Championship Game
OH MY GOODNESS, what a final
game!! Can you believe the choke job by Memphis???
Congratulations go to Kansas with the big comeback and the
overtime win! What a great 3-pointer for Kansas to
force the overtime!
We now have our winners.
They are:
1st Place-
Tracy Beam
2nd Place-
Alex Doyle
3rd Place-
Denise Ruffra
Congratulations to the winners
and my condolences to the losers (especially Duffy and Gene
Z.!)
We had a record number of
entries this year and it should mean an even bigger pool
next year. Have a great summer and we will see
everyone next March! Thanks for playing!
Final 4
The March Madness 2008 final
game is now set. Monday night it will be Memphis
playing Kansas! Two really strong performances
tonight!
That darn UCLA losing knocked
me out of the money and now there are only two players,
Tracy Beam and
Bill Duffy, who will go into
the final game vying for the top money.
Alex Doyle and
Gene Zipperle will be fighting
it out for 2nd place and either Denise
Ruffra or Donna Stevenson
will walk away with the 3rd place money.
It should be an exciting final
game Monday night at 9 PM.
Elite 8
Sunday's games are underway
and first up was Memphis and Texas. Memphis showed why
they were the #1 seed by grabbing the lead in this game and
never looked back.
The second game between
Davidson and Kansas was a barn burner! Davidson had
Kansas's number from early on but that last shot just
wouldn't go! Congratulations Davidson on a great run
at the big guys!
So now we have an all #1 seed
final four for the first time! The pool standings are
now even tighter. Erin Gould,
Diane Swallow, and
Mark Shaw fill out the top
three spots.
But wait! with only
three games remaining we have 8 players who can take home
the big money! Check out the Player Scenario's!
It's Saturday and North Carolina ends
Louisville's bid for the final four tonight and UCLA pounds
Xavier.
David
Nagle's run for the big pot ends tonight but
Erin Gould is hanging tough in
first place. All of the reports are current and be
sure to check that
Player Scenarios report!
Sweet 16
Who is that Davidson team?
Apparently no one knows because not a single player picked
them to beat Wisconsin! Louisville played another
solid game to advance to the Elite 8 while Western KY heads
home. All number 1 seeds advance.
Erin
Gould has taken over the top spot with
Joe Buoni close behind.
David Nagle jumps 21 spots to
third place! Way to go!
The
Player Scenarios report is now online. Check it
out! Twenty-six players still have a shot at first
place!!
Round 2
And now there are sixteen!
Round 2 comes to a close and out of no where comes
Christopher Dean jumping 8
spots to tie Diane Swallow for
the lead. Sorry Chris, your lead will be short lived
since you picked Duke to win it all! Better luck next
year! Still hanging tough at third is
Rootbeer who is joined by
Erin Gould.
Day 2 had one big upset with
Davidson taking out Georgetown. Two Kentucky teams
advance to the sweet 16 with Western KY's win over San Diego
and Louisville's rout of Oklahoma!
We have a break with the next
round not starting until Thursday night. Be sure to
look at the "Projected Standings" report. There are
still a lot of points out there to be had!
Day 1... started out with a bang
when Duke was defeated by West Virginia! Most of the
other favorites hung tough against some pretty serious
competition! UCLA survived a scare but Pitt was downed
by Michigan State.
We have a two way tie after
tonight's games between Diane Swallow
and Debra Norris.
Rootbeer (Bill Barker) is
running a close third!

Round 1
Day 2... Call it the
day of the upsets!
UCONN, Vandy,
Indy, Gonzaga, Clemson and Drake were all upset by higher seeds!
Western Ky hit a bomb with
time running out in OT to down Drake in a very exciting game
and Louisville played a strong game tonight in downing Boise
State.
All alone at the top of the
pool standings after Round 1 is Gene
Zipperle! Way to go Gene!
With all of the upsets though,
we have a very tight pool! It is still anyone's
tournament to win. More great basketball to be played
this Easter weekend.
Day 1 comes to a close with
only a couple upsets and some no big surprise losers.
Kansas State over USC is the
biggest upset of the night but that didn't fool 31 of the
pool players. Kentucky just didn't have what it takes
this year even with the dynamic duo of Bradley and Crawford.
Man, Duke sure pulled one out of you know where. I
sure was rooting for Belmont on that one even though I had
Duke picked to win!
Diane S., Gene Z. and Erin G.
hold the early lead but it's anybody's tournament to win at
this point. Day 2's games will really shake things up!
Man does it get any better than this!!??
