which show less than one percent of participants have a perfect bracket intact.
According to ESPN, just 6,306 brackets remain out of the 17.3 million that were submitted.
That means just 16 games into the Big Dance that only 0.036 percent of the submitted brackets remain perfect.
Ouch.
An updated look at the March Madness bracket can be seen below.
