Another Madness start to Friday. It’s already been a wild 26 hours.

Day 2 of the Madness is about to begin. Once again … Here. We. Go.

It’s been an 11-seed evening with both VCU and Texas advancing to the Round of 32.

Duke survives.

It appears Arkansas is setting the example about how to start your tournament game as a higher-seeded favorite.

Oh well …

Louisville holds on after building a big lead against South Florida. It’s been a while since the Cardinals could celebrate something in March.

High Point moves on! The Panthers knock out Wisconsin. The 12-5 upset remains alive and well.

What a start to the 2026 NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin-High Point is all sorts of crazy right now. Mad-Ness.

TCU holds on and knocks out Ohio State in a great 8/9 game to open the East Region. Nice start to the Madness.

Happy NCAA Tournament Thursday! Let the Madness begin. Here. We. Go.

While I’m still a Noon on Thursday NCAA Tournament tip-off fan, Tuesday’s opening games in Dayton were a great start to the Madness ahead. And the place will be rocking when Miami-OH takes the court tonight.

@martymartin78 This is one of my best. Things fell into place. A lot of great results from a lot of talented people in the bracketology community. Congrats to this year’s top performers! Kudos!

@BracketguyDave What is your all-time high score? I enjoy following along, thanks!!

Quick update with this year’s final bracket results. Had all 68 teams, with 52 teams on the exact seed line and another 16 within one line. Every team either on the right line or within one. Score: 376. Happy with the results. Congrats to everyone who enjoys this hobby.

@hawks50009 I haven’t. But I should. Just to help me down the road.

@BracketguyDave Since you also do a true seed list have you ever compared how close your true seed list was to the official one?
