Mar 18, 2026, 10:08 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.

Purdue knocked off the upstart North Carolina State Wolfpack before UConn upended the Alabama Crimson Tide.\n\nPurdue (34-4) is seeking its first championship in program history.\n\nOn the other side, UConn (36-3) is aiming to become the first back-to-back March Madness champion in nearly two decades.\n\nB/R's college basketball crew—David Kenyon, Kerry Miller and Joel Reuter—each shared their prediction for Monday's game. We also have viewing details, betting information and recaps of how Purdue and UConn reached the championship stage.\n\n## Game Information\n\n1 of 4\n\n\n\nFred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images\n\nStephon Castle\n\n**When:** Monday, April 8\n\n**Time:** 9:20 p.m. ET\n\n**Where:** State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona\n\n**TV:** TBS\n\n**Stream:** [March Madness Live](https://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/watch)\n\n**Spread ( [via DraftKings](https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/featured?wpcid=111473&wpcn=Widget&wpcrid=Editorial&wpscn=NCAABB&wpsrc=BleacherReport)):** UConn -6\n\n**Moneyline:** UConn -278 (bet $278 to win $100); Purdue +225 (bet $100 to win $225)\n\n**Total:** Over/Under 146\n\n## How Purdue Got Here\n\n2 of 4\n\n\n\nJamie Squire/Getty Images\n\nGLENDALE, ARIZONA - APRIL 06: Braden Smith #3, Lance Jones #55, and Zach Edey #15 of the Purdue Boilermakers walk across the court in the first half against the North Carolina State Wolfpack in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Final Four semifinal game at State Farm Stadium on April 06, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)\n\nPurdue found itself on the wrong side of history in the 2023 tourney, falling to Fairleigh Dickinson in the opening round. It marked only the second time a No. 16 seed had defeated a No. 1 team.\n\nBut there was no drama to begin March Madness in 2024.\n\nPurdue cruised past Grambling in a 78-50 rout before rolling over Utah State 106-67 during the second round. In the Sweet 16, the Boilers outlasted Gonzaga for a quality 80-68 win. They punched a Final Four ticket with a nerve-testing 72-66 triumph over Tennessee.\n\nIn those four victories, star center Zach Edey averaged 30 points and 16.3 rebounds. He then collected 20 points and 12 boards in Purdue's 63-50 win against North Carolina State on Saturday.\n\nFor the season, Purdue holds the nation's second-best three-point percentage and total rebounding rate. Those strengths will be essential in a showdown with a feisty, physical UConn team.\n\n## How UConn Got Here\n\n3 of 4\n\n\n\nJamie Squire/Getty Images\n\nDonovan Clingan\n\nThis journey looks pretty familiar, huh?\n\nLast year, the Huskies rattled off v"
