How to enter and win USA TODAY Sports’ March Madness Survivor Pool
Filling out a March Madness bracket is a daunting task.
Compared to correctly predicting the fate of 68 teams through six rounds, the USA TODAY Sports’ March Madness survivor pool games appear to be a much more accessible challenge.
Here are the keys to winning the survivor pool.How UCLA men’s basketball thrives under Mick Cronin — with some help from a dog bone
How Mick Cronin went from being perceived as an underwhelming hire by UCLA almost four years ago to the coach who has revived the school’s basketball program is best illustrated by, well, a dog bone.
It measures two feet long.
It travels with the second-ranked Bruins.
It represents what Cronin has instilled in his players, who along with the dog bone are in Las Vegas this week competing for the Pac-12 tournament title and possibly a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas might be kicking itself for a while after no-showing against the Longhorns, but a run to the Final Four will make everyone feel better and forget about this performance.
These are the winners and losers in men’s college basketball ahead of Selection Sunday.

Five most overpaid men’s college basketball coaches
Some of the most successful coaches in college basketball rank among the nation’s highest-paid, including Kansas coach Bill Self and Virginia’s Tony Bennett. But there are many more coaches struggling to match the expectations that come with a contract worth multiple millions in annual salary.
That includes the highest-paid coach in the sport, Kentucky’s John Calipari, who is earning $8.5 million in total compensation with a contract that runs through the 2028-29 season. After being knocked out in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats have spent most of this season unranked and on the tournament bubble.
USA TODAY Sports compiled pay information from each school in the Power Five conferences and from each school outside those conferences whose team has appeared in at least three of the past five NCAA tournaments.
