That Sweet Sixteen round was a doozy! Karen (Houston), Grandma (Houston), Damon (Arizona), and Chris (Iowa State) lost their championship teams. It looks like the fight for the trophy comes down to Grandpa (Purdue) and Avery (UConn). ESPN now has a forecast feature in the bracket tournament. According to the group forecast, Grandpa has a 36% chance to win the pool while Avery has a 30% chance. Everyone in the Carefree Clarks house wants Purdue to lose anyway. But now we’re really rooting against them because it would mean that Avery finally gets to put her name on the family trophy!
