Question:

what's a basketball bracket?

I keep hearing people saying thank you kansas you just killed my bracket what do they mean by this?

Answer:

I was going to ask the same question.
They are talking about the NCAA Men's college basketball tournament bracket. It has all 64 teams that made the tournament and people like to predict what teams will win. It is pretty fun, but it stinks when your team loses, b/c when you lose you are out of the tournament.
It is a chart for the NCAA tournament. Half the teams on each side. Then both sides are split into two parts. It starts off with 64 teams, then 32, then 16, then 8, then 4, then 2. Each time a team wins, they go on to play the winning team of two teams next to them in the bracket. The final four is the two games between the four groups, and then the championship is when the winning two teams from each side play. The winner is the NCAA champion/number one team in the Nation. People are saying that Kansas screwed up their bracket because they were the number one team in their group and they lost to a team ranked lower than them, which no one saw coming. Some people have money going on their guesses, others just have their pride going on it.
