There goes THAT bracket 😂😂😂😂
Welcome to March Madness!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@wilshade]

The fun is making the picks then watching at least one of your brackets disintegrating before the Elite 8. 😁

[@BobSmith-ql7fb]

If most of my brackets aren’t busted by then and one of them isn’t scary good except one region, I know I picked too much chalk 😂

[@rjhall6055]

Usually on Thursday mine is in the trash lol

[@CYCLONEFAN88]

Mine never last that long

[@drewhunt22]

Honestly, it’s not a bad bracket. I think you’re going to love MM, especially the first round. The games are so perfectly paced where you’ve got certain points during the day where games are finishing once every 15 minutes or so, and it’s like a constant dopamine drip for two days.
Fun fact. They say more vasectomies will be performed this week in the US than any other week of the year.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you Drew! We are looking forward to it! Haha thanks for the fact 😂

[@michaelgray4964]

Re the vasectomy thing - Guys get them done the day before March Madness starts so that they can take a couple of sick days off work. They sit home with an ice pack on their ball sack while they watch all the games. It's a real thing.

[@elijahfoster2]

You guys can see more info on the teams by clicking the "i"

I have family in Herne Bay, Kent. Thx for keeping Maryland (my alma mater) and Auburn where my oldest son attends school.

[@sandiegovarsitysports6156]

Good looking out ! I will be routing for my San Diego Aztecs ! Daygo Baby !

[@TheWriter-zr7or]

Daygo !

[@michaelgray4964]

It's fun watching people who don't know college hoops do a bracket. They do it off of school names/states, team colors, who has the meaner mascot, all sorts of reasons.

[@McSnacks930]

You all gotta watch The U it’s about University of Miami and it’s dominance and some other great 30 for 30s. Such great documentaries!

[@ZMtnShadows]

You guys couldn't of had much sleep Sunday. Thanks for staying up.

[@DNReacts]

We didn’t get much sleep and we both had work. But we are determined to put work into this channel, thanks for being there 😊

[@SoundsAroundUs7]

LETS GO BOYS!!! I am an Arizona fan. A fun fact about our team is how international our roster is. We have players from Estonia, Sweden, Lithuania, and Mali. You will have a lot of fun watching us play I promise. We score some of the most points per game of anyone in the country. Our coach won National Coach of the year award last year. Our fans have a saying of Bear Down! So try and have some fun saying that during the tourney. We also are the only team in tournament history that has ever beaten 3 number 1 seeds to win a national championship.

[@ryanhiatt23]

I would love to see some analysis from you guys on the mascots of schools. Which are cool, which are lame, what is a Boilermaker and so on.

[@DNReacts]

This sounds great Ryan. Have added to our list and will see if we can find a video to cover of them all.

[@qt14.]

I’m from Tennessee but I hate them so bad, because I’m a Memphis fan which is an unofficial in-state rivalry

[@ericfountain4656]

Not too bad. Except the final score prediction lol. I'm an Arkansas Razorbacks fan and I can't bring myself to pick against us, so your bracket will probably do better than mine

[@misterkite]

In 1997, I was a student at the University of Arizona when they won the whole thing. Good choice :)

[@hipzipper1]

That was fun. Good luck.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you Dean 😀

[@adambuckler1398]

The crazy part about March is that a team can barely win a first round game from a buzzer beater and then go on to make the final 4! Anyone can beat anyone in one game - it’s all about which teams are capable of stringing wins together. It’s the greatest 4 days of sports of the year!!

[@DNReacts]

Can’t wait Adam!

[@teelink204]

Great that you have a friend from Arkansas, you should have picked them to go all the way.

[@seanpyne1236]

Auburn did play Bama in the kick 6 game… Auburn and Alabama are ARCH RIVALS and easily a top 3 rivalry in all of college football so that’s why the kick 6 was so memorable on top of a game never ending like that one did
They play every year and it’s called the Iron Bowl

[@jno99]

War Eagle!

[@Tuvok_Shakur]

A friend told me before that since there's always upsets, people who follow and know the teams actually tend to do worse on their brackets than people who don't know anything at all about them.

[@DNReacts]

Let’s hope that’s the case 😂

[@simontmiller]

I think he means that the winning bracket is usually someone who doesn't know anything. Someone who watches would beat someone who doesn't, but someone who watches would be less likely to pick upsets so they would not win it all. Basically a newbie has a higher ceiling and lower floor.

[@Tuvok_Shakur]

@@simontmiller That may be what he said, it was over a decade ago so I might have misremembered part of it lol

[@Zrg-xg8ve]

The fact their first ever bracket beat mine

[@willrobinson4976]

Good job guys and good luck.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks Will! Good luck.

[@weymarosborne9438]

Hey gents. I just want to say it's been supremely fun watching your channel over the past few weeks. It feels like you have come out of nowhere in terms of popularity on my feed, but I am enjoying watching you learn about our sports culture. To be honest I feel a little bad about not exploring European soccer deeply enough in return. I've just returned from watching the First Four games in Dayton, Ohio a few hours ago, where Texas A&M, Corpus Christi defeated Southeast Missouri, and Pittsburgh defeated Mississippi State. They were the first college basketball games I've ever been to, and I had a blast. I hope you two are able to enjoy the tournament as much as I have these first two games. Cheers!

[@DNReacts]

We really appreciate that Weymar! We are having so much fun learning your sports and really understanding what they mean to you guys. I’m glad you are enjoying the journey with us 😀

[@sethp26]

If you click the little "i" info button next to the matchups you can compare stats of the two teams just in case you guys decide to make more brackets

[@linktown-blue907]

Things I’ve seen in the top left of the bracket for most people, Creighton makes it to the sweet 16 against Arizona almost every time, I’d Creighton wins people pick Alabama to beat them but if Arizona wins people pick them to win it all

[@duchaneaux]

LOL the way you guys picked your teams is like a mother choosing her relatives' birthdays for her lottery ticket numbers haha.
It would be amazing if the first perfect bracket ever recorded was done by a couple of british guys that just learned about March Madness and we have this video of their thought process haha.

[@kiefercourt271]

If you click on the info button next to the games it tells you about the teams

[@BarabooTycoon]

***Attn*** Just so you know that most office pool brackets have a point total for each round, so the winner of the pool is the person who has the highest score wins. For example, the first round of games you get 1 point if you get the pick correct. Then the second round of games you get 2 points if you get the pick correct. Then 3 points and so on for the next rounds. In our office pool we pay $5 for each bracket we fill out. Depending on how many brackets are turned in, the pool fluctuates. Last year our office pool winner won the pool of $365, and they never watched a college basketball game in their life. lol

[@DNReacts]

Anyone can win 😂

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

If y'all would have hit the I for info that would have helped a lot with your decisions and tells you there average points per game how much that defense allows per game and they're record against top 25 teams

[@bradb1060]

I can respect you guys bringing my Indiana Hoosiers to the Elite 8. I also picked Arizona to win but that final score prediction was horrendous lol.

[@DNReacts]

Yeah that was my bad 😂 imagine the scenes if that’s correct though 😂

[@bigjoe4u12]

Ayye you got my horns in the final #HookEm 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@DNReacts]

Let’s go!

[@newgrl]

That's TXSU vs. FDU (Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey), which is a game that was happening about the same time you all were filling out this bracket. FDU won. :):)

[@richhill39]

It has begun! Furman (13) just beat (4) Virginia

[@zacharyliles8657]

It feels absurd to select a team for the final 4 when earlier you were debating whether or not they'd lose in the 1st round, but that's the magic of this tournament and what makes it so fun! Your guys bracket is just as legitimate as somebody whos been watching every game all season. And honestly your picks were pretty good! Choosing a team because you saw their watch party is just as valid a reason as any for choosing a team!

[@mbdg6810]

I have 3 of the same final four in my bracket.

[@DNReacts]

Good job!

[@19MichaelDixon]

Love how you guys say Purdue. You say PERRR Do, whereas we say Per DO

[@videogamevalley7523]

…..I did one many moons ago….mines was done by the sweet 16

[@jennifermorris6848]

Before the 8 ha usually before the 16.

[@shadowoftsushima7942]

DraftKings is doing a millionaire bracket, got my entry in I thought it was free at first but ended up being a $100 entry.

[@mattpoules9225]

holy macerel....no defense in that game, 116 to 106 ... wow, it'd be a first time NCAA Tournament final score, high combined score, I think, if that actually happened mate!!! Unprecedented , but I'd love to see it, ha!

[@tomdemay6147]

yup best would be if it was a 4 OT type game

[@DNReacts]

Would be an amazing game!

[@cartergrimm9466]

It's estimated that in the States, $17.3 billion is lost every year in productivity from people watching the tournament while at work.

[@dsboyce1977]

I’m a little sad you picked my Illini to lose in the first round, but it’s all good. If the championship games ends up being 116-106 it would be an all-time classic. Let’s will it into existence.

[@zacharyliles8657]

Honestly FAU over Purdue in the 2nd round isn't a terrible choice! Many people feel Purdue shouldn't have been a 1 seed and FAU is a smaller school but they had a really great season and honestly I think they're underrated as a 9 seed. I could definitely see them beating Purdue

[@branbran8134]

As an FAU fan and student, we got screwed playing Memphis in the first round. Memphis just beat #1 Houston by 10. Not feeling to confident but one can only hope 🦉

[@simontmiller]

I can see them beating Fairleigh Dickinson too...

[@TheWriter-zr7or]

Lets go San Diego Aztecs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

You guys picked Arizona in the final, and if that works out, it would be their second title. They won the whole thing in 1997. Texas has never won the men's tournament (they did win the women's tournament once in the '80s) or been to the final. But Texas isn't a bad pick to be runner-up.

[@areguapiri]

It really does help if you know each team's record when you make your picks.

[@gavincampbell7488]

Shoutout to Prison Break for being an awesome series 🤣👉👉

[@huejaynus6873]

yooo lets fuckin go. go aztecs baby. sdsu can go on dry streaks on the offensive side but their defense will keep them in most games

[@0554joe]

8k subs!

[@DNReacts]

Let’s go!!

[@megaascension2748]

I finished top 200 out of millions of brackets on ESPN a few years ago! I'm pulling for Charleston, and by the way, Charleston actually was named after King Charles II of England when the city was founded in 1670, College of Charleston was founded in 1770 as the first municipal college in the colonies. I'll be at the Charleston game on Thursday. I picked Arizona, Marquette, Gonzaga, and Houston in my final four, and my "Cinderella teams" were Charleston, VCU, and Drake.

[@twhit4gator629]

Common Arizona W!!!!!

[@M3ntalVib3z]

I went from pure anger to unadulterated happiness as a Marquette fan

[@DNReacts]

They had a good run 😂

[@gavincampbell7488]

Fun fact: NBA Super Star Kawhi Leonard went to San Diego State University.

[@requiemforameme1]

As an NBA fan that went to an arts school, this is close to how I pick brackets honestly.
It’d be great to see you react to the 1992 NBA Dream Team from the Barcelona Olympics. Joseph Vincent has a short and sweet video on it.

[@tomdemay6147]

the people sleeping on Duke saying they are going down dont know what they talking about. Duke has one of the top 2 or 3 talented teams in the country and they are RED HOT on a 9 game win streak including winning ACC tourney with SOLID wins over Miami and Virginia along the way. Glad to see you did fall for the Oral Roberts hype. Duke is one of the most dangerous teams in the nation. Should've picked em to beat Louisiana too though.

[@xd_Jam]

Don't be worried about weird logic sometimes. The odds of having a perfect bracket are slim to none. I saw an interview with a kid who actually had the highest ranked bracket and his reasoning for one of his picks is that he visited that college's campus and thought it was nice. Worked out well for him.

[@DNReacts]

That’s brilliant 😂

[@Chris-kk6cw]

I have the same final 2

[@DNReacts]

Good luck!

[@theedon501]

Hope y’all caught the Mexico - Great Britain WBC game! Looking like their performance is going to get them a lot of much needed funding for the future of baseball in GBR!

[@DNReacts]

We didn’t unfortunately as we both had work today and it was on around 2am I believe. Respectable result though, we have done well this year and I hope that helps push the sport on over here!

[@benjaminjones112]

I watch so much college basketball yet y’all’s bracket is so much better than mine 😂

[@DNReacts]

😅 Just a shame we picked Arizona for the tournament win 🫣

[@BrandonRoberts-pr1hs]

It's not really deserving of a reaction video, but I would recommend you watch some of the "One Shining Moment" highlight videos from prior years. Will do a good job of getting you guys hype for the first round and kind of spells out the Cinderella-esque magic of the whole tournament.

[@troll707]

If you guys initially went princeton this bracket would've been really good lol

[@DNReacts]

I know lol. Can’t believe we called a video the perfect bracket and watched Arizona get beaten on Day 1 😅 Been so much fun though

[@joshmartin5399]

Is fun watching you guys get into college basketball. To me, a big sports fan, the ncaa tournament is the best sporting event of the year. Especially the first 4 days. It's one game after another. I joined your bracket pool. Good luck to you guys! And thanks for all the great videos! Cheers from Nevada. Go Pack!!

[@gavincampbell7488]

Damn, missed the livestream! I was at work fellas. Awesome to see you guys still checked it out. Can’t wait to finish the vid. Cheers m8s 🤙🏼

[@Gate2Wire]

[@Pete_Finch]

I'm actually filling out my bracket right now so this is legit perfect timing 😂

[@DNReacts]

Love that! Good luck!

[@sethp26]

I always make three brackets, one where there's not a ton of upsets, one where there's tons of big upsets, then one where i pick the team based on who's better in college football. Always interesting to see what strategy works the best lol

[@dennislopez1272]

Gents, you picked wrong. My Miami Hurricanes are gonna stomp Drake. THE U 🙌 is going all the way. We made it to the Elite 8 last year, and our best player who is conference player of the year came back.
Its always fun doing a bracket

[@danielficarra2557]

Most people are picking the zags, Houston or Kansas I’m going neither I believe my alma mater “UCLA” has the potential to go deep into the tourney. Yes Clark’s out but bona will be back and we play scrappy and our d has been a force to be reckon with. Hearing the post interviews the guys have the right idea of taking it one game at a time that each game could be there last. We have all the right reasons to win just like everyone else. We’ll see what happens. Best of luck to everyone, if you need info on he schedule click on the I in the small box it’ll help you a lot.

[@frankshaffer7645]

Wow!
Makes me feel better about my picks.

[@alexwells8760]

This will be the perfect bracket

[@DNReacts]

We hope so!!

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

I have no #1 seeds in the Final Four. I have three #2 seeds (Arizona, Marquette, and UCLA), and a #3 seed (Xavier). I am picking UCLA over Marquette in the final.
I also have two #12/#13 games in the Round of 32 - Charleston vs. Furman (both located in South Carolina, funnily enough) in the South Region, and Oral Roberts vs. Louisiana in the East.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi won the South region play-in game, so they'll play Alabama in the #1/16 matchup, and Pittsburgh beat Mississippi State, so they'll be the #11 seed in the Midwest versus Iowa State. The other two play-in games are today. I am picking Fairleigh Dickinson over Texas Southern for the last #16 against Purdue, and Nevada over Arizona State for the #11 against TCU.

[@DNReacts]

Good luck!

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@@DNReacts A couple of other picks I'm making - I have two #6 over #3 picks in the Round of 32 - Kentucky over Kansas State and TCU over Gonzaga.

[@jmweed1861]

The Only time you could Actually pick the Winner with 100% Accucy was when UCLA won the NCAA Tournament 12 out of 10 years in a Row, with the Best Coach in John Wooden and the two best college players ever in Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) and later Bill Walton...

[@jmweed1861]

Sorry, it was 10 out of 12 years in a Row. The Only Reason they did not win it 12 straight times was Freshman could not play in the 1960s, Thus Lew Alcindor could not play as a Freshman, but his Freshman Team beat the Defending Champion UCLA Varsity ( ranked Number 1) by 37 points in a Freshman- Varsity game...and in Bill Walton's Senior year he was into so much Goofy Stuff such as Vietnam War Protests, Hypnosis, Transmittal Meditation, they lose the Semi Final Game to NC State in Overtime, but would win it again after Walton Graduated, with Marques Johnson, Richard Washington and Steve Patterson. After that season UCLA Coach John Wooden retired...

And don't be afraid to just "go with" a random team you like. Every year there's always wild upsets. There's the cinderella's, the dark horses, and so on. Nobody has ever filled out a perfect bracket. Pretty sure Warren Buffet once offered a billion dollars to the first person who does.
