Jaden Campbell made two late free throws and Achor Achor had a big dunk to come back from down 20 to cut the lead to 1 point with 20 seconds. Samford tried to trap Kansas but they passed the ball all the way down the court to Nicolas Timberlake and as he tried to dunk it, AJ Staton-McCray came from behind to block the ball out of his hands. But the referee called a foul, and so instead of a mad scramble for the loose ball, Timberlake headed to the line. It was clear from replays that it was a clean block, but the force that he fell to the ground made it look like contact was made.

Timberlake made both free throws, Jermaine Marshall missed a highly contested three pointer, and the Jayhawks survived with a 93-89 victory.

Congratulations to Joanna Crabbe, who got 15 of 16 games right today to take a 10 point lead. She would have been perfect had it not been for Oakland’s upset or Kentucky – but to be fair, only 9 people had the Grizzlies. So, as perfect as you can get.

Joanna is followed by both of Rob Nesbitt’s picks, Adam Levine, Ann Hawkins, and my dad Edward Hodgson who all got 14 of 16 correct. And there are 27 entries close behind at 13 of 16 correct.

Good luck to everyone on Friday as the Madness continues!
