SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A school librarian from Salem has won a $5,000 online contest to pick the Final Four teams in the NCAA basketball tournament.

KGW reports Diana Inch used some favorite numbers (to select seeds), some states she likes and appealing mascots to come up with the final four teams playing for the national title. She was one of three million people taking part in the Yahoo Tourney Pic 'Em contest.

The librarian picks UConn to beat Butler in the final.
