NCAA Regional “Semis” Update

Last night, both Duke and Alabama scored or exceeded 100 points and now will face each other in the East Regional final to be played tomorrow, in Newark, New Jersey.

Duke won 5 titles under Mike Krzyzewski from 1991-2017 while ‘Bama seeking just its second national semi appearance but second in a row, won 6 titles just under Nick Saban (2008-2017), to go along with 5 under the legendary Paul”Bear” Bryant and one under Gene Stallings, that with Derrick Lassic in 1992.

Elsewhere, Texas Tech, a hard luck national final game losing team vs Virginia in 2019 (the Bell rung but no “returns’), survived Arkansas in overtime, and will meet so highly regarded, Florida in the West Region Final, also tomorrow and in the city in which Tony Bennett (the great singer, not the 2019, title winning Virginia coach) “left his heart” (credit “Ark” which also did), San Francisco, California in tomorrow’s earlier regional final.

Both Duke and Florida, certainly on a possible “collision course” toward a title game clash, are 6 plus points favorites tomorrow.
