NCAA Tourney Pool Update

[dlgood]

Those who follow college basketball had a crazy weekend, wherein three of the four regional finals went to overtime. And where Maryland advanced to the semi-finals of the NIT Tourney to be played in NYC. My sisters will be going - I have to work.


Last year, sistakaren won - it was a four team race entering the last weekend. This year - it's three - and it comes down to our championship game picks. Based upon a cursory review of the LJ Bracket Challenge Group, here are my projected results depending upon the various title game results:

1. Illinois defeats North Carolina------------------dlgood * (87-81)
2. Illinois defeats Michigan State------------------dlgood
3. Louisville defeats North Carolina----------------dlgood
4. Louisville defeats Michigan State----------------hjcallipygian
5. Michigan State defeats Illinois------------------hjcallipygian
6. Michigan State defeats Louisville----------------hjcallipygian
7. North Carolina defeats Illinois------------------sistakaren * (92-86)
8. North Carolina defeats Louisville----------------sistakaren

* Actual Championship Match pick

Note that if both Louisville and Michigan State win on Saturday, our champ is hjcallipygian

Hee. I noticed that too. Tight race!

But on the up side: I'm already locked in to win my school bracket. Mostly because nearly everyone picked UNC to win, but also because the point system is different over on CBS Sportsline. My first round luck ended up carrying me pretty far. Yay!

And your sisters are going to watch Maryland? That's cool. I have to say, I was sort of tempted to try to get tickets, but then I realized I should probably save my money.

Congrats on the School pool. I hope you get some ca$h money from it.

I thought pretty hard about going up with the siblings for the NIT Games, but I don't have a lot of leave right now. And it was a bit spur-of-the-moment for me.
