JAMMER's 2023 MARCH MADNESS CONTEST

[Viejo Dinosaur]

wrong, they are all way off

Yeah….LOL

 

[cheapseats]

Top 3 won't change, congrats.

 

[Jammer]

Murphy's Best can get 2nd with a San Diego St win.

 

[cheapseats]

My guess had little to nothing to do with the posted total. I simply capped Z and 99 looking to hold serve on the under.

 

[Murphy’s Best]

I doubt it but we can hope Jammer.

 

[Jammer]

Looks like these are the winners/potential winners on the contest:

1st- Railbird - 3 wins in 4 years! Amazing accomplishment!
2nd- Computer Bob (UCONN wins), Murphy's Best (SDSU wins)

How is that even possible, funny stuff! GL Bomzee & Cheapseats

Same statement prior to the games fits here too, How is that even possible! sick stuff. Sorry Bomzee & Cheapseats that shouldn't be allowed

Not sure how you explain our choices and results. I had 2 totals written 272 & 274, chose the right one. Also had 2 picks in the april monthly contest and chose the wrong one.

Enjoy the final tomorrow!

 

[ComptrBob]

Sweet 16 Tiebreaker totals (about as tight as you can get without landing on the same number):
Bomzee 275
Cheapseats 273
Sharky99 274

For posterity, Bomzee came early with his total of 275 on Sunday, Mar 26. I thought a bit low, but totals are shaded a small bit to account for a possible OT, so good pick.

On early gameday, Sharky came with 274, so it looked almost certain that one of the two might get tightly boxed.

A bit later, when Cheapseats DM'ed 273, I nearly fell off my chair.

 

[John Kelly]

SHARKY99 should win both showcases.

Keep it. I gave up on that a long time ago. Donate it to a cause you support if you do not want it

How did they lose eight games?

Good line, BIRDIE.

UConn won every NCAA tournament game by double-digits, matching the accomplishments of past champs North Carolina (2009) and Villanova (2018).

Danny Hurley's son, Andrew, played in all six tournament games.

Did he dribble out all six victories?

Always the refs unless Rail has a winner…what a mutt

 

[Jammer]

Congrats to the winners. Residing in CT all my life, it was nice watching them win it all at the Mirage/Hard Rock Sportsbook last night in Vegas. I will be sending JK payment so he can send out to the winners.

 

[Almost Allright]

Thanks Jammer! Look forward to next Mach

NCAA tourney champs Michigan State (2000) and Duke (2001) also won all six games by double-digit margins.
