Your NCAA Tournament bracket is busted. So is mine. Yet there’s someone out there who has correctly picked all 48 games played so far heading into the Sweet 16.
As noted by NCAA.com, a bracket called “Center Road” remains unblemished heading into the final rouands.
The odds of this happening are, putting it mildly, out of this world, per the NCAA: “For reference, if every game were a coin toss, the odds of predicting 48 in a row are 1 in 281,474,976,710,656. So, yeah, this is kinda impressive.”
Though this year’s tourney hasn’t been full of Cinderella’s crashing the ball, the person behind this perfect bracket did correctly predict first-round upsets by Liberty, UC Irvine and Murray State, and that all three would then lose in the second round.
If things continue to unfold the way “Center Road” predicts, then we’ll see a Final Four of Duke, Virginia, Gonzaga, and Kentucky, with Gonzaga taking Kentucky down in the Final.
