Pandemic concerns canceled the 2020 edition of March Madness, but this year's tournament returned with a vengeance. A whopping 15 million people filled out their six-round bracket on ESPN.com in hopes of winning a nice lump sum of money. Unfortunately, 95% went broke after the first round. Why? The Ohio State versus Oral Roberts game.
Many thought Ohio State would destroy Oral Roberts, but the favorites were defeated in overtime 75-72. This busted over 90% of the brackets in just one game. Of course, ESPN.com is inviting its users to take part in a second-chance bracket to soften the blow.
Another upset that probably broke a few brackets was the Morehead State versus West Virginia matchup, which resulted in the former beating one of the best teams in the league. Only 5% of the original brackets still stood after the first round of the annual dance. After the second round, there were no perfect brackets remaining.
