And just like that, many of our brackets are busted! Grandpa and Damon put their hopes in the Illini and subsequently lost their championship team. Chris lost three of his Final Four teams (Illinois, Texas, and Kansas). Karen and Grandma are holding steady near the top. And poor Damon is in last place, but he’s not as upset about it as I expected him to be. We’ll see what the Sweet Sixteen brings!
