And then there were the Final Four





























The Pool's Bracketbuster contest has eight different winning scenarios. I can win the pool in two of those scenarios, yet I can only imagine what might have been.
My strategy going in was to keep all my early round picks the same, the only difference was having four different National Champions.
The thought I did this correctly but sent three of the same file to the Powers that Be of The Pool. So right now, while my four brackets are in first through fourth place, I have only 2 in eight chances of winning.
My best chance of winning is UConn beating Michigan St., and North Carolina beating UConn with UNC winning the title. I can also win if UConn beats Michigan State, Villanova beats UNC and Nova wins the title. The glass half full side of this all is the top three spots cash, and I have a chance to cash in 7-of-8 scenarios.
Right now UConn is a 4-point favorite over MSU, a number I believe is deflated with the so-called home court advantage for the Spartans. It's not going to be that big of a deal, and I believe MSU may have shot their wad against Louisville.
