The Kansas upset incoming

[flexmaster33]

We've got half of our Elite Eight filled out with #23 Nebraska and #16 Kansas pulling off major upsets to get to that point.

[Riskmaster101]

Kansas Gonzaga finished our volatile series in record time. Was quite the duel.

[reptile]

Nebraska's luck may have ran out. going first in 1/8 and 1/13 of the 1v1 games I joined overall today in tournaments.

It was a hell of a run though I will be fighting to the bitter end.

[flexmaster33]

And we've got our first Final Four team with #8 seed Gonzaga squeaking past Kansas 71-70 in the Elite 8 matchup. The 6th man hit the winning shot at the buzzer for the Bulldogs.

[flexmaster33]

And a heads up I've got 3 teams still available in this NBA Playoffs tourney that I'm hoping to get off the ground around the weekend.

Bulldogs on a tear

Bulldogs on a tear

Yes, yes, they are. Quite a postseason that Gonzaga is putting together.

Gonzaga is into the NCAA title game, awaiting an opponent.

[flexmaster33]

Gonzaga is onto the NCAA championship game, while Oakland and James Madison are the last Elite Eight matchup to get underway.

#2 seed Oregon State is putting the finishing touches on Nebraska to advance to the Final Four.

And in the NIT, we are closing in on an all-Washington final.

Washington has advanced to the NIT title game and is awaiting the winner of Oklahoma vs. Washington State.

Let's go Washington State. Let's make it an NIT Apple Cup!!

[flexmaster33]

We've got one Elite Eight match still underway with Oregon State awaiting the winner, and Gonzaga already locked into the finals.

I'll update the NIT tomorrow. It seems we have a 1-point game in the Washington State vs. Oklahoma semifinal, so I want to double check the scoring before posting the official result.

[flexmaster33]

And it's clear it will be Oregon State vs. James Madison in the other national semifinal.

[flexmaster33]

All right after more than 800 games and 2,500 maps, we are active in our final with #2 Oregon State (26-7) taking on #8 Gonzaga (24-12) for the NCAA title this season.

We have James Madison taking on NJIT in the third-place game (which they still did that in the real tourney), and Washington is off to an early lead over Washington State in the NIT final.

[flexmaster33]

Score updates...Gonzaga is up 23-21 early in the title game; James Madison holds a five-point lead in the 3rd-place game and Washington State dominates bench play to give themselves a chance in the NIT title game. Good matches going!!!

[Riskmaster101]

GG to Oregon state… was a fun final.

[bfunny27]

GG WSU was a fun NIT Final.

Great Tournament as always Flex!

[flexmaster33]

Oregon State (aaronvollrath) is our champion with a 27-7 record, winning a wild one 73-72 over Gonzaga in the title game. The difference came by taking the B1 map and getting that 6th man bonus.

James Madison and Mass Miracle won the third-place match -- a tight 74-71 win over NJIT, and Washington is the NIT champ.

Thanks for playing everyone. We'll be back next year!!!

Anyone looking for a similar summer hoops tourney, I'll be putting a WNBA season into signups here in the next 24 hours or so!!!
