About This Quiz

If you're a college basketball fan, you look forward to the March Madness tournament in a big way, and why not? The whole thing is a fantastic sports event. But even if you aren't a huge college basketball fan, you might be a big fan of the tournament, in part because of the March Madness brackets. You might be asked to join one at work, or possibly by one of your friends, but if you even do it once, then you're probably going to be hooked on March Madness.

For those of you not in the know, a March Madness bracket consists of all the teams in the tournament. The goals are for you to pick the winners of each game in each round culminating in the championship game. If you pick the most right, then you win! Some people totally play it safe with their picks and always choose the most successful teams, while others try and pick upsets and choose underdogs that they think will win.
