After Day 1 of March Madness, only 14,525 brackets out of more than 13 million remained perfect in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. Timberwolves’ point guard Ricky Rubio was among the .01% of all contestants not to go bust yet, somehow nailing every single pick on Thursday, including that stunning Little Rock upset of Purdue that less than one percent of ESPN’s entries saw happening.

Not many people saw it coming, except for, *cough cough* ya boy. But then of course Seton Hall found a way to screw me over in the last game of the evening.
It feels good to be almost in the company of Mr. Perfect 16-16 Ricky Rubio right now. But c’mon, lets not kid ourselves that this perfection is going to last…
