We could all wait until the final horn sounds Monday night to determine who the winner is of the Mount Saint Joseph NCAA Tournament … or I could just tell you now. The name is familiar even if the face isn’t, as Andrew Stelmach, son of Mike and Charlotte, will claim the $21 prize.
Since no one has Connecticut winning it, only the three people who have Kentucky winning can gain any points. And since two of those people are in first and second place already, the only thing left to be determined is the final margin of victory. Andrew leads with 98 points and last year’s winner, Orville Bray, has 87. Had Florida made it to tonight’s game, Orville would have been in first, but you just can’t trust those Gators. He’ll have to settle for $7, which he will happily take for a UK championship. The other person to pick the Cats to win is Sister Jane Miriam Hancock, who will finish in third place with a UK title.
Here are the standings heading into the final game:
