And as you would expect with games at this level, they are both close (both are one point games as I type this).
But to add some humor, Katie had to pick her second chance picks – she puts up with this time of year but she really would rather do something else. So, we decided a fun way to do the picks – by random chance.
Katie grabbed a die from our Yahtzee game, and picked the favorite when she rolled a 1,2 or 3 and the upset when she rolled the higher numbers.
I could also see it totally happening, she took the dice all the way to the championship game – Arizona beating Florida and UNC beating Purdue. Then, she rolled the die and it was a 5 – Arizona wins the championship. And she said, I don’t want to pick against North Carolina – that’s grandpa’s school (I thought it was funny the random dice picked UNC and Purdue in the first place).
So, I said – well lets do 2 out of 3 for the championship – she rolled a 6. And she looked at me with a frown. I said, “Do you just want to pick UNC – that is OK – you can do what you want!”. Katie nodded and thus, picks UNC to beat Arizona for the championship. Because that is how we roll at the Lunatic’s house.
