It is a shame that an all-time great NCAA Tournament forever will be remembered for its all-time bad championship game.

Yikes! Kudos to the CBS/Turner analysts for not sugar-coating Butler's meltdown.

It will be interesting to see how the quality of the game effects the ratings when they come out later today.

For now let's wrap up some data from ESPN.com's bracket challenge:

Out of 5,923,829 entries, 279,308 correctly picked Connecticut to win.

The overall winner was someone named - appropriately enough - BRICK600.

President Obama, after a scorching start, finished in the 87.4 percentile of entries despite having none of the Final Four correct.
