Dave's Final 4 Point Play

Below is my hopefully humorous Final 4-point play. Below that is the list of all the folks who still have a shot at coming in first –fourth in the “Free” pool. I opted not to put together a separate list of people who claim to know a lot about college hoops, but have no chance at winning the pool – because I would be on top.

Final 4 Point Play –
1.Butler – So, odds are that you, like most folks, are leaning toward rooting for the underdog Bulldogs to win it all. Before you commit, let me give you a little bit of info about the founder of Butler University that may change your mind. He was an attorney.

2.Duke – During their game against the “play-in” winner, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, the Blue Devil Mascot wore a headband that read “Played In/Blown Out.” Given that Duke’s win on Sunday was due to awful officiating, their mascot should be forced to wear a different headband this weekend. One that reads, “Fix’s In/Bailed Out.”

3.West Virginia –I’ve been told that WV’s guard, Joe Mazzulla has acquired the nickname “Corn Oil”. I’m guessing that’s because of Mazola Corn Oil. Then again, it could be because he has some kind of greasy foot issue.

4.Michigan State – Oregon reportedly offered to make Tom Izzo the highest paid coach in college basketball. Should it really take that much to convince him to leave the state of Michigan. I mean, half that state is currently filled with unemployed people. And the other half is filled with Michael Moore.
