You've made your selections for the March Madness winner. We have 83 entries. Here they are.
Shout out to the person who selected Colgate. Bold.
The winner of the Hub t-shirt will be chosen randomly from all who correctly pick the eventual champion. The championship game will be played on Monday, April 8.
A number of our fans offered their opinions and just a bit of friendly trash-talkin’ from the bleachers. We’ve listed everyone who left a comment on the board. Here’s the staffer, the team they selected, and their comments. Let the games begin!
- Karen Holt – Auburn - Hometown. I really don't follow this.
- Bradley Brown - Colgate - Good toothpaste!
- Mark Morita - Duke - They are projected to have three of the top 5 picks in the NBA Draft and the other starter will probably also go in the first round! They will be the first college ever to have 3 of the first 5 draft picks if it plays out that way.
- Stephan Sprenger – Duke - Just Math
- Pete McLemore – Duke - Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett...need I say more?
- Jake Hanson - Duke - Zion is the MVP!!
- Paul Ruiz – Duke - Why not?
- Terri Shirhall – Duke - ONLY because the Jayhawks had an awful year with 3 key players out due to injury, ineligibility, and personal business. Otherwise, it would've been KANSAS!!
- Stacie Marchetti – Duke - Because it is my sister in law's favorite team and she would kick me if she ever found out I picked someone else :)
- Phillip Macalma – Duke - Zion Williamson
- Ken Bodine – Duke - I'd like to see Coach Mike Krzyzewski take the title one more time before he retires! Go, Duke! Go, Blue Devils!
- Pam Dankbar – Duke - Wild guess.
- Natalie Rickman – Duke - Because they're awesome.
- Mike Dour – Duke – Zion
- Anthony Johnson – Duke - I like their colors.
- Megan MacPherson - Duke - ZION! That guy is amazing, fun to watch. There will be a lot of crowd energy.
- Jeremy Snyder – Duke - Zion Williamson
- Darin Crockett – Duke - Blue Devils rule & and the rest drool
- Patty Pistole – Duke - Just have a feeling. :-)
- Jan Lynch – Duke - Duke will win it all because Zion is back!
- Ray Molina – Duke - Jayhawks won't...
- Chris Pelzman – Duke – Zion
- Janet Vargas – Duke - Zion Williamson
- Brian Jacobson – Gonzaga -Why not?
- Steve Adao – Gonzaga - West Coast Baby
- Jeff Petersen – Gonzaga - This is the year for the Zags. It's been a long time coming and they are too determined to let this one slip by. Even though they were beaten earlier in the season, Zags come out on top. Tar Heels bow to the new champs!
- Will Neville – Gonzaga - No idea, but go Bulldogs
- Laura Lida-Low – Gonzaga - My niece is there right now (I saw a pic of her at a game with her face all painted) and she said they are gonna win!
- Katrina Rostam - Gonzaga - Because I googled it.
- Lisa Carpenter – Gonzaga - Not really sure, but I like the name!
- Art Vogtlin – Kentucky - Calipari and the Cats rock!
- Eric Olsen – Kentucky - Why not?
- Lisa Lozano – Marquette - It's just a wild guess.
- Linda York - Michigan State - My dad's alma mater!
- Grant Caldwell - Michigan State - They Are Awesome!!!
- Larry Winter – Nevada - The Wolfpack made it to the sweet sixteen in 2018, I expect them to be in the final four for 2019- can they make it all the way to #1- Yes!
- Estela Roig - North Carolina - Winner!!!
- Dion Louthan - North Carolina - Because all great coaches have ties to the University of Kansas.
- Kaeley Kroening - North Carolina - Always loved them. Go NC!!
- Traci Bringgold - North Carolina - They destroyed Duke twice out of three games. And never go against a coach who does commercials for Infiniti QX50!
- Karen Stockel - North Carolina - Because nobody likes Duke!
- Kelly Aye – Oklahoma - Because my son likes them. :)
- Shelby Craig - Old Dominion - I like the band
- Stacey Rappleye – Purdue - Their team rocks!
- Jennifer Lane - Saint Mary's - Have to stick with my alma mater! Go Gaels!
- Corey Yeoman - Saint Mary's - St Mary's is like the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody's expecting them so they can sneak up on fools.
- Ellen Worland – Tennessee - Lucky guess
- Mark Riffey – Tennessee - Their road to the finals is loaded with a bunch of high school JV teams!
- John Parente – Villanova - They know how to win championships and have a great coach
- Gabriel Michael – Virginia - Because most will pick Duke
- Scott Miller – Virginia - It's a guess
- Ray Bouknight – Virginia - NEVER PICK THE CINCINNATI BEARCATS!!! THEY WILL DISAPPOINT YOU!!!!
- Kristi Corral – Washington - I have no idea other than I'm always for the underdog :)
