2025 March Madness has come to an end and now it’s time to see how we did in the Bracket Challenge!
Just a couple points makes all the difference – the top four participants in the Men’s March Madness Bracket Challenge, Derek Moody, Michael Ruede, Joe Brinsky, and Joe Miele, were within just 3 points of each other, each selecting the Florida Gaters as their 2025 champion. With a very close game, the Florida Gaters won the 2025 March Madness Championship with 65-63, defeating the Houston Cougars by only two points. With that, the winner of the 2025 SBCA March Madness MEN’s Basketball Bracket Challenge, with 166 points, is: Derek Moody with Rogers Manufacturing Corporation. Congratulations, Derek!
Although there were less participants in the Women’s Bracket Challenge, it was a mighty competition with most guessing South Carolina as the champion. While South Carolina did make it to the Championship game, they were not the winners. In fact, only one participant selected the correct winner. UConn Huskies won the 2025 Championship game against the South Carolina Gamecocks 82-59, making this their 12th NCAA Championship title. Taking home the win for the 2025 SBCA March Madness WOMEN’s Basketball Bracket Challenge, with 148 points, is Corey Lane with SBCA staff. Congratulations, Corey!
Thank you to all who participated in SBCA’s annual March Madness Bracket Challenge. Join us again next year and try to win those bragging rights!
