With Syracuse upsetting Virginia the last day of action before the final 4 presented some exciting action AND the triumph of a lower seed. Both Saturday games also had marginal upsets with 2nd seeds beating 1 seeds.
With the final four set we now have the … “Final Four Report”. We’re working on bringing this report to the left hand pane, but in the meantime you can reach it from the hoopness site. The final four report presents all 8 remaining possible outcomes. We’ve got 4 entries in the running for first place and one potential outcome that would result in a tiebreaker scenario (if Villanova beats N. Carolina, TKC2 and quackquack tie with vastly different tiebreakers). “Brock is a Bum” wins it all in three of the remaining 7 outcomes, TKC2 in two of the remaining outcomes, and Toos N Twees and quackquack each winning in one of the remaining outcomes. If Syracuse beats Oklahoma we’ll see a three way tie for 5th place.
None of the outcomes will be an outstanding score from a pool historic standpoint – the winning score will be between 174 and 144 which is in line with the past 5 years of winning scores.
