We hear it every day: You’re smarter than us clueless sportswriters. OK, prove it, tough guy/gal. The Mercury News’ online Hoops Hysteria contest will be open today.
As soon as the brackets are revealed - or as soon as technologically possible thereafter - visit MercuryNews.com to register for our free bracket pool. In addition to allowing groups - for co-workers, friends and that great-aunt who picks winners based on the fear factor of their mascots - you’ll be part of an overall contest. Prizes range from a high-definition TV to a Sony PlayStation 3 to, if you’re truly fortunate, lunch with the sportswriter of your choice.
Buzz will play along, as will Mercury News columnists Mark Purdy, Ann Killion and Tim Kawakami and colleges guru Jon Wilner. We make no guarantees about our predictions - but based on our previous bracket showings, that ferocious-mascot idea might not be so bad.
