Scores below, but first, some ground rules:

• 1 point for every team correctly picked to advance to the second round.
• 2 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the quarterfinals.
• 4 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the final four.
• 8 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the championship.
• 16 points for correctly picking the champion.
• There will only be one tiebreaker this year. With the Final Four in Las Vegas, we’re going to go to a roulette wheel and take one roll. You will be asked to guess this number, and in the event of a tie, closest to the number wins (closest, period—you can go over). If it’s still tied after that, we will ask King Solomon to decide. If he doesn’t answer, or if he tells us to chop a baby in half, we will reject his advice and award a prize to all winners.
• All decisions by The Barking Crow regarding scoring and tiebreakers are final, and by joining this challenge, you agree to this.
• The winner, runner-up, and third-place finisher will receive prizes of decreasing value. The prizes are negotiable, but we hold final say. Past winners have received combinations of merchandise, future NIT tickets, and gift cards to storied American eateries (it turned out Sbarro doesn’t have gift cards—that was a low point for us). Last year’s winners haven’t received anything because we haven’t sent it to them yet. This is a bad look for us. Our apologies, last year’s winners: We will sweeten the deal for you and I promise you will receive your prizes eventually.
• All brackets must be received before the first game of the tournament tips off (Tuesday 3/14 at 7:00 PM EDT).
• One entry per email address.

Now, the scores:
