    Twitter Leaked NCAA brackets early

    NEW YORK -- The first blockbuster upset of March Madness: Twitter over CBS on Selection Sunday.

    The NCAA said Sunday night it is looking into how a copy of this year's tournament bracket got leaked online during the network's extended selection show on Sunday.

    The bracket was being shared on Twitter about 20 minutes after the start of the two-hour broadcast, generating thousands of retweets as Charles Barkley fumbled around with a touch screen monitor making picks.

    "We go through great lengths to prevent the tournament field from being revealed early and the NCAA took its usual measures to protect this from happening," the NCAA said Sunday night in a statement. "Unfortunately, and regrettably, the bracket was revealed prior to our broadcast partners having the opportunity to finish unveiling it. We take this matter seriously and we are looking into it."

    Ya, seriously, just unveil the field for God sake. Instead, we have to sit through an hour of commercials and the opinion of 7 different sets of old ass nba players on every game before finally getting the 68 teams. I was glad I taped the show so I could skip through all the crap.
