FOURTH HWCI OFFICIAL BETTING POOL- NCAA TOURNAMENT `98
=========================

UTES BLOW OUT ARIZONA; TAR HEELS HOLD OFF UCONN
It'll either be Anna Come Lately or Caveman for the top prize

#3W Utah never let defending NCAA champion #1W Arizona in the game
as they roared into the Final Four. Andre Miller had a triple-double,
18 pts-14 rbs-13 asts to lead the Utes. Utah will play #1E North Carolina,
who beat #2E UConn. Arizona became the 2nd #1 seed to not make the
Final Four (following #1MW Kansas) in the year most people thought this
would be the tourney where all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four.

Meanwhile, Arizona's loss knocked four more players out of money
contention, all who had Arizona in the Championship Game: LUCKY FROM SF,
EN FUEGO, UTHPOPE, and SNOW SPICE. EN FUEGO was the only with a chance
of picking all Final Four teams correctly, but Utah spoiled that.
Only two people are left battling for first place, and both may not
know it since we don't have their email addresses. CAVEMAN held onto
first with 107 points while ANNA COME LATELY, thanks to her Utah pick,
is in 2nd with 106 points. ANNA was the only one to pick both games
correctly. UTHPOPE (tied 22nd, 92 pts) was the only one to go 0-2.
In the little drama of the day, BAERSARKE picked up six points for
UNC's win to finish the tourney with 84 points and not set a new
record-low. Twelve still have a chance to win some money. BIX'S PIX'S,
SCOTTMAN, and BUCKEYE MIKE join JOON and PIPI GIRL as the ones who
can't finish higher than fourth place.

Actually, CAVEMAN is assured of either 1st or 2nd place. Full
possibilities for the remaining players will be emailed on Monday.
