UPDATE: Frogs O’ War Survivor Pool, Elite 8

Our field is down to the final survivors, can any make it to the Final 4?

NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament-Midwest Regional-Auburn vs North Carolina
Auburn stunned the Tar Heels to move into the Elite Eight

The Sweet Sixteen brought the drama and great games that we crave out of March Madness. Coach K and Duke survived again, saved by their opponent’s unfriendly rim. Tennessee worked back from a huge deficit to take the lead late, but couldn’t come away with a second consecutive OT win. But there were also blowouts as Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Michigan State, and Auburn thoroughly outclassed their opponents.

The surviving entries in our pool were cut down in about half, primarily by the Vol and Tar Heel losses - accounting for 11 of the eliminations from this round. We have our own super sixteen advancing to the next round.

In the Elite Eight, entrants only have to select one winner for the weekend. This was the round that crowned a winner last season. Will any of these still be alive to make a Final Four?
