Butler started with a very long 3 which started an 11-0 run to make the Elite 8 over #1 Syracuse.  Is it because Syracuse had the furthest to travel as a #1 seed?  By not getting the 3rd #1 seed, they went to Salt Lake City instead of Houston.  So the Orange (what was wrong with Orangemen?) are the 2nd #1 seed to fall.  How will Kentucky and Duke do?   Five entries, believe it or not, picked Bulter into the Elite 8.  This propelled Larzby into a tie for first with SilverSurfer (84 pts).  ChasCroix5 went from 100th to 76th and still has a chance for 1st.  14 entries were eliminated (leaving 61) and 10 were eliminated from winning (leaving 32).

Update:  In the second game, it was a turnover-fest but West Virginia easily held off Washington even without Darryl “Truck” Bryant (broken foot).  88 picked WVU and three more were eliminated (leaving 58) and only 30 can win 1st.  Can’t wait for the big game and hope it’s not a blowout, between Kentucky & Cornell.

FOMI, IlliNI.T, and MB Camel Jockies all still have their Final Four intact.  Marty the Greek joined previously Sisyphus as the only ones who will go 0-for-the-Final-Four.
