March Madness kicked off last week, and after two major upsets on the first day only a tiny percentage of brackets remained perfectly intact, according to the NCAA.
The result busted more than half of every bracket, with only48.27 percent of brackets left in perfect condition, according to the NCAA website, which kept track throughout the night.
No. 13 Furman then beat No. 4 seed Virginia in an even tighter match, with Furman winning 68-67 thanks to guard JP Pegues, who shot a three-pointer at the last second to snatch the win from the higher-seeded team.
After the first half of games in the first round, the NCAA tweeted that only787 perfect bracketsremained in the men’s division.
At the time, ESPN had 658 perfect brackets left, CBS Sports had 44, Yahoo had 23 and the Men’s Bracket Challenge Game had 62, per the NCAA.
