2015 TVNewser Bracket Challenge… Who’s In?

By Brian Flood 

The TVNewser Bracket Challenge is back for its 7th year as the 2015 NCAA college basketball tournament gets underway. Defending champion CNN meteorologist Chad Myers is back in it to win it, so is 2012 winner FBN’s Liz MacDonald and 2011 winner Dominc Chu — only this time Chu is on Team CNBC, having moved there from Bloomberg in 2013.

Interestingly, these three past winners are picking different teams to win it all this year: Myers is picking Kentucky, MacDonald selects Arizona, and Chu is going with Villanova.

Here’s who’s in. We’ll keep you updated on who’s leading throughout the tourney.
