And UCLA came back from nine down with an 11-0 run to close the game and win by two over 'zaga! Wow!

Sentimental favorite Bradley lost to Memphis.

OMG, Villanova just squeaked one out, despite their lousy shooting. Serendipity baby! Rollie is in the house.

I think that if Florida beats Villanova, RB wins no matter what else happens

But.....

If Villanova beats Florida and Memphis beats UCLA, JL would win regardless of what RB does.

For PL to win, Memphis and Villanova would have to both make it to the finals; it wouldn't matter who won the title game.

I'm not 100% sure about these, and there may be other scenarios to consider as well, but there are still too many possible combinations to work them all out.

WOW

This year's tournament has had more unbelievably exciting finishes to games than any I can remember.

OK....I'm pretty sure here now:

JL is out of it.

If Villanova beats Florida and George Mason, PL wins.

That's all that matters.

Regardless of anything else that may happen, if Villanova does not beat Florida and George Mason, RB wins.

Congrats RB.

Heading into the Final Four, it's all over but the race for second place.

JG can pick up another 120 points if Florida beats George Mason, which would push him past TB and DB.

I think it's fair to say that we all did pretty miserably.

760 is a very low score to win one these things with - altho I imagine that with no #1 seed in the Final Four and a #11 making it, that's gonna pretty much be the case in everyone's pool all over the world - and out of the eleven of us, we have three people (RB, DB, and JG) with only one team (Florida) in the Final Four, with no one giving Florida a chance to advance...

I finished in my usual position-last. One of these years all the upsets that I pick will actually win.

JG has Florida advancing

That's what he needs to finish second.

Men's Final
Code:
RB    760
JG    750  ...120 pts in semis helped
DB    710
TB    660
IM    580
JL    560
TL    550
JB    540
PL    490
MC    470
PG    470
Too bad I didn't pick FLA to win

Women's Final (no PPR for anyone)

Code:
IM   1230   
JB    880
PL    870
JG    570
IM could go 1350 in another bracket with a Duke win (160 PPR).
