Bracket Stats from ESPN.com and CBS Sports.com- As we get further along in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament both CBS and ESPN are puching the success rates, or lack thereof, of the participants in their respective bracket competitions. On ESPN.com, only 0.4 of the 6.45 million brackets submitted have correctly selected the Final Four. Similar results were seen on CBS Sports.com’s bracket competition, where only 0.35% of the 5.1 million entries selected the Final Four. In both instances Kentucky remains the favorite to win it all.
