are we picking play-in games, thereby requiring our picks to be in earlier?

I think most bracket groups online are going with due in by Thursday. Traditional paper bracket groups may have discussed this ahead of time, so that people knew to get their brackets in by Monday night-ish or say Tuesday at 5PM? I wouldn't be too surprised if this doesn't change in a couple of years, depending on how the field of 68 works, plus how impacting the First Four games will affect the traditional first round games.

Congrats milwvu04! No matter what happens in the Final 4, you are the winner!

Congrats!

What's the winning bracket look like?

What was the largest correct number of final four teams picked?

It wasn't a great bracket, but I had UConn in the Championship. I forgot that I also had UK beating Ohio State and worked them into the Final Four, so I probably picked up a few points there. I would have liked Ohio State to play on, but had a bad feeling about them losing along the way. I picked Butler and VCU as one-and-done.

It looks like Valpo04 and I had the same teams winning in the Elite Eight through the Championship, but I picked up Sweet 16 teams in UW, Florida, and Richmond.

I'm not sure why, but a few of us have one more point available.
