Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, Funny Person, why would I bother with a printable bracket when I can just fill one out online?” Well, let me tell you, there’s something special about having a physical copy of your bracket. You can hold it in your hands, scribble notes on it, and make it your own. Plus, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned printing adventure? Watching that bracket slowly make its way out of the printer, wondering if it will actually print in color or if you’ll get stuck with a sad, black and white version… Ah, the excitement is palpable.
How to Use the Printable NCAA Bracket
Okay, I know you guys are smart cookies, but let’s go over the basics just in case. The bracket is set up in a classic tournament style, with teams competing head-to-head until one is left standing as the champion. Each game matchup is marked with the teams’ names and seeds, so you can quickly and easily determine who’s playing. And, of course, you’ll want to fill in your predictions by writing in the winner of each game all the way up to the championship.
Tips for Filling Out Your Bracket
Now, I’m not here to tell you who to pick (I have my own bracket to worry about, thank you very much), but I do have a few tips to help you make the best possible selections.
- Underdogs can be your friends. Don’t be afraid to pick a lower-seeded team over a favorite, especially in the early rounds. Upsets happen every year and they can be the key to winning your bracket.
- But, don’t go crazy with the upsets. While underdogs can be good picks, don’t go overboard and pick a 15-seed to win it all. There’s a reason those teams have such low seeds - it’s because they’re not expected to win many games.
- Take injuries and suspensions into account. If a key player for a team is injured or suspended, that could have a big impact on their chances of winning. Do your research and make informed decisions.
- Don’t overlook defense. Everyone loves a high-scoring game, but when it comes down to it, strong defense wins championships. Look for teams with solid defenses to make deep tournament runs.
- Finally, trust your gut. At the end of the day, you are the best judge of your own basketball knowledge. If you have a good feeling about a certain team or matchup, go with it.
Get Ready for Madness
So, there you have it, folks. Download and print out your NCAA bracket, grab some snacks and drinks, and get ready for some basketball madness. And who knows, maybe this will be the year you finally beat your Uncle Joe in the office pool. Good luck!
