Congratulations to Jackiegee, winner of the 2016 Econbrowser NCAA tournament challenge. None of our entrants correctly picked the tournament winner to be Villanova, but Jackie (like a number of others of you) thought it would be UNC, and came within half a second of being right! For fans of Michigan State, West Virginia, and others, better luck next year!
I believe it was Branch Rickey who said “Luck is the residue of design”. As the winner of the 2016 Econbrowser NCAA tournament challenge I submit that luck is also the residue of a couple of glasses of cheap chardonnay.
