Final results of CNN's NCAA brackets --
With Gonzaga's win, the winner is Kate Bolduan, with Brooke Baldwin and Ana Cabrera
taking 2nd and 3rd places.... leaving the all the CNN guys in the dust.

Eat it, Blitzer!!!

Where did you find the standings?

I know Brooke is a Big Tarheel fan. She went there for college.

All 3 ladies referred to it on Twitter.

I found the list.

Who won the HLN bracket? Did they have one?

It was all rolled into one.
If you look at the full list (see yali's post just above), the only HLN'ers that
made the top 30 were Hines Ward in 16th place,
and Christi Paul finished in 26th.

( Coy Wire made 12th place, but he's both CNN & HLN)

No idea who else did or didn't participate or how
they might have done.




.

They did (on the Morning Express FB page) Jen won, Melissa was a distant second, and Robin was fourth.

Really? So how would that work, since HLN people like Christi and Hines were allowed
to be part of the CNN one? And if that's the case, I wonder how Robin and the others placed in it?
(obviously not in the top 30)
Isn't that kind of double-dipping?






.

Consolidating everyone in the MXP crew, Jen finished on top with Robin second. All the sports guys (Coy, Hines, and Andy) were at the bottom. Jen and Robin credited using autopick for their success.

So Hines and Coy were in the CNN challenge, but fared worse than Robin and Jen in the
MXP version? And Christi was in the CNN one, but not MXP's?
I'm so confused

So that means Robin and Jen made picks, but weren't allowed in to the CNN one?
I don't get it.
Or was this maybe a case of each person having their choice of participating in one or another, or both?





.

I'm not 100% sure if MXP did a separate bracket or just pared down the CNN list to those involved in MXP, nor am I sure if they mentioned anything as such. Whenever the subject came up, nobody mentioned being in more than one bracket, so perhaps the MXP results were just a consolidation.

Yeah I think the HLN bracket was more like the morning express bracket. Agreed that Christi (who on the CNN on the weekends) and also Lynn Smith should have joined.
