I've got a shot to win a big one.... the buzztime trivia game that's played in a majority of bars/restaurants in the US and Canada.... I'm in 3rd overall going into the last weekend. Have NC over Memphis in the final... would like to win it!

DT picks were bad, but have 3 pools that I have a legit shot to win.

Indeed correct skipster! My typo... You would be the runner-up should Carolina top Ucla...

congrats! good job beating me. I actually won one of the pools I was in and almost won a pool that included a ton of the bars/restaurants of the US and Canada (buzztime trivia brackets contest).

Beating me with all of that deserves me tipping my hat to you!

Here are your Top 40 finishers... It was a terrific tourney with a particularly thrilling finish... Miraja and Kenny tie atop the standings for prizes.. Congrats! Miraja had more correct games selected, but Kenny had three of the final four and the Final matchup perfect, to get up in the late stages for the dead heat... Dylbert and JW were third and fourth, and I relentlessly closed to be 5th.

Honorable Mention to DaHoss who had the Finals set up perfectly and wins the whole thing if Chalmers misses the shot at the end of regulation. Instead, he settles for 11th..

Thanks to the 50+ who played... Hope all enjoyed it.

Congrats to Miraja and Kenny.

A big thanks to CBS for starting the game at 9:21pm on the east coast.

I did get to see the first 5 to 10 minutes of the game. I'm sure their sponsors are thrilled to pay whatever they paid to have people that work early on the east coast not watch their commercials (I can now watch the game on TIVO and skip the commercials). Even Monday Night Football figured it out and moved their start time up a couple years ago.

I agree Mike...it's as bad as what MLB does to start times of playoffs and World Series. If you're a kid on the East Coast it's got to be hard to watch these games
