It's becoming an annual March tradition. The annual waving good-bye to the Three Amigos. Wait for it..wait for it....here it comes..... ¡Adios Amigos!
Amherst (AP) - The Elders romped out to the lead in a three horse race overtaking the Catholic Boyz keyed by upset victories by VCU (the last team in!) and Kentucky! Elevated to 11 wins and taking two teams into the Final Four made it a magical Elite Eight weekend for the old guys. A major matchup in Saturday night's JV game between Butler and VCU may decide this year's Calcutta.
The Catholic Boyz hung on to a tremendous Butler victory on Saturday night to keep them sitting alone in second place and with an opportunity to grab a share of the Calcutta lead with a victory Saturday and a Kentucky loss against UConn. They parlayed their hot opening round wins and have hung around with #8 seed Butler, America's darlings.
The Bunch of Chieftans assured that they would hit the board with a solid UConn showing against Arizona. They can create a three way tie for the whole enchilada with a sweep in the Final Four and a Butler win on Saturday. Wouldn't that be something?
The Tres Amigos were looking pretty good on Friday night with Arizona and UNC advancing to Regional Final games on the weekend. Unfortunately both teams took first half siestas and didn't have the legs to complete a run to the final four. They complete the superfecta in fourth, but alas out of the money again. Thanks for coming. Look on the bright side, Roy Williams still has four timeouts left....
The Win-Docs came in like a lion and went out like a lamb this March as top seeds Duke and Kansas bit the dust. Looks like Artie won't be scheduling any meetings in Rochester next year.
The Counselors couldn't hack the morning line favorite noose I laid on them and watched in horror as better seed after better seed was upset. The last being Florida who took a terrible shot at the end.
As projected, the bottom of the Calcutta was the Tax Men (7th) and The Commish (8th/last/basement dweller).
