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?

Too bad Jackson missed the bunny at the other end. Typical Wisco missing the gimmes.

Traevon Jackson has to be the most overhyped player in the country, constantly out of control and just an awful jump shooter. Koenig just seems like such a step up when he's on the floor.

There was constant talk that he was a huge loss for the badgers while he was injured, and I don't think think they ever really missed his Eso Akunne type of game.

The last few years he was the leader on the team and took big shots for them, in this game he has had a couple plays where he was out of control but he has also been a spark plug for their offense

Eso akunne barely saw the floor, Jackson two or three year starter.

and it bodes well that wiscy took duke's (probably) best shot and now has a 1-pt lead.

Duke have played better teams in the ACC. The fact that Duke apparently can't get in a Wisconsin players way without a whistle means that Duke can't really play defense.

for posting the Block M with red on any part of it. If I had the ability to downvote you some 45,000 more times like you deserve for such an offense, I certainly would!

Our office puts all 64 teams in a hat and 8 of us pick 'em. -- winner take all. I got Duke. No skill -- just lick. Dook beat sparty so I'm happy with that regardless of what happens.

Have Wisconsin winning it all. Everyone in my bracket said I was insane as all but one other picked Kentucky.

Either way, I'm already walking away with money tonight, so I can't complain. Just happy to have it be a good game, and not having to see MSU in this game and more of an Izzo slurpfest.

Offensive boards kept Wisconsin in great position in the first half though they played a bit out of sync. UK talent showed in the first half and most of the second, then W's composure finished it off.

Any signs of foul trouble for the Duke wonder-frosh and this could get away from Duke.

Why does CBS insist on using that gopher's-eye view from the sideline camera shot so much? Is there anyone in history that has liked that? Do they get any positive feedback whatsoever on it?
