    Some significant changes in the contest after the games played yesterday. Terry still leads the pack by 10 points, but things could change drastically after todays games. The scores now look more like a contest!:)

    It's all chalk to the final four

    Duke/Houston
    Auburn/Florida.

    While Houston might be the favorite, anyone of those four can win the tournament in my opinion.:) All four #1 seeds in the tournament, remarkable and has never occurred before.

    2008; North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis, and UCLA were all #1 seeds.

    Depending on who wins this evening, will could cause some wild swings in points for the contest.

    I think I could wind up second as my best score left. Can't beat Terry even at my max cuz he would still finish ahead of me. Odds are it will be somebody else unless we both are perfect, including the champion.

    Auburn up by 8 at the half, Johni Broome has had his way down low for the Tigers. Clayton for the Gators has had a good 1st half as well but it's not been enough.

    I see that Cooper Flagg won the Wooden Award, Zion Williamson, Keven Durant and Anthony Davis only other freshmen to win.

    Purdue's Zac Eadey won it the last 2 years.

    That was one of the best games I’ve seen in a long time. Two great defenses against two really good offenses and the defenses set the tone for the game. Hated to see one team have to lose.

    That Florida guard, Walter Clayton, Jr, just was outstanding in the 2nd half and was the reason they won.

    Duke looks very strong vs Huston in first half, playing great defense.

    Houston has made a couple of runs, but Duke keeps putting points up and have extended their lead. Not looking good for Houston.
