While most people think Monday night’s national championship game is between Kentucky and Kansas, it’s also down to two people in our pool to win the title.
Joyce Alexander is in second place, and has Kentucky winning it all. If the Cats win, Joyce takes the $21 winner’s share and Trista Boyle, who also has Kentucky winning, will take the $7 runner-up money. Had Ohio State won Saturday, Trista would be in the driver seat.
If Kansas wins, Marian Bennett, currently in 10th place, will win it all. Marian is the only person who picked Kansas to win, so she would be the only person to pick up the 32 points for picking the champ. Dan Heckel, currently in first but unable to gain any more points, comes in second if the Jayhawks win. (Dan would like it known he would gladly trade the $7 for a Kentucky national championship.)
No one correctly picked the Kentucky-Kansas final. It’s been a great tournament, here are the standings heading into the final night:
