Alabama / Connecticut eliminations

That game was…. Not good.   I’ve been to 3 Final 4s, and it seems like every time, there is a game where both teams go ice cold from the field, and there is a 4-10 minute segment where the crowd just gets bored since there is nothing to cheer for.  I feel like that’s what this game was.  I think it has something to do with playing in a football stadium.  There’s something about the depth perception I think messes with shooters.  Throw in nerves and you often times get a terrible game.

With NC State out, we only dropped down from 19 people to 16 people alive for 5 spots and 2 games to go.  The good news is that there will be no ties for 3^rd or 4^th.  There could still be a tie for 1^st / 2^nd and another tie-breaker for 5^th.

Here’s the overall points:
