This season’s tournament field is wide open.
So are your options for hoops watching in Myrtle Beach. There’s a strong sports-bar scene here, and there are plenty of screens to catch the action on. Plus, great food and drink specials, too.
So grab a booth or barstool and see how long your bracket holds up!
Tips for picking your bracket
Some make their picks based on team colors, others on whether one mascot could beat up the other. Here are some more reasonable tactics.
1. Belief in the 12-vs-5 magic. It’s the most common upset, but only half of the No. 12s make it to the second weekend. Pick beyond round 1 at your risk.
2. Belief in the First Four. These pre-tournament matchups get little attention, but four have reached the sweet 16. One (VCU) made the final four.
3. No belief in a 30-win team. It’s a lofty number. But only two 30-win teams, Kansas in 2008 and Kentucky in 2012, have won the national championship.
