Welcome back sports fans. For the men, the Sweet 16 games are played, and the Elite 8 is set. The GCR prediction so far is a cool 8-0 (plus 4-0 for the women). This blog is about the men. Look for one tomorrow morning for the women’s Elite 8 before I head to Chicago for the week.
…..
Each of the 4 games today/tomorrow has an SEC team meaning a) the SEC joined the Big East and the ACC as the only conferences to ever have 4 of the final 8 spots, and b) there’s a chance (~9.6% according the GCR) that the SEC will own the Final Four. There’s just a ~3.3% chance of the conference being shut out completely. Based on the table below, the GCR is predicting 2 SEC teams to accompany an ACC squad and a Big 12 squad. Here are all 4 games:
| Team (Conf) | Record/ Rank | GCR Score | Team (Conf) | Record/ Rank | GCR Score | Winner/ Pct to Win |
| Texas Tech (B12) | 28-8/13 | 58.28 | Florida (SEC) | 33-4/2 | 69.69 | FLA 67.1% |
| Alabama (SEC) | 28-8/5 | 68.62 | Duke (ACC) | 34-3/4 | 68.89 | DUKE 50.4% |
| Tennessee (SEC) | 30-7/6 | 65.83 | Houston (B12) | 33-4/3 | 68.94 | HOU 54.7% |
| Michigan St (B10) | 30-6/7 | 64.49 | Auburn (SEC) | 31-5/1 | 73.69 | AUB 63.8% |

That’s it for today. Enjoy the games, both men’s and women’s today, and check back in tomorrow for the next episode. Thank you for reading and, as always, especially for sharing with others, G.
