Ok. Big NFL fan then Nascar then any kind of hockey NHL OHL college etc. Big Wolverine's fan. Never watched much basketball until this year.

I need a little help on this. Sunday they'll pick the final teams and seeds except for the First four that play Thursday night? Is that right? The winners of these games will fill the field?

So I don't want to pick my bracket until Friday?

I think I'm going to give it a try haha. Heck I know so little I might just win!

First four will play Tuesday and Wednesday, but most brackets will let you pick that game if you want to carry that spot forward in the field of 64 instead of having to wait to see who wins before filling out your bracket. Field of 64 starts Thursday morning so you'll have to have your bracket finished and turned in before the first games start.

There's still time to edit or add a bracket, but they lock in less than 24 hours!

The games that count start tomorrow morning!

We've got 40+ brackets so far.
