Needed to do some quick checks. Right now, the only movement can happen on the Kentucky / Connecticut side. No one was brave enough to pick either Butler or VCU to get to the championship game. So, that means that those who have the original favorites like Ohio State or Kansas will be rooting for the small schools to stop any potential large amount of scoring.
But, there were 32 people (22 for Connecticut, 10 for Kentucky) who still have a chance to get points in the semi-finals, and 17 of them (11 for Connecticut, 6 for Kentucky) have a chance with them as their champions!
Also, a special call out to Cooper Ams and Deborah Waite who were the only two people to get Butler correct in the SE region. Of course, even with the local fans, no one was brave enough to take VCU to win the SW region. Although we have a few more brave fans in the Second Chance Pool….
So, looks like the pool will come down to the 32 people who have either Connecticut or Kentucky to continue farther in the tournament (and those in the top 10 hoping they have enough points to hold the others off).
