Summary
Otto Schellhammer, a 14-year-old eighth grader from Pennsylvania, has the last remaining perfect bracket for the women’s NCAA Tournament. He has correctly picked the first 48 games, and is just 15 picks away from perfection. Schellhammer knows nothing about basketball and doesn’t regularly watch it, attributing his success to luck. The NCAA has tracked seven of the largest contests for years, and Schellhammer’s bracket is one in 41.2 million.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script. A kid with no basketball knowledge creates a perfect bracket, and everyone wants to know the secret. Schellhammer’s luck was 100% pure, and he’s just along for the ride. He’s still got 15 picks to go, and if he had to do it again, he might pick a different champion. For now, the Longhorns are his pick to win it all.
