2022 brackets: Final Four update

Thanks to Duke’s Final Four loss, I’m out of the running for the trophy this year. Grandpa went from the bottom to second place after Kansas’ win last night. But it won’t be enough because Chris has claimed the trophy

Boom! That sound you heard was everyone’s brackets blowing up, thanks to big losses by overall No. 1 Gonzaga and fellow No. 1 seed Arizona. I usually root for the underdog, so I must say how exciting the Sweet Sixteen
