There wasn’t much to write about the first game.   Buddy Hield scored 37 points to lead the Sooners over the Ducks to be our first team to make their way to the Final Four.

In the later game, senior Ryan Arcidiacono hit some critical FTs near the end, and knocked the ball out of Frank Mason III’s hands to get one of the best birthday gifts ever – a trip to the Final Four!

And so the #1 team going into the tournament, the Kansas Jayhawks, have been eliminated from the tournament.   And thus, Villanova and Oklahoma await to see which two ACC teams will join them in the Final Four.

Congratulations to Mike Wassmer – who correctly forecasted the #2 seed upsets tonight to take a 30 point lead over Tanmay Gautam.  John Bachmann holds on to his Upset pool lead, but it has been shrunk to 2 points by Kelli Shonts.   And Andrew Murphy has taken the lead of the Second Chance Pool over multiple entries 40 points behind.
