    FWIW Scott is the only person who picked a single team in the Final Four, He had UCONN v Alabama.

    Maybe a special reward for that accomplishment. He must have watched a lot of Big East basketball!!o_O

    Everyone but Scott is done. If Scott's Connecticut gets to the final game he'll tie AJ for the championship. If not, AJ will take home the prize. Congratulations guys. Thanks, Don, for organizing and managing the brackets.

    Scott and AJ battling for the fantasy championship? I think I know what this event signifies.

    ********************
    I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth…

    Ha... I noticed a while back that while I was buried down the list, I still had a lot of points available.
    Blind squirrel is rolling in the acorns this year! :D

    I didn't have Uconn in the finals...shouldn't that be a tiebreaker win for Scott?

    AJ, it sure looks like you're trying to find a way to back out of winning! :p

    But I'm serious....if Scotty gets a team in the championship, and I don't, which is possible, why the tie? That SHOULD BE the tie breaker.

    DISCLAIMER:
    BBall is the least favorite of my sports. Curling is 2 spots above BBall. I almost forgot to make my picks on day 1. Had 22 mins to go, and started picking by what I've heard sports heads say was their choice. No ryhme or reason other than I heard the team mentioned as sweet 16 or final 4 caliber...and now you've heard the rest of the story.

    Me after spending hours of valuable retirement hours researching my bracket picks and realizing that AJ and Scott are kicking my ass.

    UConn vaults me up to the tie with AJ.
    It's a tie Devil Dog, I won't accept a victory based on having the last team in. If I'd picked them to win it all, and they did I might go along, but not just because they made the final.

    I agree Scott, makes no sense to me either. Definitely should be a tie breaker.
