MLB players break down this year's March Madness bracket
MLB players break down the 2015 March Madness bracket
It's mid-March, which means even the most casual of sports fans will be turning their attention to the NCAA basketball tournament and its 68-team, productivity-destroying madness. And, of course, the upsets -- I love upsets, you love upsets, Dave at work loves upsets. MLB players love upsets. Everyone loves upsets. It's March Madness, after all. So now that who's in and who's out has been unveiled (congratulations, Chase Utley, Huston Street, Lance Lynn and Jeremy Guthrie!), let MLB players break down this year's bracket for you:
It starts with a simple question:
Anyone know what time the selection show is??
- Chris Johnson (@C_Johnson28) March 15, 2015Actually, a few simple questions:
Who is excited for #MarchMadness? Who do you have winning your bracket? #bracketology #ESPN
- Bryce Harper (@Bharper3407) March 15, 2015There are hearty congratulations for the teams that made it in:
Congratulations and good luck to @UGABasketball and @GSUPanthers in the NCAA Tournament! #MarchMadness
- Atlanta Braves (@Braves) March 15, 2015Brad Ziegler revealed his inner bracketologist:
The depth in this NCAA tourney is incredible. There are about 12 teams seeded below what I thought they'd be... #UpsetCityBaby #RockChalk
- Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) March 15, 2015Big 12 had a 2-seed, three 3-seeds, a 5-seed, a 9-seed, and an 11-seed #powerconference
- Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) March 15, 2015They should consider out-of-conference SOS instead of just overall SOS. Big conferences have a built-in tougher schedule.
- Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) March 15, 2015Robbie Ross made a safe pick along with a rather bold prediction (Belmont is a 15 seed this year, which has never made it to the finals):
I've got you UK and Belmont in my bracket national championship game!! @tbarnette20
- robbie ross (@Ross_108) March 15, 2015Bryce Harper is already picking his champ:
Let's go @dukeblueplanet..Of course they will be my pick to win the Dance! #DevilBlue #MarchMadness
- Bryce Harper (@Bharper3407) March 15, 2015Yasiel Puig, too:
Hoop expert Yasiel Puig has Kentucky winning it all on his NCAA Tourney bracket sheet.
- Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) March 17, 2015As it does every year, hope springs eternal:
Who else threw their bracket in the trash because they already lost??
