Here, at last, are the winners of our first annual Bally's BracketBusters Racket. With 51 matchups to pick correctly, it was certainly a puzzle wrapped in an enigma toasted slightly and served on a corn-dusted kaiser roll. Suffice it to say, nobody got them all right. The average was six.
But someone got 15 of them right, and that was good enough for first place among the 93 entries. Your winner is Doug R., a Durham, N.C. resident who missed all but one of the TV games but made his primary hay on the non-televised contests. Second place goes to Winthrop afficionado Jeremy D. from Summerville, SC (who in fact won our Final Exam contest two years ago), with 10. There were five people with nine correct, but invoking the tiebreaker (time of entry) we pulled out Jonathan E. from Boone, N.C., who wistfully and wishfully sent his Appalachian State Mountaineers to Butler. Sorry, Jonathan.
And yeah, what's with all the Carolinians? It's like American Idol and Alabama or something. Just further proof that folks down there know their hoops.
