Championship Possibilities

With Duke and Villanova going down in the semi-finals the possibilities in our EQE March Madness tournament are now clear.  Either Newman2 or RaleighGoodBracket will take the 2022 Championship, depending on whether North Carolina or Kansas, respectively, win the NCAA Championship game.  Did RaleighGoodBracket pick Carolina to win?  Hardly.  Actually nobody picked Carolina to win.  Nor did anyone pick them to make the Final Four.  In fact, only two entries picked Carolina to even make the Elite Eight and both of them are long gone.  

In short, you pretty much had to have picked Kansas to make it to the Final Four to have any chance at all.  Surprisingly only five entries had them taking the title despite them being a number one seed.  

The unexpected twists in this year’s tournament have presented us with a possible record setting year.  Should the Tarheels somehow with the Championship game we would set an all time record for the lowest winning score.  Now that’s something to be proud of!  It wouldn’t be the first time that nobody picked the winner, but this year was beset with an unusually large number of high seeds falling early.  Which just makes it that much more fun, right?  Errr, maybe not.

If Kansas ends up winning the Championship we will still have one of our lowest winning totals ever, tied for third lowest.  

Here are the two scenarios for Championship Monday if you haven’t already found the report from the menu above.  If you are out of the running you should have or soon will be receiving information from one of your pool administrators on how to pay up.  For any questions, please contact us at hoopsmaster@eqemarchmadness.com
