I'll be @ the Midwest Regional. Hoping for a UNC/KU final just so I can see what I could fetch for a single ducat between those 2 heavyweights.

In January, nobody thought the Badgers would make the Elite 8?

In January the Badgers didn't show much. They supposedly played good defense because of low scoring games but when your offense is so easily stalled to the point where you're just having Taylor jacking up shots with 3 seconds left on the shot clock, you need a lot of things to go right for an Elite 8 run.

Final Results

GopherWarrior, ILgopher, Royal Gopher, Sal and SelectionSunday finish with 7 of the 8. Dr. Don gets 6, Big Play gets 5.

 

[Dr.Don]

Wow, I picked 6 of 8 correct and still ended up in 6th place out of 7 entrants. I am either the worst of the best, or the best of the worst.

That's what you get for speculating.
