What Does Your March Madness Bracket Look Like, Manchester?

By Feroze Dhanoa (Patch Staff)

March Madness is officially in full swing as 68 teams compete to win the NCAA national championship.

Now that Selection Sunday is over, the only thing on basketball fans’ minds is getting a winning bracket.

The first thing you’ll need is a printable bracket.

And yes, we know UConn didn’t make it into the Big Dance but who can resist all the fun and excitement that comes with the great sport that is college basketball. Don’t despair though, Storrs was just ranked as the best city for basketball fans by WalletHub.

The Bleacher Report offers some handy dos and don’ts for filling out your bracket before you make any crazy bets with family and friends. An estimated $12 billion will be bet worldwide on the NCAA tournament.

First-round play takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, with the NCAA Championship game scheduled for April 6 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Check out the full schedule on ESPN.

So what does your bracket look like and how are you going to beat out everyone else who picks Kentucky as the national champion?
