Epic battle in the EWR parking lot between me and Rass! And apparently I'm the only guy who didn't know Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest President, but not alone in thinking Rebecca Lobo was a WNBA hall of famer. First name that popped in my head and I avoided thinking it'd be the obvious answer.

2 seed Sybian is up on 7 seed Rass by one point with 13 seconds remaining.

The 8 seed Jerloma is only down two to Ryan with 9 seconds left!

Ljam maintains a slim 59-56 lead on BFJ with about a minute to go.

Another 8 seed in Nonlinear is giving 1 seed AB all he can handle, down 61-59 with about 30 seconds to go.

Let's get down to the court(s).
