Please congratulate Keri Smith for winning the inaugural bracket competition here. The only one to pick Connecticut as the winner, Ms. Smith tallied 99 total points in the tournament in a truly unpredictable postseason.

We’ll let her slide on missing wildly on Monday night’s total score. She said 150. Butler and UConn said 94. Not her fault.

By the way, did anyone else notice the baseball caps among the rather unfortunate championship gear the Huskies were sporting afterward? The front of the cap read “UConn No. 1.” The designer, though, got a little creative in incorporating — and you think about this — an asterisk.
