Great run by Bama BB Team! SEC Champs and Sweet 16! Fell apart at the FT line tonight and poor ball handling caused too many TOs compared to UCLA. Exciting shot to send us to OT. Good season

Seems like the bracket contest might come down to the wire. Jacob and I have identical Final Fours but different champions. No saying we're the only two left with a chance to win, but I think we have the highest potential max points left.

Looks like we are down to 3 with a possible chance to win it. Me, you, and Jeremy (sorry, not sure which member this is). The championship game is actually irrelevant when it comes to determining the winner at this point.

If my math is correct, the only scenarios are:

Houston advances: I win regardless of Gonzaga/UCLA
Baylor advances: Jeremy wins if Gonzaga advances, Evan wins if UCLA advances

I'd think the highest odds would be on Jeremy to win, Gonzaga and Baylor are both pretty heavy favorites.

Also I can't lose to the Jacob 2 bracket, which was the most important one for me to beat in this challenge. :D
