The Basketball Tournament Prediction Extravaganza is a nationwide prediction competition between basketball fans based upon the Annual Men's College Basketball Tournament. We feel the clean family humor, salty wit and sarcasm, and interesting year-to-year statistics make the 'Ganza, as we affectionately call it, one of the most enjoyable tournament contests on the Internet. We hope you join us and come to the same conclusion.

Although the format is similar to an office "pool," the Extravaganza is NOT a pool -- no prize money is awarded! In fact, our slogan is "This Ain't No Pool!" The prognosticator who scores the most points in the 'Ganza is awarded the Coveted Ostertag Plaque, one of the finest examples of laminated pressboard available and easily the most talked about sports award in my house. The Ostertag Plaque has often been mentioned in the same sentence as the Lombardi Trophy and the Stanley Cup. Especially if you read the previous sentence out loud.

Final Four

Today is the day when we will find out who is playing for the championship. That's right, 4 teams remain and all the world is on the edge of their seat wondering who will win? I don't know about you, but I am so nervous and excited and a bit shaky. Who will do it, who will hoist the biggest reward in college basketball?

I hope you all realize I am talking about the Ganza. What did you think I was talking about, the National Champion team? Whatever, it's all about the Ganza!

FINAL FOUR, 'GANZA STYLE

While most people who follow college basketball are all a twitter these days about North Carolina, Villanova, Michigan State, and U Conn, the REAL basketball fans are more concerned with the ONE TRUE FINAL FOUR:



Dustin Ketterling, North Dakota



Robert Wyatt, Arizona



Stanley Weiser, Minnesota



Lee Strub, Minnesota



These four talented prognosticators are vying for one of the most desirable pieces of pressboard known to man, the Coveted Ostertag Plaque!


Read more about in the latest issue of the critically acclaimed 'Ganza Gazette, which is available on the 'Ganza Gazette link to the right.
