My favorite name "Jim Harrick's Supper Club" finished at 15 spot with 112 points. "Dr. Mex's Top 20 or 30 Bracket" unfortunately finished at 76.
Sadly "Nestor = MASSIVE loser" finished at the 81 spot. but at least he (or she?) beat yours truly "The Curse of Ragovic" at 100.
As for the big winner - ""David's Dazzling Bracket" - we haven't quite figured out what we will send as a prize. Don't worry we will figure out something fun. But at the very least here is a toast to everyone keeping their sense of humor even through one of the darkest periods in the history of UCLA basketball (and we are not even out of it yet).
Massive shout outs to "Bobinski Blows - Go Bruins!!" (60), "Bruinsss" (60), "Against The Wind" (72) and "Big D's Awesome Bracket" (124) who all picked UCLA to go all the way. They all get free beers if we ever check a game out with in person. Heck, I am happy to buy a free beer for "Nestor = MASSIVE loser" who took the time to fill out (his or her) entire brackets BN.
GO BRUINS.
