So, overtime was a lot of battling back and forth for the lead. But with about 1:40 to play, JT Toppin drove the lane and hit a close jumper to give the Red Raiders a 3 point lead. But after a timeout, Arkansas found Trevon Brazile all alone at the top of the key for a three pointer to tie it for the Razorbacks.

Texas Tech went right back to their All-American and JT Toppin delivered with another drive into the lane. But DJ Wagner would once again tie the game with a layup of his own. Back and forth. Back and forth. Only 34 seconds left.

Texas Tech winds the clock down and gets the ball to Darrion Williams, the hero who tied the game. And Williams drove to the hoop and made the layup to put the Red Raiders up 2 points. Arkansas’ last ditch fadeaway shot to try to tie the game came up short and Texas Tech survives and advances. All 4 favorites continued the trend of the chalk winning, but it sure ended with a fantastic game.

As for the pool, Debbe Evans and Scott Grimes still hold a 10 point lead over Ashley Peterson, and a 20 point lead over Amy Lacks and both of Andrea Zimmerman’s picks.

In the Upset Pool, Ashley Peterson holds an 18 point lead over Scott Grimes and a 28 point lead over Debbe Evans.

In the Second Chance Pool, we have 50 people who picked all 4 favorites and thus are tied for the lead at 160 points. For all of our sanity, I will simply congratulate everyone instead of trying to type everyone’s name.
