NCAA Finals - Who Do You Have/How Did you Do in the Office Pool?

Submitted by xtramelanin on April 6th, 2015 at 8:03 PM

Mates,

Finals start in an hour. I picked Wisconsin in my pool to win it all against Duke and I'm sticking with that prediction. Who do you pick and why, and how are you sitting in your office pool?

If Duke wins I win my pool. It's tough to root for them.

In the three brackets I have that are still worth anything, there's two Dukes and one Wisconsin. My position varies from tied for 3rd to sole possession of 15th in the case of one of the Duke brackets. I know people talk about the integrity of the bracket, but I am a bit of a gambling man and I like my numbers.

In any case, the most convenient solution here is asteroid, but I will say that watching the Big Ten take the football and basketball championships for the first time in a very long time would be intriguing.

I have Duke to win it all but, I had a final 4 of ND, AZ, Villanova, and Duke. Almost pulled off the ND over Kentucky upset. I was banking on that.

P.S. I want Wisky to win.

Last time B1G won both BBall and Football championships were in 1960 and 1941.

He is a solid coach and has done pretty well recruiting. They are off our schedule in '16, '18, and '19. Might be a blessing. I do like the Brown Jug tradition though.

I'm really glad Duke beat State. State winning it all would have been real tough to stomach. Having both our rivals win in the same year... o.O

Rooting for Wisconsin tonight. Still hate their guts for that last second 3 two years back, but i respect them. They play tough and mostly clean.

I had three out of the four final fours right.
I had Kentucky Wisconsin Duke and Virginia. I have Duke in the finals beating Wisconsin, if Duke wins I win, if Badgers win then I lose.

My friends and I do a snake draft where you win an allotted amount for each round a team wins. I picked Duke with the 6th pick so I guess I want them to win.

I have enjoyed watching them play since the B1G tournament. If they win it all, they (not Kentucky) could be in the conversation for one of the best teams of all time. They would have beaten all the other final four teams (MSU twice), won the B1G regular season title and tournament title and obviously, the National Championship.

I picked Duke to beat Wisconsin in all my brackets. I've already clinched a win in one of my money pools and I can win a for bragging rights only pool tonight (my sister picked Wisconsin over Duke). Unfortunately, in my most important pool where the winner takes home over $20k, the best I can do is 44th. Still an accomplishment for a 2700 person pool, but there will be no money to show for it.

2013 - Michigan's last loss was Louisville 2014 - Michigan's last loss was Kentucky Both of those teams were in the final. This year, Michigan's last loss was to Wisconsin in the B1G Tournament. Coincidence? I think not... I'll be doing my bracket the same way next year!

I had three of the final four correct, but I had Kentucky over Virginia in the final. If Duke wins my 7 year old daughter wins the whole thing. She had three of the final four correct, but picked ND to upset Kentucky...*so close*.
