I always tell myself to take Sparty at least one more round than seems sensible because they do this shit more often than not. Of course I didn't this year.

Yep. I've done that a few times and gotten some nice payoffs. Can't believe I overlooked them this year, especially given their weak region and that I couldn't find a single darkhorse in the tourney. My pool was there for anyone's taking if you just bet against UVA or Nova.

I think they should beat LOU. Can't see them beating Duke or the Zags, and it would be beyond ugly if it was a KY/MSU final.

The way Duke played.....not rebounding and not scoring late it sure looked like the fix was on. If you ever wanted to see what a point shaving game looked like....this was it.

Eh that's pretty much how Duke has played all tournament and all year really. I do agree with you though when Cook had to shoot FTs at the end once he missed the first I was like o here we go if he misses this 2nd one there will be a lot of people talking about a fix. It's shame Cook's games with a 3 pointer made is over. 35 straight isn't too bad though. It also sucks that Duke fans will only get to watch Winslow for 1 season I doubt he comes back if he continues to play like this all tournament, he will have a lot of people in his ear telling him he will be a lock for a top 10 pick. He may have even gotten to prove Grant Hill right when he said Winslow was the best defender ever at Duke.

I had Northern Iowa over Louisville. Otherwise I would've been 14/16 and 8/8. But I had UNI over Michigan State too so I'm pretty much out of contention now.

Dayton girls on to the elite 8

I know girls bball sucks but they are 16/16 from the ft line and I got to watch one of their guards play a decent bit in hi skool.

Amazing the weapon FT shooting can be when it's actually taught. It blows my mind that so many of these D1 college players are so poor at shooting FT's. Can't remember which game I was watching, but one team had a PG that shot 48% from the line. How does that happen?

Traevon Jackson should just sit the rest of the year. All he does it take bad shots. Gasser, Koenig and Showalter should get every minute.

And hello UConn.

Came into the tournament on a 31 game win streak with a margin of victory of 42 and so far in the tourny have a MOV of 51. Good luck Dayton.
