KIRO 7 Bracket Challenge

SEATTLE, Wash. — KIRO 7's online NCAA bracket challenge is live on kiro7.com, with evening news anchor Steve Raible among the first to make his bracket picks.

Viewers at home can compare their brackets to those of Raible and others by following this link and submitting their own NCAA bracket. The online brackets track both men's and women's tournament play. The grand prize for the online tournament is a $1,000 American Express gift card. Printable brackets are also available.

"This year could really be Gonzaga’s best chance to get to their first Final Four. They have a great offense and defense, play unselfish and are extremely battle tested. When March rolls around, having a dominant big man becomes very important, and Gonzaga has one of the best in center Przemek Karnowski," Raible said.

Other participants include Brad Adam, who is the host of “Mariners Pregame” and “Mariners Postgame” on ROOT Sports, KIRO 7 morning news anchor John Knicely and KIRO 7 reporter Amy Clancy.

The Gonzaga University men's team and the University of Washington women's team will be front and center of KIRO 7's coverage of the NCAA Tournament. Highlights can be seen on the KIRO 7 Wrap Up Show, presented by US Bank, every night after tournament play wraps up on CBS.

The KIRO 7 Bracket Challenge is presented by Hyundai of Kirkland, with president Jim Walen also participating. Prizes are provided by Xfinity.
