Number of perfect March Madness brackets dwindles to a precious few in Day 2

The odds of a picking perfect NCAA Tournament bracket are astronomical for a reason.

The number of unblemished entries in ESPN’s bracket challenge dropped to 423 with four games to play Friday night, thanks in part to ninth-seeded Utah State’s win over eighth-seeded Villanova.

Translation: Over 99.999% of the 26 million-plus brackets entered have already been busted.

It was much the same over at the NCAA’s bracket challenge, where error-free entries were at 0.005% heading into Friday night’s games.

Things were off to a slightly better start for those who gave ESPN’s women’s bracket challenge a shot. More than 1.1 million perfect brackets remained after Friday’s opening set of games. Yet even with the higher seeds prevailing in every contest, well over 2 million entries had already fallen by the wayside.
