<p>Brad selected 3 of 4 of the Final Four, nobody else got more than one correct. Combined with his 75% showing in the Sweet Sixteen, he's destined to win this, and his picked victor has won tonight. They're battling for the final two tonight: Gonzaga beat South Carolina; Oregon is currently playing North Carolina. </p>
