Apologies for the delay - I had some work-related business which cropped up and required my full attention.
From what I saw of the last little bits of the Tournament, it kind of petered out. I did notice that I made a strong run at the Nebrasketball Tourney Champ Award. But obviously, we should crown our tournament champ, who managed to navigate the difficult waters of guessing correctly the winners of a series of high stake pickup basketball games.
So, congratulations to Husker Pucks, our winner of the pool with 146 points. Bragging rights and respect are all yours. Coach Miles probably thinks that's swell. <Insert joke about non-existent Nebraska hockey winning the NCAA basketball tournament before our men's basketball team can win a single tournament game here.>
As for the Nebrasketball Tourney Champ Award winner is...Jon's Ball of Suck! I guess that proves that there is some reason to the way the tournament turns out, eh? I'm not sure whether congratulations are in order, but hey, you scored 31 points which is more than Nebrasketball did against someone this year, I'm sure.
