It'd be especially annoying to have a respectable 16-4 record in picks but then lose my champion pick.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Nearly everybody in our pool has MSU in the FF, and many have them winning it all. Certainly them losing will mitigate my Purdue pick, but Stu is lurking like a crack-addled vampire in the shadows, as this will open that region up to his pick, UVa. Damn it!

According to the odds tracker, MSU has righted the ship. Down only 3 now with almost 9 minutes to go, they have a 60% chance of winning...

Even people who didn't have MSU winning it all, most of them had MSU in the finals. Their brackets are toast. It's basically down to me and Stu, and an ancient enmity is awakened anew...

My hopes are pinned on west virginia who I threw in the final four as kind of a bullshit flyer out of the East.

I think MAYBE I can still win if Virginia doesnt make the Final 4 and Villanova and WVU do.

I assume you're talking about the Temple game. They're down 3 with 2 seconds to go, guy is on the free throw line and hits both. WTF?
