Here is a look after the Final 4 . . .

As always, thanks for playing.

Finally, updates . . .

I was out of town all last week and couldn't update the site. Sorry. Here was what the standings looked like after we got to the Elite 8:



I will post the updated results for the Final 4 tonight.

More about Davidson . . .

Time was ticking away on the Davidson Wildcats and their rapid rise to college basketball relevance.

Down 11 points at the half and being stymied by Georgetown’s suffocating defense, the shots were clanking, even for sophomore star Stephen Curry. Making good on just 8 of 30 attempts from the field as a team, 2 of 8 by Curry, they were in deep trouble. As off as their efforts were, the Hoyas’ were true, Georgetown firing at a 66.7 percent clip from the field and converting 5 of 7 from three-point distance.

The team that seemingly could do no wrong in its NCAA tournament-opening upset of Gonzaga couldn’t find the hoop and couldn’t stop GU. It looked like the 2½-hour drive back to the Charlotte area was going to be a long and disappointing ride.

Sorry, but Cinderella wasn’t ready for the carriage just yet.

Davidson's for Real and the New Results are Up . . .

WOW!!

He did it again!! I like to watch Stephen Curry about as much as I liked to watch his dad. When I was growing up in Blacksburg, VA, Dell Curry was draining bombs from what would now be the NBA 3-point line in Cassell Coliseum. Why do I say about as much . . . well, Dell wore the Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange of Virginia Tech. Oh how I wish things had been different during the recruiting season of 2006! But for now, I'll just sit back and watch the son of one of my favorite college basketball players show what the NCAA Tournament is about.

Tampa's the Talk of the Tournament . . .

For the first time in the history of the NCAA Tournament all four lower seeds won at a first round location.

Western Kentucky started the madness when Ty Rogers hit a 3 as time ran out in overtime, giving the Hilltoppers a 101-99 win over Drake. Not to be undone, #13 San Diego's De'Jon Jackson hit a jumper with 1.2 seconds left in OT to beat # 4 UConn 70-69. Surely the evening session would restore order for the lower seeds . . . umm, nope.

Any thoughts of the lower seeds winning the night went by the wayside quickly as #13 Siena got off to a fast start and never looked back beating #4 Vanderbilt 82-63. When #5 Clemson and #12 Villanova took the court, no one knew what to expect. Clemson attempted to restore order and ran out to an 18 point lead, then it happened. 'Nova's Scottie Reynolds sparked an incredible comeback and when the clock hit 00:00, the fans sitting in the St. Pete Times Forum had witnessed history when Villanova finished off Clemson 75-69.

What's up in Tampa!! UCONN Goes Down 70-69 to San Diego

The Tampa Regional looks a little different now. Earlier in the day #12 Western Kentucky gave us the first major upset of the Tournament beating #5 Drake. Lightning has struck again with #13 San Diego just upsetting Connecticut in overtime.

So we know we'll have at least on #10 plus seed in the next round as #12 Western Kentucky will take on #13 San Diego with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line!
