There may not be a day in the sports world that more people are excited about than Selection Sunday. Whether you are a diehard sports fan or just a casual fan, there is something about filling out a bracket and competing with your friends.
ESPN is known as the bracket capital of the NCAA Tournaments, as there were more than 24 million brackets filled out on the website before the start of games on Thursday.
Every year, people fill out the brackets with the hope of becoming that first person to ever complete the perfect bracket. While there is still a long ways to go, there is 1 remaining person who has a perfect bracket after the Duke win against Baylor.
ESPN confirmed that news on Sunday afternoon:
With the perfect bracket still in tact, that means that person has predicted the first 42 games correctly, which is quite the impressive feat. In the next 3 games going on, this bracket has Illinois, Alabama and Ole Miss.
Regardless of whether or not they are able to complete the comeback, to be this far into the tournament with a perfect bracket is quite the feat.
