ANAHEIM, Calif. — Gregg Nigl, the man with the record-breaking, perfect NCAA tournament bracket, stopped outside the Honda Center on Thursday evening and checked a score on his phone.
Purdue was beating Tennessee, and Nigl grimaced.
In the bracket he filled out when he was on cold medicine, the one in which he picked every game correctly into the Sweet 16, Nigl had picked Tennessee over Purdue to get to the Elite Eight.
