Playing the NCAA Basket brackets is about as tough as winning the lottery because you have to determine how each team will do in each round prior to any game being played. You’re not looking for perfection here. You’re trying to get as close to right as is possible.

With 16 seeds in four regions everyone needs some guidelines to help them through this maze of teams and games. Here are some trends and tips to consider.

NCAA Basketball Bracket Trends

  • No 16th seed has ever defeated a #1 seed. Enough said.
  • In 1985 eighth-seed Villanova became the lowest seed to win the title.
  • In that same year, they became the lowest seed to make it to the Final Four.
  • Only two #11 seeds have been to the Final Four. Besides Nova, they are the lowest to do so.
  • One #12 has been to the Elite Eight.
  • Two #14 seeds have been to the Sweet 16.
  • Four #15 seeds have been to round two.

NCAA Basketball Bracket Tips

  • The 1 through 4 seeds have the best shot at getting to round two.
  • Seeds 5 through 10 in the tournament tend to be less predictable in round two. Evaluate these very carefully. There will be a five upset by a 12, a six by an 11 and a seven by a 10.
  • Eight and nine matchups can simply go either way.
  • In determining round two matchups eliminate any 11, 12, 14 and 15 seeds left.
  • For the Sweet 16, you want to stay with number one seeds and eliminate any seed eight or lower. The games tend to be very close at this level.
  • With the Elite Eight you should choose at least two #1 seeds.
  • The Final Four and title game are simply up to you, but chances are you’ll have at least one #1 seed and some combination of #1 through #4 seeds.

How to run a 100 Square Pool

What??? There's another March Madness Pool?
Most people think that the College Basketball Bracket is the only office pool you can run during the tournament. We like to think outside the box and come up with new creative pools to run, such as our College Basketall Tourney Props Pool and the March Madness Square pool you see above.


How does the Square Pool work?
The concept is the same as the Super Bowl Squares, in that you will be using the last digits of the two team's scores to find the person's name in the intersecting square. The difference being you will only be using the final score of the game, and every game in the tournament will have a winning square. If you want to run a little more advanced pool, try our College Basketball Block Pool where the numbers representing the team scores will change for each round.


Step 1
Print the square grid from above and take it around to family and friends having them write their name in the square or squares of their choice.


Step 2
Once all the squares are full it is time to set up the drawing. This can be done in many ways, listed below are 2 examples. After determining the drawing method, draw the numbers one at a time placing the numbers from left to right starting with the first gray square box in the top row, continue across the top row until the numbers are gone. After that is complete you will redraw the numbers, this time placing the drawn numbers in the gray square boxes in the left column, starting at the top.
Example 1: Write the numbers 0-9 on pieces of paper and place them in a hat.
Example 2: Get a deck of cards A through 10, the ace represents a one, the 10 represents a 0, 2-9 are face value.


Winning Squares
In Round 1 Illinois beats Florida by a score of 93 to 86. On the top row you will be looking at the last digit of the winning team's score, which is 3, down the left hand column you will be looking at the last digit of the losing team's score which is 6. Find where these two numbers intersect on the grid and the person's name in that square wins. You will do this for every game of the tournament. Most pools will weight the winning prizes by round. There will either be a total of 63 or 67 winners, based on whether you choose to use the play-in games or not.

Round 1 - 32 games
