Basketball starts back up on Saturday, with the championship game concluding the tournament Monday night. They have their dream match up for Coach K, plus many more story lines to bring in viewers this year. Kansas, Villanova, Duke, North Carolina are the remaining teams.
There are eight brackets in our office pool this year, that correctly selected three of the final four teams. Nobody predicted all four teams, but that doesn't happen that often, unless a lot of number one seeds make it this far.

Greetings everyone! Thank you to everyone who submitted pick sheets this year. We ended up with 366 pick sheets in the 2022 bracket contest. The first round has ended, the standings are updated and I hope you caught the Baylor vs North Carolina game. Baylor was down by 25, came back to tie it up, but fell short in the overtime session. So, that means we have lost our first #1 seeded team of the tournament.
If you are new to this office pool, the standings update once per hour, on the hour, after games have completed.
