College Hoops 2K6 tournament culminates in Indianapolis alongside real NCAA championship. Video footage inside.

Last night, the Florida Gators triumphed over the UCLA Bruins at the NCAA Men's basketball championship game, the last round of the NCAA Final Four tournament. At the same time, gamers played in their own championship at Pontiac's Virtual Final Four Tournament. The game was the culmination of a two-month-long contest and three-week-long online tournament, which saw top players of College Hoops 2K6 duke it out in their own brackets.

I hope they didn't get the latest title update. It broke both online AND offline games for me. (whereas before I just couldn't play games online)
