CERRITOS, CA (smt)- #6W-Texas Tech's Bobby Knight watched his team squander a game -tying scoring opportunity, then fail to foul #7W-West virginia for nearly 13 seconds, and then watched his team pass up a couple of shot opportunities as time was expiring as WV advanced to the Elite 8, 65-60. WV will play #1MW-Illinois, who kept #12MW-Wisconsin-Milwaukee a safe distance away throughout the game in their 14 -point victory, 77-63.

#4W-Louisville used a 14-0 run near the end of the first half to go from a 32-31 deficit to a 45-32 lead and kept the margin the rest of the game in dethroning the first #1 seed of the tournament, #1W-Washington, 93-79. The Huskies were a questionable #1 seed and Louisville pounded that point home in their second straight red-hot shooting.

Legendary #2MW-Oklahoma St. coach Eddie Sutton, who was supposed to win the championship last year (well, that's what my bracket said), will likely retire without a ring as John Lucas' last minute buzzer-beater just went long. #3MW- Arizona outlasted OK St, 79-78, on Salim Stoudamire's jumper with 2.8 seconds left. Both teams played hard but Arizona shot a blazing 66% from the field but missed seven (one didn't count because of a lane violation) of 12 free throws in the second half. Three lower-seeded teams won and once again, we won't have four #1 seeds in the Final Four.

LUCKORBUST (94 pts) was one of eight entries to go 3-1 as he busts back into first with a 4-point lead over KRISPY KREMER. YELLOW MONKEY (89) moved from a tie for 8th to 3rd place and COBI'S CRUSADERS (82) moved from a tie for 43rd to a tie for 16th place. DARA (86) continues the march upward moving from 60th (after Round 1) to 22nd (after Round 2) to sole possession of 8th place. Four entries still have their Final Four intact. The unluckiest entry was TROY SOLDIERS 2 (15th-Tied, 83) who went from 6th Place to being eliminated. Three went 0-4 for the day (ROBBO (75), who went from 17th to 58th and eliminated, REGGIEK945 (81st, 58), and NOMEX (Last, 55)).

SOURCE (72) moved just three spots, from 73rd to 70th place, but still has a chance for 1st Place. Seventeen other entries still have a chance for 1st and a total of 40 entries are still alive for the top 4 prizes. LUCKORBUST has the best odds for 1st with a 27.64% chance. Four others have a greater than 10% chance. LUCKORBUST has a 70% chance for some money and three others have a greater than 43% chance. BIRDLEGS (66th-T, 73), who had a 4 in 32,768 chance for 4th place is still alive with a 2 in 2,048 chance.

After tomorrow's games, you'll know (if you're still alive) exactly what scenario you would need to win money. Also, we'll take a look at the race for the Bonus Prize.
