You and I are the highest in the standings who both pick NC to win it all. I need to make up 18 points on you before the championship game. We both, oddly, have Wisconsin beating Georgetown and then losing to Kansas in the midwest, so I can't gain there. I have Tennessee beating Louisville in the next round, so that's a possible 4+2=6 points there. Our South bracket is exactly the same until the elite 8 where I have Memphis beating Texas, not vice versa like you, so that's a possible 8+1=9 points. This puts me 3 points short... but...

I then have Memphis advancing to the title game, so that's a possible 16+1=17 points (+14 over you). But... you have Xavier going to the championship game, which means a possible 4+3, then 8+3, then 16+3, meaning I have to hope anyone but Xavier makes the Final Four from the West. Note that I'm just assuming both of us will be within 33 points of first place come the championship game.
