Analytics vs. SelCom Update

** San Francisco vs. West Virginia

Talk about close! San Fran almost pulled it off but the Mountaineers are in their second straight final four, 71-70! Turnovers almost did them in, but West Virginia shot 52% and controlled the boards, with Demarcus Woods(10-19 fg, 22 pts) the focal point. And with that, we take an equally narrow lead.

Current Score -- Analytics 5, SelCom 4

Form held elsewhere in the Elite 8, with the exception of defending champion Kansas having their season ended by Kentucky. They'll next try to pull the magic again taking on Kansas State in a wildcat tussle, but we don't see them being quite good enough to pull it off.

** Washington vs. West Virginia

We're still riding our horse here. Washington has a couple of competitive wins over teams(Duquesne, Seattle) that we don't think are nearly as good as West Virginia. We're tipping the Mountaineers now to get back to a second straight championship game, though it's certainly a shot in the arm for the Huskies and the PCC as a whole that they made it this far. If WV does win, that should pretty much ice this contest for us.

In the NIT, it was a couple more upsets with Syracuse and Columbia now meeting for the title there. The Lions are definitely the surprise team of the post-season as far as we're concerned. Who knows who takes this but we are sticking with the favored Orangemen, nothing to contest here.
