THE NORTH & SOUTH ADVANCE
After watching the Gamecocks take control of a tie game with 3 minutes left in the second half to defeat the Gators 77-70.. We later witnessed The Tar Heels hit a game winning shot with 0.3 seconds left in regulation to knock out Kentucky... Its no surprise to see North Carolina going to the Final 4 but it was a long shot to see the Gamecocks make it for the first time...
Gonzaga and South Carolina will make their first Final 4 appearance and Oregon their first since 1939.. The Tar Heels will face the Ducks and The Gamecocks play Gonzaga so one of these teams will play in the title game for the first time..
After watching 2 blowouts Saturday, Sunday's games kept you on the edge of your seat to the final seconds... The favorites went 1-2-1 ATS and only 1 game went over the total...
Good Luck ..... Danny B
Gonzaga & Oregon Roll
Gonzaga lead by 10 at the half and never looked back as they covered the 8 point spread and mauled Xavier 83-59.. The Zags are the 1st team from the WCC since 1957 to reach the Final 4 and are 2 wins away from a National Title.. Gonzaga will face the winner of South Carolina/Florida which tips off at 2:20 today..
The Ducks who were a 7 point underdog dominated Kansas in Kansas City without one of their best players 74-60.. Hitting amazing 3 point shots throughout the game Oregon is headed to their first Final 4 since 1939. Kansas pulled within 6 points late in the game but the Ducks answered quickly with a key rebound that turned the momentum around.. Oregon awaits the winner of the Kentucky/North Carolina game..
