Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson can officially do it all, both on and off the field. Robinson is one of just 1,825 people to go 16-0 in his March Madness bracket following the first day of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Analyzing Bijan Robinson’s Undefeated March Madness Bracket
While the Falcons made several moves this offseason, Robinson might steal the spotlight with this remarkable feat. Over 22,000,000 brackets have already been busted, yet Robinson’s bracket remains alive after an undefeated start through the first half of the opening round.
Robinson’s predictions are shocking considering the number of upsets that we’ve witnessed in just the first 16 games of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. It’s called March Madness for a reason, and the tournament certainly lived up to its namesake.
The biggest upset was No. 14 seed Oakland’s impressive win over No. 3 seed Kentucky. Oakland’s senior guard Jack Gohlke caught absolute fire in a ridiculous display of three-point shooting. Gohlke finished with a game-high 32 points, including an absurd 10 made three-pointers.
Sure enough, Robinson picked Oakland to pull off the upset. Yet, that wasn’t the only upset that the Falcons’ rising star predicted correctly. No. 11 seed Duquesne escaped with a win against No. 6 seed BYU. The Cougars went cold from three-point land, shooting just 33.3% from deep. Meanwhile, the Dukes were able to close out a tight game down the stretch, despite leading by as many as 14 points in the second half.
What Are Bijan Robinson’s Upset Picks To Watch for in the Future?
Following Robinson’s undefeated start to his bracket, it’s hard not to take a look ahead and see what upset picks he made in future matchups. In the second half of the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, Robinson has No. 15 seed Western Kentucky shocking No. 2 seed Marquette on Friday.
Robinson also has No. 12 seed Grand Canyon defeating No. 5 seed Saint Mary’s. However, that isn’t where Robinson’s affinity with Grand Canyon ends. They appear to be Robinson’s pick for a Cinderella story, as he has them advancing all the way to the Elite Eight in his bracket.
Considering Robinson’s success through the first half of the first round, it’s worth keeping an eye on his future selections. The other double-digit seed that Robinson has making a deep run is No. 11 seed North Carolina State. Robinson has the Wolfpack reaching the Sweet 16 before being eliminated by No. 1 seed Houston.
