The first bracket-busting game of this year's NCAA Tournament came in the very first game this afternoon after Dayton defeated Ohio State 60-59.

So much for trying to win Warren Buffett's $1 billion bracket challenge.

And with that, a slew of amateur statisticians who filled out brackets predicting how March Madness would shake out this year tore up their picks and flung them into the trash bin - or at least took to Twitter to complain:

My bracket just imploded. One of the first games. New low! #Bracketology #NCAAMarchMadness2014

Rip to my perfect bracket ?

There goes my bracket!

There was also a special breed of complaints from those that entered the Warren Buffet/Quicken Loans challenge that promised $1 billion to anyone with a perfect bracket. Sorry, non-billionaires!

I just lost a billion dollars, how am I supposed to work under this type of stress?
