The brackets are set and it's time to put your predictions to the test!
State of play: Our March Madness Challenge is here.
Zoom in: With the Wildcats a top contender on the men's side and the up-and-coming ASU women looking to make a name for themselves, we've got some local rooting interests in both tournaments.
How it works: Sign up for our Axios Phoenix group on ESPN and enter a bracket for the men's or women's tournaments — or both!
The password to enter the group is "Axios."
Entries must be completed by the time the first games tip off — Thursday at 9:15am for the men and Friday at 9am for the women.
That means you can wait and see if the Sun Devils win their No. 10 seed play-in game and make it to the round of 64 before submitting your bracket.
The intrigue: Are you a diehard college basketball fan who pored over data to make your predictions? Or did you choose based on whose mascots you like best?
Tell us how you created your bracket once you've submitted it.
The bottom line: The winner gets bragging rights and a shout-out in this newsletter.
