Arizona in the Final 4

Both of the games today seemed to follow a very similar pattern.  The underdog plays well in the first half and goes into halftime with a lead.  Then, they get blitzed in the second half and the favorites win by double digits.  I am kind of amazed in this new era of college basketball just how difficult it is to pull off an upset in March.  It’s like teams that are 2, 3 or 4 seeds look unbeatable when they play lower seeds, but then look helpless when they play higher seeds.  I have a very bad feeling that after last year’s Final 4 being all 4 1 seeds, this years, is going to be 3 1s and a 3.  That’s not great.  That doesn’t capture the imagination – and it leads to very predictable tournaments (which is bad for my business).

22 people managed to go 2/2 today, of which 4 of them can’t win anything.  There are 69 people that can still get all the remaining points, and 42 of those people are eliminated from winning anything.  That tells you how clustered everyone’s picks are.  It looks more and more like the most crucial games to get right are the opening weekend games and maybe a flyer on someone like Iowa or Tennessee, because once it hits the Elite 8, it’s all chalk.  That kind of sucks.  I like having Wichita State, Miami (Florida) and Florida Atlantic in the Final 4.  It makes things fun.

We did have 2 regions completed, so that means the first payouts of the pool.  In the South Region, we had a 2-way tie between Elizabeth N. #2 and Mark Sp. #2.  They will split the $25, so they will each get $12.50.  They both had Illinois winning the region, but they both also had all 4 Sweet 16 Teams right.  They both picked St. Mary’s and McNeese in the first round, so they finished with 30 / 32 points in the South.  Congratulations to them.

In the West, it’s a lot messier.  Outside of Texas, High Point and Utah State, it was pretty chalky.  Also, remember yesterday, how I said that it looked like 4 took their picks from Jay Bilas on ESPN, well, Jay did very good in this region.  As it turns out, the West region finished with a 9-way tie with 30/32.  Here are the 9 people that won:

April Kohn.

Ben Sil. #2

DAZE 4

Jay Bilas

Leuder 2

Mike Lu #3

Mike Lu #4

Pete J. #1

Pete J. #5

Everyone missed Wisconsin / High Point.  7/9 missed Missouri / Miami, and the other 2 missed Villanova / Utah State.  So, when I say that those games don’t mean much, I guess I’m kind of lying.  Those games potentially cost someone $2.78, which is what the winners in this region will get.  That ain’t great.

Here are the overall scores, for those that care about the points:
