March Madness is upon us. Here is a link to a printable bracket. We will find out who wins in Minneapolis on Monday night, April 8th. Can you pick the perfect bracket? According to a study from DePaul University, the odds of picking a perfect bracket are one in 9.2 quintillion (1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808). The odds are worse than winning two Mega Millions jackpots in a row. Did you know?


Only once have all four #1 seeds made it to the final four (2008).
Until last year, no #16 seed had ever beaten a #1 seed in the first round. #16 seed Maryland-Baltimore County defeated #1 seed Virginia 74-54 in the first round only to lose in the second round to Kansas State.
The phrase “March Madness” was first coined in 1982 by sportscaster Brent Musburger.
In the 80 years of the tournament, only 35 schools have ever won the top prize.
During March Madness, pizza orders increase by 19% and beer sales increase by 28%. Dessert orders increase 9% after favorite teams lose.

March Madness is big fun and big business. We hope your favorite team has a great run in the tournament. It will be fun to watch the buzzer beaters, Cinderella stories and epic matchups!
