I’m not sure how one assists their own shot, but Kuester must have been a talented guy. With that observation the second round of the Bracket Challenge ends. The third round will start and feature the following matchups: 2016 v 1957, 2005 v 1993, 1982 v 1968, and finally 2009 vs 1977. All the title teams made it, but tougher decisions remain here on out.
