2001 HWCI NCAA TOURNAMENT POOL ==============================
TOP 2 TEAMS IN PRESEASON BATTLE FOR TITLE
Topsy-turvy pool settles with Robinson crowned champ

EL SEGUNDO, CA (smt)-- The Duke Blue Devils had to go through three Pac-10 teams (would've been four if Stanford didn't choke to Maryland) to capture their third NCAA title in 11 years. The preseason #1 and 2 (Arizona and Duke) met for the 2001 Final. Arguably one of the most exciting first rounds in recent memory, the last three rounds featured some great games but no buzzer beaters. In fact, in the last 31 games (last 5 rounds), only two games were decided by less than four points- and one of those games, BC decided to go for two points against USC instead of trying for a three to tie- therefore a lack of drama. Which brings us to the final thoughts on the tournament.

And my final pool thoughts:
