Play Roll ‘Bama Roll’s NCAA Tournament Pick ‘Em

Gary CosbyJr.-USA TODAY Sports Time to back up all that smack talk, people. Another season is almost the books, and it’s time for America’s favorite March idyll — bracket pick ‘em. The Pick’ Em this year is on Yahoo! Sports and uses progressive scoring, weighing later round picks heavier than early rounds. It keeps the game more interesting because a bad first round or two won’t necessarily doom you later down the road. There is also a small bonus for picking upsets, especially in the earlier rounds.
