If Gonzaga beats Duke tomorrow it guarantees me 1st place.....
If Duke wins I will get 4th unless Mich St beats Duke in the final 4.

So basically I have $500 on the Zags tomorrow, otherwise I can still get a giant $0 even with having 7 of the final 8 and 3 of the final 4 if Mich St wins tomorrow.

Do I hedge???????

    By the way.....having the basketball contest and the football bowl game contest on here every year is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    On another note....why did ND waste that last time out??
    They needed that on that last play, thought Brey really screwed that up.

    incredibly hard to say that Brey screwed anything up IMO... in hind site maybe but he put his team in the absolute best position to win that game and unfortunately they didn't win in the end.

    Last play was a disaster. No one but Grant really made a move for the ball, and he got it at his own baseline. He had to race up court dribbling with his head down to the corner of the court. He got off a desperation jumper with 3 guys on him that was basically a prayer. So many shooters on that team, and you didn't even need a three, and that's what you got. Not having a TO there hurt, but terrible scenario the way that play unfolded.

    Let's see.... you have zero invested.... so, go with the flow and bet the Zags on the money line.

    If Duke gets beat by Kentucky in the finals you will still finish 2nd.
    There is a thing in the drop down of the standings that says "what if" that allows you to punch in different winners and it shows you the new standings

    No idea we can win the money. She obviously knows what she's doing because I was knocked out a week ago.
