Tonight's The Night

This stand in the Atlanta airport was selling Final Four gear this afternoon.
From 64 teams (really 68) to two tonight, I am glad to be back in the United States for the NCAA men's basketball championship. The game is in Atlanta and I happened to fly through the city this afternoon after my original flight was changed. (I was supposed to go through Minneapolis.)

So how are everyone's brackets doing with everything on the line?

Veronica
Championship: Gonzaga vs. Kansas

Olivia
Championship: Ole Miss vs. Kansas

Julia
Championship: Louisville vs. Kansas 
Winner: Louisville

Lauren
Championship: Duke vs. Minnesota

Emily
Championship: Duke vs. Georgetown

Dad
Championship: Louisville vs. Kansas 
Winner: Louisville

"Zahn"
Championship: St. Louis vs. Kansas

It looks like Julia and I are the only two with a chance to win it all, since Louisville is playing Michigan for the championship (at 8:23 p.m. CDT). But we can't leave out Jon – who has Michigan winning over Louisville. (Bridget had Ohio State playing Kansas for the title). Julia told me to "make it sound like he's going down." But that's hard when he picked the two finalists correctly, Julia!

Don't forget to stay tuned in after the post-game ceremony for this year's "One Shining Moment" video. And if you can't stay awake until after 11 o'clock, check out Deadspin's "Dumb Shining Moment" video.
