Thomas wins the bracket challenge
In our NCAA tournament pool, neither Graham nor I had a team make it out of the Final Four. Thomas had one finalist (Memphis) and even picked them to win. However, they did not win. The ultimate winner of ESPN’s pool scored 1560. Â
Thomas: 1130
Mick:Â 800
Graham:Â 680
Bracket results before Final Four
Thomas picked a good year to pick four #1 seeds and has pulled way ahead of Graham and I in our NCAA tournament pool. It seems unlikely that we’ll catch him now:
Mick:Â 800 (picked three of Final Four)
Thomas:Â 1010 (picked all Final Four)
Graham:Â 680 (picked two of Final Four)
Bracket results after Round Two
I was only able to convince Thomas and Graham to join my NCAA tournament pool but we had fun this weekend tracking the results. After two rounds, Thomas is way ahead of Graham and I:
Mick: 360
Thomas: 450
Graham: 360
Fun with Brackets
Whether you are hard-core fan of college basketball or someone who knows (or cares) nothing about it, it’s always fun to compete with your friends. If you want to compete with me in ESPN’s contest to predict the winners in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, please join my group.
