Richard Berg led the Bracketbuster Challenge through the Final Four, but Robert Thompson recovered from a slow start and aced the two finalists and the national champion for a come-from-behind victory.

Berg had 187 points up to the Final Four, but he picked North Carolina and Houston to play for the title.

Several others picked UConn and Purdue, and that allowed them to overcome Berg.

Thompson picked UConn to defeat Purdue and ended with 218 points to win the challenge.
