[D IT UP]

What they did with the ceremony/banquet on Tuesday night before the tourney started was simply awesome; do not expect that to go away any time soon, as it will only grow bigger. It included this years candidates and their families, along with former winners. Not many of the former guys showed up, but I do believe there was around 8-10. Would expect that list to get to 15 or so next year. The right guy won it this season. Hickey didn't win it solely based on his sweet 16 performance either. If I remember correctly, he was the favorite going into the tourney.
