Tonight, of course, is the NCAA Men's Championship game in New Orleans.
The game tonight pits two of the most historically successful programs in all of men's basketball and I would imagine it should be a good game. Both teams won tough games in the semi-finals to advance (much to the disappointment of my son and resident OSU fan, Josiah).
In our little bracket challenge, we find ourselves in a very unusual position where tonight's game is going to be the deciding factor on who wins the bracket challenge. Going in to tonight's game, last-year's second-plac finisher, Andy Efting has a very slim two-point lead in the A Thinking Man's Tourney Time challenge over last year's winner, Andy Rupert. The problem for Mr. Efting, however, is that he picked North Carolina to win it all and has no team in this game. Mr. Rupert, on the other hand, has picked Kentucky to win it all. So, if Kentucky wins, Andy Rupert will repeat as champion, but if Kansas wins, Andy Efting gets to grab the elusive title.
Don Johnson has also performed admirably in this year's tourney -and with Kentucky as his pick, he still has a chance to add some points tonight, as well.
No matter who wins tonight, someone from our little group will have picked the champion, as 3 of the seven picked Kentucky and Sarah (a champion from a couple of years ago who has had a rough tournament) picked Kansas and will be only one to get it right if Kansas pulls off the upset.
Our standings going into tonight's game is as follows.
Rank Player Points Games Champion
1 Andy Efting 221 41 North Carolina (135)
2 Andy Rupert 219 42 Kentucky (138)
3 Don Johnson 198 40 Kentucky (172)
4 Frank Sansone 193 33 Duke (135)
5 Matt Jury 189 36 Kentucky (125)
6 Josiah Sansone 163 32 Ohio St. (147)
7 Sarah Nething 114 21 Kansas (135)
I think I can safely say without offending either team - Let's Go Blue. :)
