Sigh, so close Butler, so close! That would have been the greatest finish of all time (in my opinion) if that final shot had dropped for Butler. As it is, that was one of the best NCAA tournaments that I can remember. And it was also a really fun year for the pool. I think the scoring system worked very well, and the survivor pool was a fun new idea, though short-lived for a lot of us. I’m not really sure what’s in store for next year. I’d certainly be happy to step aside and let someone else run this thing if they wanted to. Thanks to everyone who came back to play this year! You guys make this a lot of fun and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Congrats to Tony and Bigler for winning the two pools this year! As for the rest of us, better luck next year. Over and out.

…. TONY! Not to kill the suspense, but no matter how this tournament finishes, Tony has won the pool, with Breanna taking 2nd, and Dan K coming in 3rd. Congrats to Tony for a fantastic job of picking teams this year! Next up we have Butler vs. Duke for the championship on Monday night. It will also be Tony vs. Breanna in that game. Amazingly enough, only Tony picked Butler, and only Breanna picked Duke! Everyone else is done and gone.  I’ll be cheering for Butler to win on Monday night. Should be a very hard-fought and intriguing matchup.
