Thanks, I'm impressed that 58 had the Big Red beating OSU.

Just out of curiosity, I know myself and cu 77 picked Cornell to go all the way. How many others have Cornell as champs?

Thanks for posting this. 162/251 for Maryland was probably reasonable and yet more proof of the wisdom of crowds. Also happens to roughly match up with the pre-tournament odds.

I can't figure out how to access the bracket (I think) I filled out, but do believe I have Cornell in the final (losing to UVA)
STILL somewhere back in the day....

I once tied for the win of a soccer bracket challenge by picking my home-town University of Akron Zips to go all the way ... and they reached the championship game! So I always pick my fav team, odds be damned.

How could I be a Cornell fan and not pick Cornell? Hell, I even bet my Beloved Jets in the early book to win the Super bowl, every year. Whoops, that reminds me, time to go lose another $50 bucks.

My last big bracket win was with my favorite college basketball team (besides Cornell of course) and that's the UCLA Bruins. I pick them every year to go all the way and way back, I believe in the late 90s, they won it all as about a 6 or 7 seed in the infamous TYUS EDNEY coast to coast winning basket game,I believe in the semis. The coach that year, and his name escapes me got in all sorts of trouble later and was fired.

I won a lot of money with that bracket, but of course have lost it all back as UCLA has had many down years and many early exits.

Ok, assuming MD takes care of business today ( and so far that looks probable),
1. How many brackets had MD, CORNELL, RUTGERS, PRINCETON as their final 4?
2. How many brackets have each 4 as champs?
We know only 3 have CORNELL but what about the other 3? One would assume that about 70-80% have MD?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, obviously just myself, CU77 and The MYSTERY CORNELL fan have CORNELL as champs in the May Bracket challenge, and of course most of the rest of you have the Terps.
1. Who if anyone has a PERFECT BRACKET. Probably no one.
2. Who is leading right now? I would assume it's one of us that has Cornell as champs as MOST never even had Cornell getting to Monday. Probably NOT ME as I had an ALL IVY final and Semi
3. If Cornell does win Monday, then obviously myself, CU77or the mystery guy (come on, reveal yourself) will win the bracket.

Regrettably not me.

On the other hand for what’s far more important, I’ve been saving my hate to go all-in on the final. I needed Cornell in the final.

Off to church. I’m afraid my prayers today involve some unattractive evil. I’ll whisper.
