Rory McIlroy's bracket fails after March Madness upsets

Rory McIlroy's NCAA Tournament bracket did not last long this year. It was ruined just after the first day of March Madness. Like many fans, McIlroy picked the No. 3 Kentucky Wildcats to win the championship. However, they suffered a shocking defeat to the No. 14 Oakland Golden Grizzlies. Kentucky's loss was one of the biggest surprises in NCAA history. Many fans expected Kentucky to at least make it to the second round. McIlroy had Kentucky going all the way to the championship game against UConn. Unfortunately for him, that didn't happen, and his bracket quickly fell apart. While McIlroy also picked Duquesne to win against BYU, which they did, his faith in Kentucky was widely criticized on social media. Fans joked about his lack of knowledge about college basketball. Comments like "Dude hasn’t watched a game in his life" popped up, pointing out how wrong his picks were. Picking a perfect bracket is incredibly challenging. The odds of doing so are approximately 1 in 9.2 quintillion. In this year's tournament, many brackets were busted early, with fewer than 1 percent remaining perfect after the first games. As March Madness continues, fans look forward to more surprises and upsets. UConn aims for a rare third consecutive championship, but the path is unpredictable. The excitement of this tournament keeps fans engaged as they watch for their favorite teams.
