Six entrants in the BTP men’s tournament pool correctly picked Kansas to win the national championship, and should be applauded for their imagination. It never even occurred to me that Kansas would win the title this year. But there the Jayhawks were at the end, slow-playing the Tar Heels such that UNC surrendered the largest lead in NCAA title game history. Thank you, Kansas. It was beautiful.
Our men’s pool champion this year is BanjoWolf, who had both Duke and UNC in the Final Four and Kansas winning it all. That’s either good quality guesswork or a fine example of how assuming the worst as a State fan tends to prove well-founded.
