This neuropsychologist has the only perfect March Madness bracket — here's how he did it via CNBCMakeIt
div > div.group > p:first-child"> "A lot of this was luck, for sure," Nigl, a 40-year-old neuropsychologist from Columbus, Ohio, says of his unprecedented streak.
"We've been tracking brackets for years and, before this tournament, the longest streak we'd ever seen was 39 games in a row. That was an incredible feat. This shattered it," NCAA.com wrote about Nigl's success. Nigl also admitted that he almost didn't even fill out the bracket that is currently perfect. He filled out four different brackets overall, but the only that remains perfect was one that he didn't fill out until a few hours before the deadline a week ago, hours before the first March Madness games started.
"The secret? Watching a lot of Big 10 basketball, catching some of the bigger [NCAA] games like North Carolina-Duke, and then I always watch 'Bracketology' [on ESPN] on Selection Sunday. And, then a lot of luck too," Nigl said in an interview on NBC's"The Today Show" on Thursday.
And in another case, a personal connections to one part of the country helped Nigl pick one of the tournament's biggest early-round upsets: 13th-seeded University of California, Irvine's surprising win over No.4 seed Kansas State last Friday.
