Declaring a champion in our Beat The Pros competition
The NCAA Tournament has concluded (in realllllly ugly fashion), and there's not many out there who are brave enough to look at the results of the brackets they filled out three weeks ago.
FOXSportsOhio.com issued a challenge to you at that time - see if you can beat the professionals at a bracket challenge. Nine of you defeated all of our professionals, and two more of you tied our own personal champion.
Amongst the professionals, Campy Russell ended up on top, having scored a total of 61 points. We've listed our own personal results at the bottom of this article. We put it at the end in the hopes that you'll get bored before you reach the end of the article and you won't see how awful we were.
Two contestants can proudly call themselves champions today. FOX Sports Ohio extends our congratulations to Shaun Evans and Keith Thomas, who both finished the bracket with 110 points and will share the title. Here's a list of the people who beat or tied our panel of experts;
