Much to your utter dismay, after months of meticulous research and game-film study, your NCAA bracket is currently losing to someone who has literally never watched a game of basketball in their life.
While you thought heavily about what number 12 seeds would pull off an upset this year, and you even correctly predicted UC-Irvine’s 13-seed upset, you’re still losing to someone who just joined your office pool because it sounded fun and they figured, “well, why not.”
While you looked at what teams have potential NBA Lottery prospects, and factored in travel times for each team, someone is currently ahead with their strategy of “picking the team with the lower number, since they’re supposed to be the better teams.”
What’s worse is that there is essentially no chance for you to beat this bracket novice, since you both picked Duke to win it all.
