After fourteen days the NCAA Championship has been whittled down from 68 teams to four and the EQE March Madness Tournament has been thrashed and abused by so many surprises and twists that only nine entries stand any chance at all of finishing in the money. Of those, only two, EQE Sedan and Bruininthedark, have a chance of winning it all. Among the rest it’s a contest to see who can grab the remaining four paying places.
The various possibilities can be accessed by clicking on the Status Reports link on the menu above and choosing the Final Four report (or click on the link provided to save time and energy). On there you will find that EQE Sedan will walk away with it all under the majority of combinations, most of them involving any team but UConn taking title, but if UConn or the ninth seeded Florida Atlantic win it all, Bruininthedark will grab bragging rights. Good luck to both!
We can now report that the race for the Brandy Award has finally been decided with Bruin04 snatching “victory” away from Bruin03 thanks to the thrashing than Connecticut laid on Gonzaga (also knocking out eight entries for the pool title, for that matter). With a score of 49, it can now be revealed that long time and enthusiastic participant, Jeff Baum, gets a free entry in next years tournament – and really there should be some kind of recognition for also garnering the next to last place finish, don’t ya think?
