6 tips for filling out your MarchMadness bracket
is back, with 68 teams vying to become the 2019 national champions.
In the past 104 No. 12 vs. No. 5 matchups, the lower seed has prevailed 38 times. Projecting that number out into this year, you're probably safe to pick one or two upsets in this matchup if you think you found the right team. The most difficult aspect of picking these dramatic upsets is finding the right team — with 12 teams seeded 13-15, you really have to hit the bullseye in order to nail the Cinderella team. That said, if you can call the next Florida Gulf Coast trip to the Final Four, you get bragging rights in your league for life — a fair trade-off of risk and reward in my humble opinion.
In fact, in that time, the tournament has averaged a little over two teams seeded No. 10 or lower making it past the first two rounds. Last year, No. 11 Loyola-Chicago took their impressive run all the way to the Final Four.
