We had a little fun recreating the Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake #Hashtag skit and made it March Madness worthy.
Tip 1: Emotions do not belong in your bracket. You can’t pick a team just because you love them. And don’t pick against a team just because you hate their coach or players.
Tip number 2. When it comes to the tournament advance the number one and two seeds through the first round because in basketball 1> 16 and 2>15.
Tip 3: Pick a 12 seed to beat a 5 seed. In 23 of the last 25 years a 12 seed has beaten a 5.
Tip 4: Advance no more than 2 number one seeds through to the Final Four. In 23 of the last 29 years no more than 2 number ones have advanced to the Final Four and only 1 time in tournament history have all four number ones made it to the Final Four.
Tip number 5: Pick schools named after states or cities. Do not pick schools named after people---unless they’re Duke.
Tip number 6: In 26 of the last 29 years only a 1, 2 or 3 seed has won the national championship. So, don’t think you’ll be the first pick a 14 seed to win it all and get it right. It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3.
Tip number 7: Your Final Four should add up to 9. Over the past 10 years the average sum of the seeds of the teams in the Final Four has equaled 9.
Tip number 8: There are over 9 quintillion possible ways to fill out your bracket so just have fun with it!
