12-year-old girl picks perfect NCAA Final Four bracket
A 12-year-old North Carolina girl who before this year had never filled out a March Madness bracket correctly picked the teams competing in the Final Four.
Sasha Anderson, a seventh-grade student, filled out a March Madness bracket for a classroom competition organized by her math teacher at Mountain Island Lake Academy in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The teacher, Denzelle Lawson, gave his students eight minutes of class time to fill out their brackets using just the teams’ records and rankings to make their picks.
He posted the students’ brackets and the NCAA bracket on bulletin boards outside his classroom. When the University of South Carolina upset Duke on March 19, Lawson realized that only one of the 70 brackets was still in contention to be a perfect bracket.

Only 657 out of 18,797,085 2017 NCAA tournament brackets, or 0.003 percent, correctly picked North Carolina, Oregon, Gonzaga and South Carolina making it to the Final Four, according to ESPN.
