Niraj's 1420 finished better than 99.2% of the country. Pretty good. Brit finished in 2nd once again, who I'm convinced has the record for most 2nd place finishes.
I somehow finished in 3rd (of legit entries, not counting Niraj's for fun entry) because I was the only other one that had UConn reaching the final game.
My work had a bracket contest with 31 entries. 9 had UConn winning it all. The winner in that league had a 1430, 2nd place had 1400. I finished in 17th place with a 650.
Even though I can only enter one in our friend contest, I did end up making 14 brackets, trying to cover all the things I thought possible. Even with getting 14x the chances, I only had one that beat Niraj's entry.
Just shows how valuable it is to get the Champion right.
Meanwhile in Calcutta, I botched everything. It's true that Kirat took the Champion first overall...but even if I had the first pick, I was going to take Houston.
I thought the clear top 3 was Houston, UConn and Purdue. I thought it would be too unlikely for UConn to repeat and I thought Houston's experience last year would serve them better than Purdue's lack of experience. Basically, I bungled getting the 2nd pick and fell backwards into NC State. My Calcutta game is weak.
And Mark and I did a bonus sweet 16 point-spread bracket and I bungled not taking UConn first overall in that one too. Bad job by me.
