For the first time since 2007, UConn became a back-to-back national champion by defeating Purdue. And for the first time ever, in her 14th year of making a bracket, Avery is our family champion! She is excited to have bragging rights over her father, brother, and grandfather for the next year. The official trophy presentation will take place tomorrow when Grandma must relinquish the hardware to her granddaughter. Avery already knows where she will display the trophy in her bedroom!
