Well well well folks, we’re down to just 8 names in this tournament to find the best name in Big Ten basketball.
Internally, I expressed some concerns about the seeding, but was assured that, well, the votes will determine what’s correct.
Some of my personal favorites went down, including 3 seed Justice Sueing in a close one and 9 seed Sam Sessoms in a blowout. There were, however, only two upsets in the six matchups, so I’d say I did a passable job seeding!
On to the matchups.
Match 9: (1) Fatts Russell vs (8) Wilhelm Breidenbach
This is the only matchup between winners with 80% or more of the Round 1 vote, which is a shame but sets up an ELECTRIC Round 2.

Unfortunately, the two big upset winners will have to face each other. Can Geronimo defend his homeland against the Pinkertons and other forces sent by Lord Higginbottom?
