NCAA Tournament Wrap-Up

The 2010 March Madness Tournament was one that was filled with suspense, excitement, dissapointment, failure, and victory. Due to all the upsets in the first and second rounds of the tournament, many people's brackets were ruined. Even people who pride themselves as college basketball fans (me) struggled with winning bracket pools. Upsets like Northern Iowa over Kansas were so unpredictable that barely anyone knew it was possible.

Below is an article/video of an autistic kid from Chicago who had a perfect bracket through the second round of the tournament despite all the upsets!!!
