Walt's 15th NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament Pool

Updated 9:00 am EDT Tuesday, April 7

It's over - David Smith is the champion and joins the pantheon of previous pool winners below.  Jacob Krispin (for the second year in a row!) and Tom Campbell tied for second.  For want of a team that could shoot free throws, Scott Tonkinson finished fourth.  Congrats to the winners.  Thanks everyone for playing.  See you next year!
