[Checker on a Checker]

Alright so I am sick and tired of seeing Joe Lunardi every day on ESPN and everyone bowing down to him. How hard is it to make a bracket?

So I figured I'd give it a shot. I'll update it on Sunday afternoon to see how I do compared to him and what the committee eventually decides.

Note: Teams in CAPS have won the automatic bid by winning their conference tournaments.

Excellent work, Checker! Best of luck too... hopefully it will be as accurate as what the selection committee decides.

I was chuckling at the "(Phoenix)" next to the West bracket scenario.

but that's where it is, actually. Good times.

If Lunardi is more accurate than you, will you give him props?

Missed out on 2 teams, Cal and Iona instead of Washington and Drexel.

Lunardi apparently missed 1! Great job by him

That's still a great job out of you. Well done, Checkah.
