Freeze frame

So what does Kansas do in the final few minutes that totally makes the other team change their play, make stupid mistakes, and fall apart?  Purdue, UNC, and Ohio St had the game in the bag… and all  lost.  Which is good news for Quinnsanity, Lots of Losers, and Nwspring 1, who are all now guaranteed money.  An interesting scenario if Kentucky wins as four will vie for 6th place with several possibilities of a split 6th place prize.  Who will win?

Major Choke Job

UNC fell apart in the last three minutes with missed free throws, turnovers, missing every 3-pt shot, missing layups, and allowing offensive rebounds.  This sent Kansas to the Final Four meaning only #1 seed made it.  That leaves only 19 vying for money and only 5 can win 1st.  The full Final Four possible outcomes are below.

New leader

Took a while, but Syracuse finally ran out of juice.  And it knocked Larzby off the top for the first time falling to a tie for 4th and now can’ finish better than 4th.  Bigtenfan and Nwspring 1 are now co-leaders.  Biggest Luther will try to become only our 2nd ever 2-time champion.  Only 10 can win it all and 39 are still alive.

And my wife (SpAva) is mad at me because I said I now have to root for her teams, and with Syracuse’s loss, she is out of the running while my The Fabone in 3D is still alive for 5th.

Louisville ended the game on an 18-3 run to shock Florida and advance to the Final Four.  Rick Pitino outcoached former player Billy Donovan after earning an inadvertent technical that led to Florida being up by 11.  Seemed like Pitino was yelling his player and the ref thought he was yelling at him giving him a technical (resulting in two extra free throws).  Well, 7 picked Louisville (5 picked Florida including now eliminated Gator Glory).  51 are still alive and 11 can win 1st.

Somewhat more importantly, the Big East picked up its 13th win for the Bonus competition.
