As of March 23, 2025, all perfect brackets in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament have been eliminated. The final perfect brackets were busted with Kentucky’s 84-75 victory over Illinois on Sunday, March 23. This outcome underscores the difficulty of predicting every game correctly in the tournament.
Historically, achieving a perfect bracket is extremely rare. The closest anyone has come was in 2019 when Gregg Nigl correctly predicted the first 49 games before missing one. The odds of filling out a perfect bracket by random chance are estimated at 1 in 9.2 quintillion.
As the tournament progresses, the unpredictability of March Madness continues to captivate fans, making each game exciting and full of potential surprises.
