12 Wrap-up
Joe Wendt was able to fill out a perfect bracket and win the Big 12 bracket with 20 points. This was the third perfect bracket since I've started the Big 12 tournament. Joe previously had a second place finish in 2010 where he lost out to one of those perfect brackets. On the other side of the standings was Greg Johnson who came in last with 7 points. Greg's only other place in the history books was a last place finish in the 2006 2nd Chance pool.
