Thursday March 15, 2007; Hayley's Cyber Café; Reefside, California

Ethan, Billy, Kat, and Justin have all gathered at Hayley's Cyber Café to watch the Stanford – Louisville game.

"Hayley thanks for letting us watch the games here," said Justin.

"No problem guys, especially with the Cardinal about to play. I'm just glad I got the new set-up so that I can have each game on one of the four TV's. I'm glad Stanford plays now because when school gets out this place will be packed with people watching," said Hayley.

Just then the door opened and Kim walked in.

"I had a feeling you guys would be watching here, since everyone else is either back at school or out of town I thought I would join you to watch some games," said Kim.

Two hours later

"And your final score here from Lexington, Louisville defeats Stanford 78-58," said the TV announcer.

"Wow that was not good at all," said Ethan.

"May be we shouldn't have had Stanford winning it all," said Justin.

"I can't believe they team the way they did, it's like they didn't care," said Kat.

"It's highly unlikely that was the case, its seems that the game plan and execution of the Louisville team was much more thought out and prepared for then of our beloved Cardinal," said Billy.

With Trini not there everyone looked at Hayley.

"He said Louisville played better then Stanford," said Hayley.

"Ok then lets get ready for the next games. Washington State it on, lets see if we can see Jase, Tommy, Rocky, Aisha, and TJ," said Kim.

Arco Arena; Sacramento, California

"Wow that was a great day of action," said Jason.

"Yeah and the food was great," said Rocky, as everyone just laughed at him.

"That's right, and the Cougars were awesome," said TJ.

"Yeah in the second half," said Aisha.

"Whatever Sha, the Cougs played their game and won, just like always, I feel sorry for Vanderbilt. Besides they did better then UCLA," said TJ.

"Whatever man, UCLA controlled throughout, Washington State only did good in the second half, and the score shows it, each scored 70, but UCLA only gave up 42," said Tommy.

"Whatever, Indiana is going to take them, I got it in my bracket," said TJ.

"And all of use got Vandy winning," said Rocky.

"Ok guys lets get our tickets for Saturday and get to the hotel," said Jason.

Friday March 16, 2007; LBSU Soccer Players House; Long Beach, California

"And your final score here from Columbus, Tennessee puts on an offensive showcase in defeating the 49ers from Long Beach State 121-86," said the TV announcer.

All of the LBSU men's soccer players sat in the house shocked, shocked that their team got destroyed and gave up 121 point. Of all of them Conner was the most shocked.

"What have I done," said Conner.

"What's the matter Conner," asked another player.

"In the only money pool I'm in, I picked us to win it all," said Conner.

"Wow you're fucked," said the player, as Conner hung his head.

Trent and Kira's apartment; Reno, Nevada

"And your final score in overtime Nevada hangs on to defeat Creighton 77-71," says the announcer.

"Wow baby that was too close," said Kira.

"I know Kira, but they still won, and that's all that matters, survive and advance," Trent told her.

"I know, and Memphis didn't impress me at all, I think we'll take them easily," Kira said.

"Me too Kira," Trent said as he planted a kiss on Kira.

Spokane Arena; Spokane, Washington

"Wow the Ducks didn't look good at all today baby," said Cassie.

"Don't worry Cass, it's all about survive and advance, and that's what they did, and I'm sure they'll be ready for Winthrop," said Carlos as he kissed Cassie.

Adam, Tanya, Zack, and Trini just laughed.

"What about that other team that won today, the USC TROJANS," said Zack.

"That's right USC won by 17 vs. and SEC school," said Trini.

"Whatever, we all know Arkansas shouldn't have been in the tournament. Now they got to face Texas, no way they stop Durant," says Carlos.

"Whatever Carlos, Durant can get all the points he wants as long as they stop the others," said Tanya.

Tanya and Adam then shared a kiss, as did Trini and Zack. Carlos and Cassie just laughed.

"Alright lovebirds, lets get some tickets for Sunday," said Cassie.

Hayley's Cyber Café; Reefside, California

"Wow the Rebs looked awesome today," said Karone.

"I know they are so going to win it all," said Ashley.

Hayley just rolled her eyes and laughed at Ashley.

"Calm down you two, yes they Rebels won, but they blew a big lead, they can't do that against Wisconsin," said Andros.

"Yeah we gotta hope Wisconsin plays poor like they did today," said Zhane.

"Hello you guys, what about the best team out there winning, I mean the Gators put 112 up today," said Kim.

"That's only because they played a 16 seed," said Ashley.

"Whatever the Gators proven their awesomeness, and will dominate everyone else, starting with Purdue, or should I say Purdon't," said Kim.

Hayley, Andros, Zhane, Karone, and Ashley just laughed at Kim.

Saturday March 17, 2007; Arco Arena; Sacramento, California

TJ, Aisha, Rocky, Tommy, and Jason were leaving Arco Arena.

"What's a matter TJ, cat got your tongue," asked Aisha.

"More like Commodore," said Rocky.

"So what happened to Washington State winning it all and Indiana beating UCLA," asked Tommy.

"Whatever guys, it was still a great game, two overtimes, beside I had Pitt winning the West Region anyway," said TJ.

"Sha, Rock, Tommy, we can get our tickets for San Jose hear, so lets get it over with," said Jason.

"Ok," the three responded.

"Then we can get some food, I'm starving," said Rocky.

Sunday March 18, 2007; Trent and Kira's apartment; Reno, Nevada

"Your final here from New Orleans, Memphis 78 Nevada 62, the Tigers are on to the Sweet 16 in San Antonio to face Texas A&M," said the TV announcer.

"Man I can't believe Memphis won," I guess we are done when it comes to the pool," said Kira.

"Don't worry Kira there is always next year. How about we going see a movie to cheer us up," said Trent.

"I like the sound of that, let me just get ready," said Kira as she kissed Trent and went to get ready.

Spokane Arena; Spokane, Washington

"See man we told you it wouldn't matter if Durant got his points as long as they shut down the others," said Adam.

"I guess you proved me wrong, Adam, but I am glad both of our teams won," said Carlos.

"Yeah that's right, USC shocked Durant and Texas, and now its time to take out number one," said Tanya.

"That's right Tanya, those Heels won't know what hot them," said Zack.

"So you two, what are you going to do now that Oregon has to play UNLV," asked Trini.

"She's right I totality forgot about that," said Cassie.

"I guess we'll have to come up with an interesting bet for our teammates," said Carlos.

Hayley's Cyber Café; Reefside, California

"How bout them Rebels," screamed Andros as he and Zhane chest bumped after UNLV upset Wisconsin.

"Dude that was such an awesome game," said Zhane.

"Boys you do realize who UNLV plays next," asked Karone.

"Yeah Oregon," said Andros, unaware of the circumstances.

"And who do we know went to Oregon and are Oregon fans," said Ashley.

"Oh yeah Cassie and Carlos, we'll have to watch the game with them," said Zhane.

"And come up with a bet," said Andros with a smile on his face.

Just then Kim walked in.

"Wow you guys that was too close," said Kim.

"See we told you every game wouldn't be a blowout," said Ashley.

"I know Ash, and I believe that now, I'm just glad they won. And look who they play next, Butler, I mean who names their school after someone who serves on rich people in their mansion," asked Kimberly.
