My NCAA men's basketball tournament bracket has 12 misses in 32 games, including two teams going to the round of 16. My skills are as meager as ever; of the four 8-9 games, i picked the 9 seed three times. Result: only one 9 seed won, and it was the one i didn't pick.

I'll try my hand at the women's bracket now. Let's see if that's any better.
