The Perfect Bracket? Joe Giglio tries again to pick the NCAA tournament | News & Observer

Gotcha!

You thought “Perfect Bracket” meant picking all of the winners? Ha! Sure, that’s the traditional, accepted definition of “perfect.”

Mine? Picking all of the losers. N.C. State, UNC, Xavier. Check. Michigan State (again? You’re dead to me, Sparty). Check. Virginia. Double check for being the first No. 1 seed to ever lose to a No. 16 seed.

My picks were bad. Really bad. Mea culpa.
