After that horrific injury there was really no way Louisville were going to lose that one, kills my bracket and means I won't make the top three, but hope they go all the way now.

Day 8 saw the Final Four decided. LeoDaVinci was the only player to pick the card. There are now a mere eight different combinations of results in this Madness -- see table at the end of this post.
The well has run dry for BxBarracuda and N-Bomb .. they're running dead with no live picks left. Nonetheless, BxBarracuda can still collect gold, if Louisville don't win the final (that's six of the eight scenarios) .. and N-Bomb can still finish with bronze if Syracuse win the final, or Syracuse lose the final to Wichita (three of the eight scenarios).
If Louisville win the final (it doesn't matter who they play), Sarah606 will push BxBarracuda aside and collect gold. Although LeoDaVinci still has a complete set of live picks, he needs Louisville to beat Michigan in the final -- to finish on the podium for bronze behind BxBarracuda with silver and Sarah606 with gold.
That leaves us with ozzz2002 .. he can finish on the podium with a medal (not gold) in five of the eight possible scenarios remaining. If I've done the calcs right, these 5 players are the only ones who can finish on the podium.
We're almost there; this Madness is nearly over. It's a turkey shoot between BxBarracuda and Sarah606 for the gold medal. If Louisville win on Saturday, we won't know the winner of this Madness until the final on Monday. | Wichita v Michigan | Syracuse v WichitaWichita win 224 BxBarracuda 219 ozzz2002 215 Sarah606 211 LeoDaVinci

Day 9 saw the Final Four paly-off for the final and, once again, LeoDaVinci was the only player to pick the card.
All three medals will now be decided on the final day. If number one seed Louisville win, Sarah606 will take first place and the gold medal from BxBarracuda, and LeoDaVinci will take third place and bronze from ozzz2002.
Michigan (4) v Louisville (1) | Michigan win 224 BxBarracuda 222 Sarah606 219 ozzz2002 211 LeoDaVinci
| Louisville win 232 Sarah606 224 BxBarracuda 221 LeoDaVinci 219 ozzz2002
|
Although they're out of medal contention, Howie72, illiniman14 and szabs can improve their final position on the table as they also one live pick left. The rest of us are enjoying our popcorn, watching from the gallery. |

Louisville beats Michigan and Sarah606 scores enough points, on the last day, to overhaul BxBarracuda and win the gold medal! She was leader once, on the last day. She has previously finished on the MM podium once, silver back in 2004. BxBarracuda collects back-to-back silver medals in this comp.
Howie72, illiniman14 and szabs also picked Louisville to win it all.
LeoDaVinci came out of nowhere to steal third base from ozzz2002, by a mere 2 pts .. he finished with perfect picks on the last 3 days. At one stage he was 27 points off the podium back in 12th place! This is his fourth appearance on the MM podium (the previous three in 2006, 2008 and 2010 were all silver). 1. Sarah606 2. BxBarracuda 3. LeoDaVinci This brings to an end the 12th edition of Madness here at FT, and our 12th different winner. This breaks the FT record .. the NFL comp ran for 11 years and saw 11 different winners, before a repeat winner emerged.
One day someone will win this twice; this can't go on forever .. and then we'll wait for someone to retain their title. Thank you linesmen and women, thank you ballboys and girls .. and congratulations to the three medallists! | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | Lord Andry gtho4 TemplarLLM Sypher thejazzkickazz | 38 64 39 62 37 60 34 58 35 56 | izzi gtho4 rudogg marchmadness ElfTwinkle | 46 59 45 53 42 49 40 47 39 47 | wez Sarah606 gtho4 izzi JuniorTheJaws | 37 216 39 212 41 208 40 195 28 185 | ElfTwinkle kevinatilusa . . linkan Sarah606 Blinkybill | 43 220 41 212 38 194 37 183 26 181 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | Blinkybill LeoDaVinci ElfTwinkle . . gtho4 dg_dave | 32 205 33 189 39 189 36 184 34 181 | Howie72 dg_dave Nannanut Blinkybill DakotaNorth | 51 260 50 253 50 244 48 235 47 226 | ralzzz LeoDaVinci doomed Nannanut JuniorTheJaws | 46 243 43 223 42 215 44 213 43 212 | jonnowales dg_dave Sypher ralzzz LeoDaVinci | 49 256 46 248 47 238 44 219 42 218 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | illiniman14 LeoDaVinci jonnowales themonarch kevinatilusa . . | 39 223 39 221 39 219 39 213 38 210 | N-Bomb rxbigdawg toocool4u Sypher illiniman14 | 38 210 35 192 37 191 37 180 35 178 | George95 BxBarracuda Howie72 themonarch srini701 | 41 237 38 232 41 226 38 220 40 216 | Sarah606 BxBarracuda LeoDaVinci ozzz2002 N-Bomb | 42 232 37 224 41 221 39 219 39 210 |

Well done to Sarah, BxB and LDV, and great work from George, making sense of all those numbers.

Here's my post! Congratulations to Sarah and BxB for helping me fill out the podium. I'll make sure to win this next year and then we'll have 13 winners from 13 years.  Thank you George for writing it all up.
