Yes, my bracket is busted, but congrats to our Rock Chalk Jayhawks who beat the Duke Bluedevils in that classic matchup between 2 wiley veteran hall of fame coaches and in overtime! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As things now stand, Susan Tabor maintains a commanding lead with 243 pointes and is in eighth place in the master pool as reported by Terrill Thompson in his summary. Stacey Geiermann moves into second place with 215 points, just 28 points behind Susan. Joe Kochanski moves all the way up to third placed with 204 points. Joe helped himself considerably by picking Michingan to make the Final Four. Renee Morgan drops from second to a very close fourth place right behind Joe with 201 points.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Neither Renee nor Susan have anything to gain in the first semi-final round, since neither one picked Michigan State or Loyola Chicago to make the cut. So enjoy the last 3 games of this wild and thrilling tourney. Whatever happens to our Jayhawks, KU has had an amazing roller coaster season which can be much attributed to the keen competitiveness of the Big 12 Conference.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best to all from the Jayhawk NFB Bracketology bunker<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
