  • Channel 9 reporter Jason Stoogenke put a lot of thought into his bracket and even managed to spill some food grease on it, although he blamed it on someone else.
  • Channel 9 reporter Kathryn Burcham is from Ohio and that is quite evident in her bracket. She has Ohio State along with Indiana and her new-home state's Duke and North Carolina in the Final Four. Burcham takes Duke to beat Indiana in the championship game.

  • Channel 9 anchor Blair Miller is a huge Ohio State fan as evident in his notes and sayings written on his bracket ... Which means he is not a fan of Michigan, whom he has losing to South Dakota St. in first round. He picks the Buckeyes every year to win it, and 2013 is no different. Miller has OSU beating UCLA in the finals.
  • Severe Weather Center 9 Meteorologist Vicki Graf thinks all favorites should win out, except one. Graf, who did go to school in Daytona Beach, has Miami as the only non 1-seed in the Final Four. She is sticking with overall-No. 1 Louisville as the eventual-national champion.

  • Severe Weather Center 9 Meteorologist Keith Monday attended the University of Missouri, so it is unclear why he has them losing to overall No. 1 Louisville in the 2nd round. He is, in fact, a good husband, as he is picking his wife's school -- Indiana -- to win it all over L'ville.
  • Channel 9 anchor Natalie Pasquarella is from Ohio and her bracket reflects her allegiance to the Buckeye State. Natalie has two sunny-state schools, Miami and Florida with OSU and Duke in the Final Four. But her loyalty to OH-IO stops at the Final Four. She has Duke beating Florida to win it all.
  • Severe Weather Center 9 meteorologist John Ahrens is a huge Frank Sinatra fan, which has nothing to do with his bracket. He does love Cincinnati too, and has the Bearcats beating Duke to make it to the round of 8. Ahrens is picking the Hoosiers to beat his home-state Buckeyes in the finals.
  • Channel 9 reporter Mark Becker does not believe in the No. 1 seeds this year in his
  • Channel 9 anchor Erica Bryant graduated from the University of North Carolina. Nothing else matters, as she has no other games even being played in the tournament. It's a forgone conclusion that UNC will win it all!
  • Channel 9 anchor Peter Daut came to Charlotte from Dallas, but since there are no Texas teams in the tourney, he pulling for his new home-state. Daut has Duke, UNC and Davidson in the Final Four with Gonzaga. He is picking the No. 14 seed Davidson to win it all.
