2026 - St. Johns

A Darling of a buzzer beater

278 brackets correctly selected St. John’s to upset #4 Kansas following the buzzer beater by Dylan Darling.

Kansas, who is the most picked team in pool history, was chosen by 51% of the pool to advance to the Sweet 16.

And now St. John’s advances and 14-year pool veteran Steve Schirber pushes past Danny Payne to overtake the top spot in the standings.

FWIW, only 59 brackets have St. John’s picked to upset Duke.

Two brackets even have St. John’s to win it all:

  • Derek Schairer 1
  • Robert Venditti 2
