I’m no knowledgeable concerning the scoring system for Scuttleball, however I favored my possibilities to win this most well-known pool for the School Division I Males’s Basketball Match.
Sure, I had dropped from the result in third going into the Closing 4 video games, however I used to be behind Matt Brock and Mark DeGuire. They each had College of Florida to win all of it, and I had Duke. The Blue Devils seemed bulletproof by way of the event, and have been the betting favourite to win all of it.
With 4 faculties remaining, Florida seemed beatable as they beat Auburn, whereas Duke bolted out of the gate in opposition to the College of Houston. They have been cruising with a 14-point lead, and no workforce had ever misplaced a 14-point lead within the Closing 4.
Duke was en path to the Championship recreation, they might crush Florida, and I might win Scuttleball. The one downside with the plan was I hate Duke, and now I actually hate them.
Unbelievably, Houston wiped away the deficit over the ultimate eight minutes, embarrassing the Blue Devils as sure victory grew to become the last word defeat. I might have loved this a lot extra if I hadn’t picked Duke to win, however that’s what occurs once you depend on 18-year-olds for happiness.
So, props to Matt and Mark, as they each picked Florida and Houston within the Finals. Nevertheless, sitting sixth within the Scuttleball rating is Leigh Ann Litton who additionally picked Florida and Houston within the Finals, however she has Houston successful. If that occurs, my math has her because the Scuttleball champion… I believe.
Florida is favored by 1.5 factors within the Championship recreation tonight (April 7) on the affordable west coast time of 5:50pm PDT. March Insanity in April… like it!
