The Final Four is set in the men's NCAA Tournament, but five contestants are still alive to win the 14th annual Living Room Times men's NCAA pool.

Here are the scenarios for how the pool could end, depending on who beats whom in the national championship game. The links go to the "what-if" final standings for that scenario.

• MSU over UNC: Mike Wiser wins
• MSU over Villanova: Mike Wiser wins
• UConn over UNC: Neil Waechter wins
• UConn over Villanova: Neil Waechter wins
• UNC over MSU: Jason Strutz wins
• UNC over UConn: Lauren Barkmeier wins
• Villanova over MSU: Marty West wins
• Villanova over UConn: Lauren Barkmeier wins

Right now, Barkmeier has the lead. Meanwhile, congratulations are in order for Matt Scarborough, who is the only contestant in the pool to correctly predict all four teams in the Final Four. Alas, Scarborough can finish no better than third place because his remaining picks are identical to two contestants above him in the standings -- Barkmeier and Nick Genco.

P.S. Here are the latest women's pool standings. Heading into the Elite Eight, which starts tomorrow, Nate Evangelista has the lead despite a 4-for-8 Sweet Sixteen. (The best scores in the round belonged to Kristy LaPlante, Dave Whelan and Gary Atkinson, all of whom were 6-for-8.) Ten contestants are still alive to win.
