Most everyone got killed by North Carolina bowing to Utah over the weekend. Burrage takes the whole tournament!! Nobody has Utah and so nobody can pass him! Michael Rooney brings home 2nd place with the same picks as Burrage for the last couple of rounds.
Congratulations!!!
Let me know right away if I have goofed up any of these calculations and good luck to everyone!
