THE SCENARIOS

 

The members of the Sky's the Limit Club are the only 3 people with points left to be earned. Here are the scenarios (if my math is correct)...

 

  • If Duke and Villanova lose in the Final Four, the above standings will be the final standings. 
  • Luke T. can climb all the way up to 2nd Place with a Coach K National Championship Title & a Villanova Final Four loss. 3rd place is also a possibility with simply a Duke win in the Final Four
  • John E. needs a Nova National Championship Title OR Nova Final Four win & Duke Final Four loss to win the whole thing
  • Robert G. needs a Nova Final Four loss OR a Duke National Championship Title to win the whole thing

Good luck to Luke T., John E., and Robert G. in the Final Four & National Championship. 

 

To the rest of us...

Thanks for doing this.  I went a little crazy with some upsets and surprises. 

 

You're welcome. Do we want a new thread for 2023 or keep it the same? Also, there will be a new "shame" group since Akron is not participating this year. I think it's quite obvious which team the "shame" group will be based on - pick wisely. Remember: morals matter (cough don't cough pick cough KSUcks cough).

I think you're good keeping it here.  There's no time reference in the thread title and it is moving to the top now.

I have been slammed with work and life crap, so I haven't been able to post updates.

 

Here is a tournament overview so far...

 

- 3 teams in the Final Four are making their first ever FF appearance

 

- First ever Elite 8 without a #1 seed

 

- 1 P5 school in the Final Four (UCONN could be considered a P6 school from the Big East in basketball)

 

- A 16 seed beat a 1 seed for only the 2nd time ever.

 

This has easily been the best NCAA Tourney in a while. No blue bloods. College basketball is alive and well.

I agree. Of course the nerds on twitter are starting to say "March Madness is entertaining but it doesn't crown a true champion." Give me a break.
