Quote of the day
"Offensively, we played very, very well and we had to play very, very well. … This was a great, great game." -- Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim, after a close, close win over Wisconsin to advance to the elite, elite eightDaily blurb
Last night’s Syracuse-Wisconsin game was in doubt until the final nano-second. The other three games – not so much. Tonight’s schedule features three double-digit seeds. If any of them manages to survive to the Final Four, that will really scramble the Market Madness standings, as the Final Four bonus is 10 times the seed value. Two of the RIBC baseball drafts are complete (both AA leagues). The two AA leagues plus the RIBC itself are in rounds 17-19, and should finish early next week. It’s at this time of the draft that rationales begin morphing into rationalizations. But that’s not to diminish the value of these picks. Finding a few sleepers that pan out can turn an average team into a contender. The cut line for the Arnold Palmer Invitational currently stands at +3, and seems likely to get to +4 or even +5, assuming that today’s scoring is similar to Thursday’s. That’s no big surprise. Last year, those at +4 made the cut in this event. |
