@  identical Final Four picks.
*  this team has been eliminated.

The upsets just keep on coming .. #1 Michigan lost to #11 UCLA and are out. They failed to make the Final Four. That knocks srini701 out of the podium race, leaving yoyandcigs to chase down ozzz2002 with his last live pick and a dead-heat for 2nd place: #1 Gonzaga to win their next match and play in the final .. we then have a tie-breaker for the silver/bronze medals (ozzz2002 has chosen 69 pts in total for the final, yoyoancigs has chosen 176 pts). If the final is 122 pts or less, ozzz2002 will collect silver.

If #2 Houston win their next match and play in the final, LeoDaVinci will win this by 26 points, a new all-time record winning margin. The current record is 20 points: set by ralzzz in 2008 and then equalled by toocool4u in 2015.

LeoDaVinci has already equalled the record set by the 2019 winner, dg_dave, who won gold without picking any of the Final Four. LeoDaVinci won gold without relying on a Final Four pick.

That completes 60 of the 63 games in this Madness.

yoyandcigs chased down ozzz2002 with his last live pick: #1 Gonzaga to win and play in the final. He won silver via a tie-breaker: ozzz2002 chose 69 pts in total for the final, yoyoancigs chose 176 pts. The final had 156 pts scored.

There were another two tie-breakers in the standings: 5th/6th Sypher (172) & N-Bomb (128), and 10th/11th Howie72 (134) & illiniman14 (186).

LeoDaVinci won this by 18 points .. he fell a mere 2 pts short of the all-time record winning margin of 20 points set by ralzzz in 2008 and then equalled by toocool4u in 2015. LeoDaVinci has already equalled the record set by the 2019 winner, dg_dave (the defending titleholder), who won gold without picking any of the Final Four. LeoDaVinci won gold without relying on a Final Four pick.

LeoDaVinci is the 18th different winner of this Madness in 19 years. No-one has retained their title and N-Bomb is the only player to have won this twice (2011 and 2017).

That completes another edition of this Madness. Thank you linesmen & women, thank you ballboys and girls .. and congratulations to the three medallists!
