So last night we saw the exciting conclusion to the NCAA March Madness Championship tournament. I know not all the BBGeeks are fans of college basketball, but for a select few of us this has been marked on our calendars for quite some time. Some of us were cheering for Michigan Sate who were somehow destined to make it so far despite being the underdog in most of their match ups. Some of us were cheering for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels who have been nothing short of a well oiled machine all season long.

The Contest

At the beginning of the tournament our friends at Themes4bb.com suggested that we get together and run a contest, gather a few like minded fans from their camp and ours and get them to fill out brackets and see if they could predict the road to the final four and beyond. We set up some nice prizes for the winners and eagerly checked the standings after each round.

In the end North Carolina absolutely dismantled the MSU defense and ran them up and down the court. The MSU team played a great game and deserve a lot of credit for their play (except for the turn overs that is), but it was clear that they were outmatched from the beginning.

We All Had Fun Though!

No matter who you were cheering for there was something to be happy about last night and for three special people the night was made even better when they realized they had taken one of the top 3 places in the BBGeeks/Themes4bb NCAA contest.
