Well, they would’ve either way, but now they get to go home (Indianapolis) as the West Regional Champs as the #5 seed.  This guarantees that at best, a #5 seed will reach the NCAA Final.  Butler’s 19 turnovers kept Kansas St. in the game but a bizarre, almost 43-second possession by Kansas St in the last minute sealed their fate.  Two actually picked Butler (they should also play the Lottery now), but it only benefited Larzby who retakes the lead.  Cnollfan was the other.  Larzby now has a 4-point lead but it’s Another Two-Peat who is almost guaranteed money at 81.3%.  Ten brackets were eliminated (leaving 23) and only 8 can win first, including a possible 2-time champion for Ken B (25.0%) or Lawrence M (15.6%) (only Robinson C has ever won our pool twice).
