Goshen News 2023 NCAA Tournament Reader Challenge results

Apr. 14—Here are the final standings of the online version of the 2023 Goshen News NCAA Tournament Reader Challenge. Congratulations to Mike Mast of Middlebury on winning the grand prize of $200. Mast was correct in 39 of his 63 picks throughout the tournament, led by picking UConn as his national champion. The Huskies defeated San Diego State in the final on April 3.

It was a chaotic NCAA Tournament this year, and the scores from our challenge indicate that. Barely 25% of all entries scored 100 points or more, with only four scoring more than 200 points out of a maximum of 384. Bill Kurtz of Nappanee was second place with 214 points, Heidi Heinisch of Syracuse third with 210 and Aaron Fry of Shipshewana fourth at 206.

In the separate Sweet 16 and Final Four games, Keaton McDonald of Topeka and Michael Zent of Goshen won the prizes of $100 and $50, respectively.

Below are the final point totals of all 200 entries we had for the full-bracket contest online. Full results of those who entered with a print bracket are still being counted and will be coming out at a later date.
