The dust has settled on this years Bracket Challenge and my sister Mara was victorious. She picked a total of 51 games correctly, bettering James by just one game. Congratulations Mara, and thanks to all who played this year.

As for the actual game, Florida took control early and didn’t let up. Corey Brewer and Lee Humphrey were shooting the lights out in the first half, and Ohio State couldn’t buy a bucket (although I’m sure their boosters tried). Of course Greg Oden played like a superstar. One can only hope we have the chance to see him and his game continue to evolve. The college life seems to suit him and frankly college basketball could use another superstar who will stay for more than 1 or 2 years. Asking for more than that is probably just silly, but I for one hope Oden stays. Along those same lines, I hope that the kids from Florida stick around to try and do something truly exceptional, win 3 in a row. Obviously a lot to ask, but they really seem to enjoy themselves, and we can only guess what Joakim Noah has the Gator Boys doing, that we don’t know about, but they do.
