Las Vegas Review-Journal Madness Challenge
The Review-Journal’s Adam Hill, Kelly Stewart and Matt Youmans compete with handicappers Bruce Marshall and Ken Thomson in a contest covering NCAA Tournament games. Each contestant selected 12 games against the spread, sides or totals, choosing from the 32 games on the betting board Thursday and Friday. Eleven of the picks were worth one point, and a Best Bet counts for two points. Any push is worth a half-point. The contest continues for games today and Sunday. The national champion pick is the tiebreaker.
