Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton is calling out March Madness fans who fill out multiple brackets, calling it 'just so lame.' He insists on making one bold choice and standing by it.
Haliburton, an Iowa State alum and Olympic gold medalist, made waves on X with his stance: 'Make one bracket and stand on it.' He argues that creating numerous brackets shows indecision, not strategy.
While he acknowledges some fans make one sentimental bracket for their alma mater and another logical one, he picks only Iowa State-despite long odds. The Cyclones are a No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region after a 27-7 season.
'I didn’t blink when I made that decision,' Haliburton said. 'We’re battle-tested. We play in the best conference in basketball-the Big XIII.'
He’s also partnering with Reese’s for its Bracket Busting Campaign, encouraging fans to share busted brackets using #ForAReesesSweeps for a shot at Final Four tickets and free candy.
'Everybody’s bracket is going to bust. Might as well win something out of it,' Haliburton said.
