    Looks like I will need Auburn to win against UVA to win.

    Now I'm conflicted. I do like $100 gift cards.

    RJ Barrett and his missed FT shat on my chance to be number 1.

    $100 shouldn’t be able to buy a man’s soul.

    New dude comes in on March 19, tries to sell tickets, and picks against the Vols to get to the Final Four in order to win the bracket contest.

    You're warming our hearts, man.

    I ended up selling the tickets for a loss if it makes you feel better. And from the vibe, it will make you feel better

    Welp, I had a good run while it lasted.

    Also, the standings mirror real life, with NYY on the bottom.

    At least my winnings here will almost make up for my loss on the ticket sales.

    It does offer some considerable solace to see how many here sold their souls and still lost, and to see verifiable proof that the Top 3 are no better, but were just slightly less awful in committing their Big Orange betrayal.

    Kudos to A-Smith for still finishing fourth, even after picking Tennessee to win it all.

    I won't mention who brings up the rear, while on the bottom, believing it to be completely unnecessary.

    ** IMPORTANT CONTEST UPDATE**
    I think that this is an excellent and safe place to try a little of this socialism that I keep hearing so much about.

    Instead of buying one $50 gift card and sending it to Un, for his meritorious achievement of his 2nd place finish - I'm going to buy 50 cards at $1 each, instead.

    Once bought, I'll send one of the $1 cards to Un (after deducting 70% for taxes, that is) and give the other 49 cards to the worst place finishers on the site - and those who didn't even bother to submit a bracket.

    Because racism. That’s why.
