We are down to the final two Elite 8 games that will determine our Final Four match-ups next weekend. DK is offering another $20K to 1st place in this four-team, two game tourney. The first match-up puts Gonzaga versus USC as the Zags look to continue the dream season. The nightcap has UCLA (the last remaining cinderella) taking on Michigan, the sole survivor from the B1G. Like yesterday both games will be featured in showdowns as well, so let's get to it! Gonzaga -8.5, (153) - 6:15USC v. GonzagaUSC’s #1 2-point FG% defense will face off against the Zags #1 2-point FG% offense per kenpom. Despite USCs top 5 overall defense, Vegas expects a lot of points in this one

Elite 8 Monday
And then there were 8... After an exciting Saturday and Sunday the 16 teams have been cut in half, and after tonight and tomorrow we will know our Final Four. DraftKings is giving us a 2-game main slate each day with showdowns available for each contest. Another $20,000 will be awarded to 1st place on the main slate and it looks like the Showdown's will pay $1,000 to first on each. I don't know about you, but $22,000 seems like a nice way to start the week! As for tonight's games it starts with Houston and Oregon State at 6:15 and wraps up with Arkansas vs Baylor. Oregon State, a 12-seed, is the lowest seeded team remaining in the tourney and

Sweet 16 Saturday
Hard to believe, but we only have 15 games left in the NCAA tournament. If the first weekend of the tournament was an indication, we've got a lot more fun ahead of us.

Monday Heat Closes Amazing Opening Weekend!
It has been a tournament to forget for the B1G as Illinois, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Ohio State, Purdue, and Michigan State have all been voted off So You Think You Can Dance - NCAA 2021 edition. Today Michigan, Ohio State and Maryland represent the leagues last hopes. These squads will be battling with 13 other teams over 8 games as the final spots in the Sweet 16 are earned. Is there more drama ahead? Can Abilene Christian repeat the efforts of Oral Roberts? Will LSU be a Loyola-Chicago? I know one thing.... DraftKings is giving us another $15 - $20,000 to 1st tournament to enjoy as many of us head back to the (still virtual) office. Hopefully said work space is equipped
