Elite 8 Meets Underdog

The tournament is winding down but the action is heating up. Last night the SEC put the nation on notice as the conference claimed three spots. First South Carolina continued their impressive run with an impressive win over Baylor. It’s the first Elite 8 appearance for the Gamecocks. Florida later added to the SEC’s claim to the Elite 8 after Chris Chiozza’s buzzer-beater three knocked off Wisconsin in OT.

Lastly Kentucky defeated UCLA avenging an early season defeat by the Bruins at Rupp.

It wouldn’t be March Madness if Cinderella didn’t make an appearance. This year’s Cinderella hails from Cincinnati as the Xavier Musketeers stunned 2 seed Arizona late Thursday night (actually it was early Friday morning.) X takes on Gonzaga today for the first ticket to this year’s Final Four. Regardless of this game’s winner, it will result in the first trip to the Final Four for either program.

Lastly our pool remains wide open. However I have not received word back regarding payment for the below entries. I’m worried that my change in email address has caused some to possibly miss these emails. Thus I will allow anyone listed to still pay thus keeping their brackets alive. However this offer ends Monday. I would hate to remove 12 entries so if you personally know anyone listed  below please give them a heads up.

Please use the PayPal option on the HoopsHysteria site or Pay a Friend option otherwise I get charged a fee and well that’s not cool.

Good luck to everyone.
