That's what Vic Miller of North Brunswick, New Jersey, told CBS New York on Thursday after winning CBS Local's Bracket Challenge.

Miller was one of more than 29,000 participants who signed up for the challenge. His Final Four included Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina and Xavier, with the Wildcats winning it all.
