You’re hardly the only person whose March Madness bracket is in shambles this morning. Thursday’s victory by Princeton has lowered the number of perfect brackets to less than 1%—way less. According to the NCAA, just 0.065% of all brackets are still perfect after the Ivy League’s surprise victory over No. 2–seeded Arizona (the team President Joe Biden picked to win it all).

Princeton had been ranked No. 15 before the tournament began. The Tigers battled the Arizona Wildcats to a one-point game at the half, but in the second half, Arizona took a commanding 10-point lead and looked set to wrap things up. Princeton, though, went 9-0, leading to a final score of 59-55.
