Bijan Robinson appears to have quite the knack for basketball. Despite being an Atlanta Falcons running back, he was among the select few who managed to maintain an unblemished bracket after the first day of the NCAA Tournament.
The official NCAA March Madness account showcased Robinson’s bracket days before the tournament commenced, revealing his unsurprising pick of his alma mater, Texas, to emerge victorious.
However, Robinson’s success may have required more than mere luck, as he accurately predicted all five upsets that occurred on the tournament’s opening day. Whether it was sheer intuition or perhaps a stroke of extraordinary luck remains to be seen.

Robinson’s foresight correctly identified 9-seed Michigan State, 11-seeds Duquesne, Oregon, and NC State, and the most remarkable of all, 13-seed Oakland, to progress to the next round. Among the wild brackets out there, Robinson’s flawless prediction stood among the scant 0.0038% that remained unscathed.
Oakland’s monumental upset of Kentucky, fueled by Jack Gohlke’s historic three-point shooting spree, showcased the unpredictability of March Madness. Robinson’s continued success hinges on similarly unforeseen heroic performances, coupled with a strong showing from his Texas squad, currently seeded at 7, to maintain his perfect record.
