Jabin's March Madness Chariity Pool - Final Four is Set
Sparty and the Dookies (that sounds like a 50s Doo-Wop group) punched their tickets to the Final Four on Sunday, and the last weekend's pairings are set.
Sparty dispatched Tennessee in a hard-fought game that went down to the wire, and was close all the way, with neither team ever getting a double-digit lead. Fun to watch, right down to the end.
In the nightcap, what can I say? I usually whine about Dook getting tons of calls, but they took it to a new level in this game. I have watched a lot of basketball in my life, and I've watched a lot of Dook basketball. But I can honestly say I've never seen a player throw a high elbow (Scheyer) and have the *other* team get called for the technical foul. A first, even for the boys from Durham. I could care less about Baylor, so I'm only biased against Duke, but the calls down the stretch were just brutal (the announcers even said the same thing, so it's not just my paranoia).
In the pool, Nagalicious picked both winners correctly on Sunday (Michigan State and Duke) to surge to a three-point lead in the pool standings with 68 points. Spudboy4 stands three points back at 65, followed by a five-player logjam at 62 points between Chris Smith2, Joel Henryswartzberg, Joel Schwartzheimer, Joel Swartzberg, and BrookJ. Sparty Scott Wilson headlines a list of four players tied at 61, but I'm guessing he doesn't care since his team is back in the Final Four.
One of the advantages of being down to four teams now is that we have eight "scenarios" of how this thing will play out. They are below, with links to how the final standings will look if the Final Four plays out as listed:
Complete standings heading into the Final Four are below, and I'll talk to you Saturday night:
