Iowa State basketball

The Iowa State Cyclones upset the LSU Tigers on Friday night, and in doing so left all remaining NCAA Tournament brackets busted.

SO LONG PERFECT BRACKET 😬 #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/J0pdRyIpIU

It’s unclear how many perfect brackets remained as tipoff neared, but it was unlikely to be many. The tournament has been defined by bracket-wrecking upsets early on, including No. 11 Notre Dame over No. 6 Alabama, No. 12 Richmond over No. 5 Iowa and, of course, No. 15 Saint Peter’s over No. 2 Kentucky.

At the time of Kentucky’s loss, only 3% of all perfect brackets remained. Iowa State’s victory eliminated those.

With all remaining brackets flushed, it marks the second consecutive year in which first-round March Madness games resulted in every single official bracket being busted.

If there is one perfect bracket still remaining on a white board or in a mancave out there, kudos to you. Whoever you are.
