You don't need me to tell you how crazy and unexpected this tournament has been. The last two weeks have been filled with buzzer beaters, upsets, and busted brackets left and right. My bracket was torn to shreds by the likes of VCU, Butler, Kentucky, Florida State, and many many others. Despite all of the unprecedented results from this years tournament, 2 miraculous brackets have emerged on ESPN's Tournament Challenge (out of 5.9 million) that picked the correct Final Four of Kentucky, UConn, Butler and VCU....Put into a percentage, that is only .00034% of the 5.9 million, that managed to get the correct combination of Final Four teams. I don't know if it was pure luck, world-class basketball knowledge, or even psychic abilities, but what those two people accomplished was pretty amazing. Especially due to all of the anti-VCU sentiment that came out of ESPN in light of the at-large birth that the Rams received on "Selection Sunday."
If the Final Four is anything like the rest of the tournament, Saturday should be a tremendous day for college sports, and especially for mid-majors.
