Whatever his methodology, his bracketology was spot on. Figueroa, 33, had the entire Elite Eight and Final Four of the tourney pegged. He had North Carolina beating Michigan State in the title game, which is how it played out. Not many envisioned Michigan State reaching the title game when the NCAA field was announced.
Even Figueroa’s tiebreaker, which he didn’t need, was keen. He said 162 points would be scored in the championship contest. There were 161.[/url]
Pretty amazing win here and way better than the professors, which were 1:1 (or 0). He says he didn't get paranormal help but he is a co-founder of a group. Is this guy holding back on something?
