WVU goes 0 for its first 17 16 from 2-point range; Kentucky goes 0 for its first 20 from 3-point range. West Virginia misses 8 free throws after taking a 61-45 lead with 4:25 left. Somehow, WVU is going to the Final Four for the first since 1959. Duke is now the last #1 seed. 29 picked WVU. Larzby is still in first and has a 12.5% chance for first but can’t pick up any more points. The overwhelming favorite is The Pride of Troy! who has a 87.5% chance for money and a 50% chance for 1st. He is also trying to get his 3rd year in the money (the previous were 4th place finishes). Six have a 12.5% chance for 1st. Just 17 can win money.

Three or Free Only
2 pointers: 0/17! 3 pointers: 8/14! WV’s first 24 points off 3’s (last 4 off FTs). WV can’t possibly keep this up… they’re up by 2 at the half.
Butler Heads Home!
Well, they would’ve either way, but now they get to go home (Indianapolis) as the West Regional Champs as the #5 seed. This guarantees that at best, a #5 seed will reach the NCAA Final. Butler’s 19 turnovers kept Kansas St. in the game but a bizarre, almost 43-second possession by Kansas St in the last minute sealed their fate. Two actually picked Butler (they should also play the Lottery now), but it only benefited Larzby who retakes the lead. Cnollfan was the other. Larzby now has a 4-point lead but it’s Another Two-Peat who is almost guaranteed money at 81.3%. Ten brackets were eliminated (leaving 23) and only 8 can win first, including a possible 2-time champion for Ken B (25.0%) or Lawrence M (15.6%) (only Robinson C has ever won our pool twice).
Issue # 10.3.2 “It is a Team Game”
