NCAA Tournament Final
Orville Bray, participating in his first Mount Saint Joseph NCAA Tournament, won the $30 and more important, the prestige of being our champion. In a shocking turn of events, Marian Bennett came out of nowhere to capture second place and $12.
Katie Risley was done in when Michigan defeated Syracuse on Saturday. I inadvertently thought Monday’s outcome would have little effect on the money winners, until I realized that Andrew Stelmach was one of the seven people who did not pick Louisville to win the title. That opened the door for Marian to squeak into second, one point ahead of Mike Stelmach and two points ahead of Trista Boyle and Bryan Dant.
Here are the final standings.
