WINNER: 2015-16 NCAA basketball (dustin800)

[flexmaster33]

Tennessee is the first team to earn a Final Four spot, while North Carolina and South Carolina are headed to overtime to decide their game.

Kansas State (dub312) won the NIT bracket and the 100-credit prize that goes to that tourney.

Michigan is playing out the final few minutes of a blowout victory over Rutgers. Home advantage was strong to the point of being controversial in what is currently a 67-20 game. Seven of eight crucial, early, 50/50 calls went their way, and the Wolverines never looked back. Tough way for Rutgers and coach Ratrin to end the season after a stunning upset of 1-seed (and #2 overall) Clemson in the previous round. Michigan, on the other hand, enjoyed a little bit of a break after one of the wildest games of the season: a 72-71 nailbiter against Princeton. Big Blue will head south to California to face the winner of the Oregon and Iowa game which is just now under way. Michigan will probably be rooting against heavily favored Oregon, but a rematch against Iowa will be no cake walk. The two teams split their regular season games in matches that went to the home team in each.

Hope you're ready for that rubber match. No shame in saying Iowa has been lucky as hell all postseason- let's see it continue

Well, you're starting in all 5 of the starters and 1 of the bench maps, so I'd say it's continuing so far

Michigan and Iowa look to be going to the final buzzer in the other national semifinal.

After a shaky start, Michigan wins its rubber match against Iowa 76-62 to advance to the championships against North Carolina. Michigan's starters got off to a slow start and it looked like Wolverine's bench was going to have to pick up the slack. They didn't. With only 5 points off the bench, coach agentcom had to turn back to his starters. Luckily, they seemed to get the message, outscoring Iowa's starters two to one.

Iowa finishes the season 21-14 after an impressive romp through the North region in which they knocked off the 1 seed (Temple) and 2 seed (Oregon) and outscored their opponents by nearly 40 points per game.

Michigan (26-9) will face North Carolina (23-12) in the championship game in California.

Bracket is updated. And we have our title game sent...North Carolina (dustin800) vs. Michigan (agentcom)

[agentcom]

Thanks flex! Still waiting for the opponent, but I know he was out of town until recently. Hopefully underway soon. Very excited to be in my first championship game after 4 years (I think) of playing in this tourney!!!!

North Carolina's bench and star player stepped up to eek out a close victory over Michigan. Coach agentcom should be proud of a great season and a great fight in the final despite being at a disadvantage with starts. Coach dustin800 is contemplating retirement after back to back NCAA titles for the Tarheels.

It was a barn burner! Congrats dustin!

North Carolina (dustin800) is the first back-to-back champ we've had in my 10 years or so running this tourney. Well done.
