Some kid has picked every women's game correctly so far
|
From AP:
The only perfect bracket left after the opening weekend of the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments — from more than 40 million entries across all the major contests — was produced not by some college basketball expert or betting guru but an eighth grader from suburban Pittsburgh.
His name is Otto Schellhammer. He is 14 years old.
And despite his perfect-so-far women’s bracket, he admits to knowing nothing about hoops.
“I know people say this a lot about March Madness,” Schellhammer told The Associated Press, sitting beside his mom, Amy, between school and lacrosse practice on Wednesday, “but it was 100% luck. I know basically nothing about any type of basketball."
...
In the ESPN competition, the quest for a perfect men’s bracket ended Sunday night when No. 6 seed Tennessee beat third-seeded Virginia 79-72 in the 44th game of the tournament. (If that hadn’t done it, surely No. 9 seed Iowa’s upset of No. 1 seed and defending national champ Florida later that night would have taken care of anybody else).
