It Comes Down to This

Tonight it ends. After three fun and exciting weeks of March Madness, a National Champion will be crowned this evening … and a few fortunate folks will walk away with some cash. So here are the scenarios.

North Carolina wins …

Rank Name Points Champion Winnings
1 Bill Waters (4) 154 North Carolina $325
2 Larissa Casebolt 142 North Carolina $150
3 Denny Gibson 129 North Carolina $100
4 Pam Fitzgerald 127 North Carolina $50
5 Aaron Thompson (2) 126 North Carolina $25

Villanova wins …

2 Larissa Casebolt 110 North Carolina $150
3 Cathy Matthews 98 Michigan St $100
4 Denny Gibson 97 North Carolina $50
5 Aaron Thompson (6) 96 Virginia $25

So we know a few of the winners already. On the strength of correctly predicting both Villanova and North Carolina in the championship game, Bill Waters has clinched first place as surprisingly no one in this pool selected Villanova as their national champion. Additionally Larissa Casebolt has secured second place and Aaron Thompson has secured fifth place albeit with two different brackets. Congrats to those who have won and good luck to those sweating it out tonight.
