The three people with all 4 teams still in will pick up 18 points (1+5 for each game).
TMadison25 will win unless Kansas beats UNC and either Kansas or Memphis wins the championship game; if that happens, Devin will win.

Team (Seed): Score
Davidson (10): 30
Villanova (12): 24
W. Kentucky (12): 24
W. Virginia (7): 14
San Diego (13): 13
Siena (13): 13
Kansas St. (11): 11
Michigan St. (5): 10
Arkansas (9): 9
Kansas (1): 9
Louisville (3): 9
Memphis (1): 9
North Carolina (1): 9
Texas A&M (9): 9
UCLA (1): 9
Xavier (3): 9
Max Score: 211
One of the #1 seeds will move up to 14 points; one will move up to 19 points. The final max score will be 226.
Historically, picking even seeds has been the optimal strategy. This year, the top three teams were evens (all picked by TMadison); the rest were all odds.
