March Madness Champions

               Jeff made a clean sweep this year selecting the Florida Gators to win the national championship as well as having the most correct picks.  UConn gave them a good run for their money in the second round, but all #1 seeds were able to make it to the Final Four—a first since 2008.  Jeff is a 31-year veteran of our chapter having what it takes to be a champion.    

UConn put forth one of the most dominant March Madness performances significantly outscoring their competitors.  It was a second year in a row running the gauntlet.  They survived the Purdue force that is a Yao Ming equivalent in terms of stature amongst collegiate defenders.

Maureen successfully navigated this challenge correctly slating these two teams in the championship game.  Out of the numerous upsets across the 64 teams, she had the last ones standing onward to victory.  














              











           Just when you thought that the NCAA’s signature event is relatively orderly and predicable, along comes the tournament in which every bracket worldwide got demolished in the first round.  What appeared at first glance as a safe pick based on seeding ended up being anything but.  This was a year of haymakers featuring many smaller schools seemingly doing the impossible. 

Despite all the chatter, William Frater successfully navigated through this year’s turmoil and correctly crowned UConn as the national champs.  He ran the gambit with both the most points along with the most correct picks.  Both the Huskies and William’s victories will be celebrated for years to come.

Congratulations to Tavia Lundquist for winning the second annual IMA Minneapolis Chapter NCAA Bracket Pool!  She cruised to the top of the ranks correctly crowning Kansas as this year’s champion.  Two-thirds of the pool had either Arizona or Gonzaga penciled in to win the championship.  Both the Jayhawks and Tavia’s victories will be celebrated for years to come
