Maile’s First March Madness

by Maile Girl on March 16, 2010

Daddy has been hard at work the past couple of weeks. I asked mommy what he was up to and she told me that his business builds a tool called BracketBrains that helps people fill out their March Madness brackets. Then I asked her what a “March Madness bracket” was and she said that even better then telling me was to show me. So she gave me a blue marker and then showed me a piece of paper with a lot of lines and words. We then worked on “filling” out my bracket. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out – I’ll share my picks with you here in case you need help with your own brackets!

So all I need to do is pick the teams I like? Okay, I'll draw some lines to show you...

Hmm... these 7/10 seeds are tricky. I think their might be some upsets here...

Do I have to take Duke because Mommy and Daddy went there?

Dad note: Okay, here is my interpretation of Maile’s bracket:

- She thinks the bottom half of the Midwest region is going to be a battle: Oklahoma St, Georgia Tech and Ohio State are all tough teams. She ultimately sees Ohio State surviving.

- She thinks Vanderbilt is overseeded at #4 and will go out to Butler in the Second Round.

- She really likes New Mexico to make it to the Elite Eight.

- She also likes Duke to survive the South region (really no bias, she made the mark herself!)

- Her Final Four? Ohio State, Kansas St, Kentucky and Duke. She has Duke playing Kansas St in the Championship and Duke winning it all!
