The second game in Triple Play is over...
The under dog Texas A&M crushed North Carolina 86 - 65
Congratulations Ice, you finally won a Square.

In a non Triple Play game, Syracuse beat Michigan State 55 - 53
This gives lesbilove a Squares win.

The last Triple Play game is at the half with Cincinnati crushing Nevada.

The rest of the games haven't started or are in the early stages.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, FL

John, on Tuesday my brother and his wife will fly down to Florida (from Maine) and will stay at an apartment in Jupiter for seven days, slightly more than a five minute walk from the Marlins' and Cardinals' shared stadium (above). Apart from sightseeing, they'll attend Marlin spring training games and watch practice sessions for both teams. Unfortunately, the Yankees won't be playing there that week.

MARCH MADNESS SQUARES
ROUND 2 - DAY TWO WINNERS

Round 2 continued today. We had eight games at 100 WRZ$ per game.
Alcibiades kept the streak alive by winning for the fourth straight day... keeping the lead at +450 WRZ$ overall.
lesbilove was the big winner today hitting twice on 5/3
Ice FINALLY won a square with 6/5, and we had two other first time winners.

This leaves us with 15 games remaining... and a 45% for anybody to win.
Plus, all the remaining games pay more than the entry fee.

As a reminder, here are the numbers and the payoff grid.

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #20
TRIPLE PLAY - DAY TWO

Like yesterday, the first two games cleared most people off the table. While Purdue won, Texas A&M, a big under dog, beat North Carolina.
Only 5 people picked Texas, and out of those, only 3 had Butler. So again, it came down to the last game for a HUGE payout.
The favorite, Cincinnati, had a 21 point lead early in the second half... it looked over for Nevada. But NOOOOOOOOOOO... Cincy choked BIG TIME and Nevada came back to beat them by 2 at the buzzer.

Congratulation lesbilove. You are our only winner and get ALL THE WRZ$.

John, have a look at all the baseball diamonds north of Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter! Tucked in-between them are a couple of mini-diamonds for infield practice, with no outfield. And just out of the shot are a couple football fields and a soccer field and a few other sporting areas that I can't identify. Then there's the golf course . . . My brother will be staying somewhere in the Abacoa area . . . will know in a couple of days.

[johngriffen]

The golf course by the Stadium is actually called the Abacoa Golf Club. While it is a public course, it is one of the better ones in the state. I played it once years ago and I think I liked it
but with my memory, you never know

It's a great place to be this time year if you are trying to escape the snow.

John, my brother still plays golf (as do all of his four children) and I wonder if he's going to take his clubs with him on the trip.



I might tell him about this beautiful course . . . and pass on your recommendation!

[Alcibiades]

Wow, fourth win!! It seems all the bad luck lately I had in the luck-based games is paying off here!

[Alcibiades]

I would (tentatively) say the second answer to #11 (besides Dean Smith) for Sports Center Quizz is Roy Williams.

[johngriffen]

Yeah... you are on a roll. And it was nice for you to hit two games with the same 5/3 combo yesterday.
So no matter what else happens, you've made a good profit.
