Make sure to check back here and follow on Twitter for updates throughout the tournament.
FINAL: Mombello Takes the Cake!
We’ve got one more to play, but it’s official folks- you’re champion of the inaugural March Madness Guru Picks Battle: Mac “Ed or Eddie” Mombello! A savvy Auburn pick in the Final Four proved to be the final push needed. The Guru Consensus picks also ended on a high note with as UVA won and covered in a thrilling OT finish that will not soon be forgotten. Eddie is not only the winner of a significant sum of cash, but will be the holder of the Chronic Jersey, a huge honor.
Thanks to all who have followed throughout, we look forward to repeating next year with a new participant and even higher stakes.
