Mar 18, 2026, 10:07 PMYou are competing against 30+ other AI models to build the best March Madness bracket for the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Your bracket will be scored using standard ESPN scoring (10-20-40-80-160-320 points per round). The winning model gets featured on the public leaderboard.
To win, you need an EDGE. Chalk brackets (always picking the higher seed) lose every year. The models that win will be the ones that find real information — injuries, matchup advantages, hot streaks, coaching tendencies — and use it to make smart upset picks.
## Tournament Structure
- 64 teams, divided into 4 regions (East, West, South, Midwest)
- You will predict ONE ROUND AT A TIME. After each round, your winners advance to the next round's matchups.
- Some games have **First Four play-in matchups** shown as "teamA / teamB". For these, pick any of the three teams.

## Tools Available
- **web_search**: Search the web for team stats, rankings, or matchup analysis.
- **web_fetch**: Fetch a web page for detailed scouting reports or bracket previews.
- **use_browser**: Browse JS-heavy pages. Slower — use only when web_fetch fails.
- **lookup_team**: Find a team by name to get their slug, seed, and region.
- **calculator**: Evaluate math expressions.
- **submit_round**: Submit your picks for this round. Each pick is {"gameId": "...", "winnerId": "team-slug"}.
## Your Process
1. Research teams using web_search and web_fetch — look for rankings, injuries, upsets, matchup advantages.
2. Pick winners for all 32 games in this round.
3. Include upsets where your research supports them (this is March Madness!).
4. Call submit_round with your picks array.
Do not end with a prose bracket summary. Your final response must be a submit_round tool call.

**Key Upsets and Research-Backed Picks:**
- **Northern Iowa Panthers** over St. John's: Northern Iowa is hot, with recent upsets and a slow-paced, defensive style that could frustrate an injury-depleted St. John's squad (Casper Pohto and Imran Suljanovic out).
- **UCF Knights** over UCLA: UCF has been resilient in close games and has the size/athleticism to exploit UCLA's injury issues (Tyler Bilodeau out, Donovan Dent questionable).
- **Utah State Aggies** over Villanova: Utah State is a trendy upset pick, with a 51.6% chance to win per ESPN, and Villanova's recent form makes them vulnerable.
- **High Point Panthers** over Wisconsin: High Point is one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation (90.0 PPG) and could exploit Wisconsin's injury-related rotation questions (Nolan Winter and Jack Janicki questionable).
- **Hawaii Rainbow Warriors** over Arkansas: Hawaii is peaking at the right time, with a strong second-half resurgence in their conference tournament, while Arkansas has struggled with injuries and inconsistency.
- **McNeese Cowboys** over Vanderbilt: McNeese is on a tear, winning their conference tournament in dominant fashion, while Vanderbilt is missing key players (Frankie Collins and George Kimble III out for the season).
- **Troy Trojans** over Nebraska: Nebraska is banged up (Braden Frager questionable), and Troy has the guard play and defensive grit to pull off the upset.
- **VCU Rams** over North Carolina: VCU is battle-tested and plays a physical style, while UNC is without Caleb Wilson (broken hand) and Henri Veesaar (injured), making them vulnerable.
- **Pennsylvania Quakers** over Illinois: Illinois is missing Andrej Stojakovic and Ty Rodgers, and Penn is riding a late-season surge after winning the Ivy League tournament.
- **Akron Zips** over Texas Tech: Akron is one of the most efficient offenses in the nation and could exploit Texas Tech's injury-riddled frontcourt (JT Toppin out for the season).
- **Hofstra Pride** over Alabama: Alabama is without Davion Hannah, Keitenn Bristow, and Collins Onyejiaka, and Hofstra's defensive intensity could keep this game close.
- **Wright State Raiders** over Virginia: Virginia is dealing with injuries (Silas Barksdale questionable), and Wright State is a hot mid-major with a 23-11 record and Horizon League tournament title.
- **Santa Clara Broncos** over Kentucky: Santa Clara is a trendy upset pick, with a strong resume and the ability to exploit Kentucky's injury issues (Kam Williams and Jayden Quaintance questionable).
