Happy to run it - fun contest!

Looks like if UConn and Purdue win, you and MJ would be tied going into the National Championship.

**jackpot269** · 04-01-24, 11:47 AM

I need a Bama and Purdue win in this contest.

good luck I see you edited your original post

**jackpot269** · 04-01-24, 11:58 AM

I put Uconn instead of Purdue. I've talked so much about how good Uconn has looked my figures just typed it.

looks like mr. leisure would be first if that happened and then myself. But Bama beating Uconn would a huge, huge upset. They look almost unbeatable this year. In the tournament for sure.

**dkp** · 04-01-24, 01:45 PM

Thanks for the contest and the hard work. Much appreciated

I've got no shot; I thought the points doubled each round, but they don't. just go up 1 each round.

**packerd_00** · 04-02-24, 12:44 PM

New Mexico really crippled any chance I had.

**Easy-Rider 66** · 04-05-24, 08:40 AM

Bump.

**EmpireMaker** · 04-06-24, 06:11 AM

I still have UConn and NCSU I can't win but I think I could win a prize still if ncsu wins it all

in looking at those above you I think you would fall outside the Money spots (top 5) even if State wins it.

**Easy-Rider 66** · 04-06-24, 01:19 PM

unless you have Bama too and they beat Uconn.

I'll look closer if my two teams win, otherwise it doesn't matter.

**A Quant** · 04-07-24, 06:37 AM

Well, I'll say thank you again. Andy, much appreciated.

It comes down to the Championship game.

If Purdue wins, I win.

If UConn wins, MJSuax13 and I split.

Thank you once again!
