1,780 of 11 Million brackets picked UCONN-Kentucky

[Renew Deal]

A total of 1,780 brackets of the 11 million-plus entered in the Tournament Challenge correctly predicted a Connecticut-Kentucky national championship game.

In total, just 2.6 percent of brackets had at least one team in the title game, with 2.1 percent of brackets had Kentucky going this far, while 0.5 percent (49,997 total brackets) had Connecticut playing for the championship.

Overall, 1.1 percent of brackets have Kentucky winning it all, with 0.3 percent (27,203 total brackets) taking Connecticut all the way. Kentucky was by far the most popular 8-seed to win it all (with no other 8-seed getting more than 0.1 percent of support to win it all), while Connecticut was just slightly the most popular 7-seed to take the title (Oregon and Texas were taken in 0.2 percent of brackets).

2. I'll bet 890 of them came from Connecticut

and 890 from, as Grandpa used to call it, "K-Wacky". (He once lived there.)

3. Actually KY surprised me more than UCONN did...I thought UCONN

would go far because of Napier...just like with Kemba Walker 3 years ago...I really didn't see that in KY, and like I said, them getting this farw as more of a surprise for me.
