Survive and Advance

Well kids the first couple of rounds have come to a close, we move on to the final four, and we have4 finalists!   First off again a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated you guys ROCK, 2nd off, thank you finalists I have all your final four picks you guys are awesome too, and third off how crazy was this tournament.  I will also note this is the closest this contest has ever been the West, Midwest, and South all came down to the wire.   Here I was thinking how depressed I am Purdue is not in it, and I didn't miss a minute of the crazy action, I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!!!!    Here are the final standings from each region

SOUTH- This was my real life friends bracket and Jenn who picks the teams alphabetically actually had a shot since she took Dayton so far.  This region actually came down to the final game had Florida lost Bekah and Cara would have tied and both would have advanced.  Congrats Cara! 
1- Cara = 20 pts
2- Bekah = 13 pts
3- Jenn = 11 pts
Phats = 17pts

EAST- So far Shife might be my most consistent performer in the bracket contest who has never won I feel like he's always in the final four this might be his year to shed bridesmaid status and be a bride shife!  This region actually came down to a sweet 16 game had Virgina beaten Michigan State Phoenix would have moved on.  Here are the standings
1- Shife = 17 pts
2- Phoenix = 16 pts
3- Duck = 8 pts
Phats = 19 pts

WEST- I put the engaged couple and Travis( :) ) in this bracket Emily actually beat Topolk so she she get breakfast in bed for a week or something right?  However, Travis beat both of them with his pick of Wisconsin, and that was the game it came down to Arizona vs Wisky smart pick Travis.  Here are the final standings
1- Traivs = 26 pts
2- Emily = 25 pts
3- Topolk = 22 pts
Phats =  25pts

MIDWEST- Another interesting region Design Goddess who I want to give major props to as she almost won this region for someone that doesn't follow basketball way to go unfortunately the bounces didn't go her way.  Rocket won this region and survives to try and defend his title I have never had anyone win back to back can Rocket do it?  Here are the final standings
1- Rocket 17 pts
2- Design Goddess 15 pts
3- Emily 12 pts
3- Booya 12 pts
Phats = 17 pts
