First off, congrats to Jason on basically dominating this competition.\u00a0 He took the lead on Friday of Round 1 and never gave it up, and definitely clinched the victory earlier than anyone ever has in this pool before.\u00a0 Unfortunately though, the drama is already gone.\u00a0 So, in order to cling to something, we’ll focus on the race for 2nd place (there is a bit of cash in this for 2nd as well).\u00a0 Thanks to West Virginia, Bry moved into 2nd after yesterday’s games.\u00a0 He has three competitors left in the fight for 2nd: Ryan, Maureen, and Walsh.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s Elite Eight Games:<\/strong><\/p>\n #6 Tennessee vs. #5 Michigan State:\u00a0 <\/em>Two mastermind coaches matching wits minus their best players.\u00a0 I like the Spartans to win, but I’ve thought Tennessee was going to lose pretty much every game they’ve played in this tournament, so what do I know?\u00a0 Maureen is the only one that can win this game, as she has Tennessee in what would be one of the more impressive Final Four picks I can remember in this pool.\u00a0 She’ll need the Vols to win to stay in contention for 2nd.<\/p>\n #3 Baylor vs. #1 Duke:\u00a0 <\/em>This should be a great game.\u00a0 I fully expect this to be close all the way.\u00a0 Coach K may find a way to outsmart Scott Drew at the end, but my money is on the best scorer on the floor, LaceDarius Dunn, dropping in a game-winning bucket to send the Bears to Indy.\u00a0 Jason, Bry, Maureen, Walsh, Talia, and Jon have the Dukies.\u00a0 Ryan, Doogan, and Waters have Baylor.\u00a0 Ryan will need Baylor to win to stay in contention for 2nd, Maureen and Walsh will need Duke to advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First off, congrats to Jason on basically dominating this competition.\u00a0 He took the lead on Friday of Round 1 and never gave it up, and definitely clinched the victory earlier than anyone ever has in this pool before.\u00a0 Unfortunately though, … Continue reading
