30 Straight Points! The NCAA Block Squares Pool

By now you have heard or read everything you need to about UCONN delivering a 30-0 run last night to batter a good Illinois team. Illinois went 50 real time minutes and more than 9 game minutes without a point. During that period, Illinois missed 17 consecutive shots and for the game shot 25%. This for the most efficient offense in the country coming into the game. How bad was it? How about some social media...

And then there was Donovan Clingan. On shots he contested, Illinois was 0-19. He also had a pretty good game offensively. Again, the hyperbole from social media...

Two days ago, I raved about this team noting that I watched a beating in which nothing was memorable. Last night, UCONN decided to make me pay attention. 

I don't have much on the Alabama game except the shot chart from that game against Clemson. Just look at this! It is simply amazing. 

The game has changed my friends. And Alabama, welcome to your first Final Four.

For the Block Squares Pool, Scott Walters and Devin McDonough were our two winners last night. 

And just a reminder, I will start sending payouts tonight and tomorrow for the first four rounds.
