Ashlee: COMING UP, WE'LL UPDATE YOU ON THE I-75 DRIVE. Rhonda: TWO OF MICHIGAN'S BASKETBALL PROGRAMS ARE HEADED TO THE BIG DANCE. Guy: MICHIGAN AND MICHIGAN STATE KEPT US THRILLED THIS WEEKEND AND HAVE EARNED SPOTS IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. NEITHER OF THEM HAVE TO GO VERY FAR TO PLAY THE FIRST ROUND GAME. Rhonda: ALL THE FANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS CAN WATCH THE GAMES AND BOTH BEGIN THEIR QUEST ON THURSDAY AT THE PALACE OF AUBURN HILLS. THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU, OF COURSE, IS TO FILL OUT THE BRACKETS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. Guy: GOTTA FEEL THE FORCE! OUR LAUREN PODELL JOINS US LIVE WITH EXPERT ADVICE ON AVOIDING THE BRACKET-BUSTERS! Lauren: GOOD MORNING! I'M NO EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO BRACKETS. THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR FILLING ONE OUT, SO I HAD TO TURN TO SOME OF THE EXPERTS TO FIND OUT THE TIPS AND TRICKS. THAT'S WHY I'M SURROUNDED BY THE GAMES ON THE SCREEN. AND, OF COURSE, OUR "EXPERIENCE THE MADNESS" WEBSITE AT CLICKONDETROIT.COM AND WHEN IT COMES TO FILLING OUT YOUR BRACKET, WHERE DO YOU START? I'VE LEARNED TEAM COLORS PROBABLY ISN'T THE PLACE. THIS PIECE OF PAPER MIGHT BE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WRITE ON ALL MONTH. PLAN ON FILLING OUT A BRACKET FOR THE NCAA TOURNAMENT, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. 57% OF BUSINESSES WILL HAVE A WORKPLACE POOL. GET YOUR PENCILS READY. USING PEN COULD BE RISKY. BEFORE THE FIRST TWO TEAMS HIT THE COURT, FILL IT OUT FROM THE INSIDE OUT SO YOU DON'T SACRIFICE GOOD TEAMS TOO EARLY. START WITH WHAT YOU THINK WILL WIN, WORKING YOUR WAY BACK TO THE FIRST GAME. AND EXPERTS SAY LOOK AT THE THIRD OR FOURTH NUMBER ONE SEEDS. OF COURSE, RESEARCH THE NUMBERS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE RATING PERCENTAGE INDEX AND SHOW YOU HOW CERTAIN TEAMS MATCH UP AND THE STRENGTH IN SCHEDULE. AND FINALLY, TRUST YOUR INSTINCT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO WITH YOUR GUT. WHAT ABOUT TEAM COLORS? TOO AMATEUR? SINCE 2003, NO TEAM WITHOUT BLUE IN THEIR COLORS HAS WON A CHAMPIONSHIP, JUST SAYING. AND TRUST ME, THAT IS NO DIG AGAINST MSU FANS OUT THERE. I DO LOVE TOM IZZO. BACK TO THE WORKPLACE POOLS, $3.3 BILLION WILL BE IN THOSE WORKPLACE POOLS FOR THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. WHILE SPORTS BETTING CAN BE FROWNED UPON, MOST OFFICES SAY THAT THEY WILL TURN A BLIND EYE, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY CLICKONDETROIT.COM HAS PUT THIS LITTLE BOSS BUTTON HERE ON OUR MARCH MADNESS PAGE. THAT WAY, WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO FILL OUT YOUR BRACKET, CLICK THAT AND BOOM! MAYBE A SPREADSHEET POPS UP. HOW ANY OF THEY IS THAT! I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE I'M LOOKING AT GLOBAL SALES BY THE REGION. [LAUGHTER] Rhonda: MYSELF, ANDREW AND ASHLEE, TALK ABOUT OUR ALMA MATERS, BUT BOTH YOU LAUREN AND SHAWN, YOUR TEAMS AREN'T IN. UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON. AND OAKLAND UNIVERSITY FOR YOU, LAUREN. SO SHAWN FIRST, WHO ARE YOU PICKING TO WIN IT ALL? Shawn: IS LAUREN IS GOING FOR THE BLUE THING, BUTLER'S MASCOT IS NAMED BLUE. THAT CAUGHT MY EYE. I NEVER PICK. LET'S HOPE FOR MICHIGAN AND MICHIGAN STATE TO THE GO TO THE FINAL FOUR, THAT WOULD BE THE MOST EXCITING. I NEED A TICKET TO DAYTON, INDIANA IS THERE, TEMPLE IS THERE, AND THERE WILL BE GREAT BASKETBALL! Rhonda: TELL ME ABOUT IT. HOW ABOUT YOU, LAUREN? Lauren: IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO CHEER ON THE GOLDEN GRIZZLIES. I SAY MSU AND THE GOLDEN GRIZZLIES WILL MAKE NIGHT THE FINAL FOUR. AND I THINK LOUISVILLE WILL TAKE IT ALL, BUT I WILL GO WITH U OF M AS AN UNDERDOG TO PLAY INDIANA IN THE FINAL FOUR. BUT MY FINAL MATCH-UP IS LOUISVILLE AND INDIANA. Rhonda: SHE IS WAY AHEAD OF ALL OF US! [LAUGHTER] Ashlee: NC STATE COULD BE A BIG UPSET FOR INDIANA IN THE BRACKET. AND MICHIGAN STATE, AS WELL. I WILL BE PULLING FOR OUR BIG 10 TEAMS. I THINK THERE COULD BE A LOT OF UPSETS. I FEEL LIKE MIAMI IS AN UNDERDOG, A GOOD NUMBER TWO SEED. Guy: LET THE DEBATE BEGIN. SIGN UP AT CLICKONDETROIT.COM. WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS. Rhonda: AND YOU CAN ENTER TO WIN TICKETS TO SATURDAY'S GAME AT THE PALACE BY SIGNING UP AND
