Dagny Taggart takes lead and is one of 7 who can win pool
CERRITOS APT (smt)- #1W-Gonzaga hit 7 three-pointers in the first half and never looked back in beating #11W-Xavier, 83-59. It was the Zags 23rd win by 20 or more points (yes, most in the WCC, of course). Of the four #1 seeds, the Zags were the least likely to survive with hot #2W-Arizona in the region. Speaking of Arizona, the Pac 12 had two popular picks to make it far and it would’ve been three if Oregon didn’t suffer the season-ending injury to Chris Boucher. But Boucher or not, #3MW-Oregon scored the last 8 points in the first half to build an 11-point halftime lead and held off #1MW-Kansas, 74-60 and remains the last Pac 12 team standing.
Dboyz17 was one of eight to get both games correct to move into 1st place (118 pts) with GonzagaGirl and Jbwsaijo tied for 2nd (115). 97 went 0-2.
19 lost Kansas as their champ and 82 more lost them in their Final Four. No one will get all four Final Four teams while at least 31 will go 0-for-the-Final-Four.
There are still 33 entries that can finish in the top 7 and just 7 can still win the pool. Danny Taggart has the best chance to win the pool (31.3%) with GonzagaGirl right behind (25.0%). However, it’s GonzagaGirl who has the best chance for money (75.0%) with four others with at least a 50/50 chance.
Despite being 5th (110), Sisyphus86 can’t finish higher Continue reading
