Women’s Final Four Contest: Show What You Know

Time to pick the winners.

Here is your chance to pick the National Champion in women’s college basketball. Simply check out the semifinals, pick the survivors of those games and then the final score of the title game. Choosing a semifinal correctly earns a contestant two points and picking the national champion correctly earns the contestant five points. Margin of victory will be the first tiebreaker and total points the second. We will start with a first prize of a $20 gift card, a second prize of $15 and a third of $10.

One entry per person. Contest open to the E.O. Smith school community. Entries are free; prizes donated by The Panther Press. If we receive more than 50 entries, we will add at least one random prize. 

The semifinals feature South Carolina against North Carolina State in the first game, and UConn versus Iowa in the second game. Note: You only need to pick the championship game and final score, since picking that game will show who you have winning in the semifinals.
