In our complete one-year history before this year’s tournament we have never seen anything like we saw this year. We saw the champion fall before even the final four. We saw rookies dominate the tournament and a 12 seed nearly make it into the Sweet 16. But the storyline of the tournament has been the rise of hometown hero Jace Billingsley, who -- with the exuberant support of his friends and family — has made the unlikely run into the finals of this tournament.
In the finals, Billingsley will face off against the strongest name in this bracket: rookie Miles Killebrew.
