However, people started to lose it online because the website crashed as they tried to get their picks in.
Nice @CBSSports . I'll never use your stupid website again. Thank you @espn for working today!
Some said they tried for at least a half hour to get their picks in, to no avail.
@CBSSports you realize your website stopped working 30 min before brackets were due, right? #cbsfailed
Others said they had problems for two hours.
