Well, that is that.

No good NCAA Tournament brackets remained among the many thousands and thousands of entries within the ESPN bracket problem and within the contests tracked on the NCAA’s official web site.

The finish got here Sunday night time when No. 6 seed Tennessee beat No. 3 seed Virginia 79-72 within the forty fourth sport of the event.

The day began with two good brackets left within the ESPN contest and 4 on the NCAA’s web site, which tracks the ESPN problem together with six contests run by different retailers. ESPN had 26.5 million entries, and 36 million have been tracked by the NCAA.

After a pair of No. 2 seeds eradicated No. 7s Sunday — Purdue beat Miami 79-69 and Iowa State topped Kentucky 82-63 — ESPN had two intact brackets and the NCAA had three.

When Dylan Darling’s buzzer-beating layup gave No. 5 seed St. John’s a 67-65 win over No. 4 seed Kansas, ESPN had one good bracket left.

The variety of good brackets within the ladies’s event dropped to 279 within the ESPN contest and fewer than 400 on the NCAA web site after greater seeds received the primary six video games Sunday.

The closest ladies’s video games have been 4-vs.-5 matchups. Minnesota beat Mississippi 65-63 on a last-second shot and North Carolina bought previous Maryland 74-66. The different 4 video games have been blowouts determined by no fewer than 23 factors. No. 1 seed Texas and No. 2 seed LSU hit triple digits, with the Longhorns routing No. 8 seed Oregon 100-58 and the Tigers mauling No. 7 seed Texas Tech 101-47.

The odds of going 63-0 in a bracket contest are someplace between one in 9.2 quintillion (for completely random guesses) or one in 120 billion (semi-educated ones).
