Well, I did not see that coming. And judging from everybody else's performances as well, neither did you. Out of the 23 people in this year's pool, 16(!) didn't get a single Final 4 team correct. The other 7 people successfully picked just one Final 4 team. I don't think anything like that has ever happened before. Only two people still have their national champion left, so congratulations to Stina and Erika for accomplishing that. Erika, however, cannot win because Stina is ahead of her in points and they both have Connecticut winning it. So sorry to burst your bubble Erika. The only other person who can win the pool is Jessica, who has Kentucky reaching the championship game. So our pool will actually be decided before the championship game even takes place. If Connecticut beats Kentucky on Saturday, then Stina is our champion. If Kentucky knocks off Connecticut, then Jessica is our winner. To the rest of you who have been eliminated (myself included), better luck next year. Here are the updated standings. An asterisk indicates that you can earn no more points.
1. Dave E. - 67* (way to go Dave!)
1. Stina C. - 67
