* Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Michigan - NCAA Tournament *

[Darrell KSR]

It's Elite 8 time. Can the remaining Cats pick up and win it for Willie?

1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory. If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known with a -- [minus sign], or something else.

2. Predict the game high scorer, AND the total number of points he will score in the game. NOTE--it does not have to be a Kentucky player for this KSR point.

3. Predict the "closer" - the Kentucky player who will score the most points in the final 2 minutes of EACH half, and how many total points he will score.

TB: Number of Kentucky offensive rebounds in the game.

Good luck!

Great pick by Philly! I'm feeling very Krank-like, having missed the last 2 games by 1 point while somebody is just a little bit better.

I'm good with that .

UK +3

[Darrell KSR]

Great pick--nobody else close in the game to Stauskas' 24. But baaaaarely nipped PhillyCat, who also had Stauskas, but at 26. Nicely done, folks.

Stauskas 25.

Final KSR point was "the closer"--in the first half, final 2 minutes, UK scored 5 points--4 from Julius Randle, 1 from Alex Poythress. In the second half, final 2 minutes, UK scored 6 points, all from Aaron Harrison! No doubt who "the closer" was last night.

This time, PhillyCat was barely nipped by....me.

Tiebreaker was offensive rebounds. Kentucky managed a masterful 17, led by none other than Marcus Lee's 7 huge offensive rebounds (4 of them turning into 8 points, as I recall). Who woulda thunk?

And Darrell KSR manages to eek one out for the win.

Man, I am glad we are STILL PLAYING on the final weekend! So much fun!
