Only three remain in Buffet’s billion dollar March Madness bracket

After Duke University lost to Mercer University in a surprising upset Friday, there are only three people in the entire world left in Warren Buffet’s billion dollar bracket challenge.

The billionaire offered $1 billion to the person who guessed the outcome of all 67 March Madness games. As of Friday morning, just 0.2 percent of brackets were still perfect after only one day of games.

Then after Duke’s loss, only three people remain in the game. (Side note: Duke could have lost the game on purpose so that they would be spared of their classmate Belle Knox’s — um — reward.)

There's only two more paragraphs.

The good part, I suppose, is that Duke is mostly freshmen and sophomores.  Hopefully (for them--I'm more a Tar Heel /Orange fan), no one will bolt for the NBA Draft (Jaibari Paker comes to mind--hopefully, I spelled his name right).

The chance of getting a perfect bracket is almost nil. I doubt anyone will win a billion.

I'm down with that, and I feel the same way about Ohio State.  I can see only three being left, damn' few except a handful of totally ignorant, lucky, or fanatical people would have expected them to get knocked out so early.
