The First Four Tips Off Tonight

Bold predictions are flying and the First Four officially tips off tonight in Dayton. While the whole world watches UMBC/Howard and Texas/NC State, we are in a race to fill the March squares board before the full field takes the court on Thursday. We are entering the final forty-eight hours of our recruitment blitz.

For a full board, the total pot reaches $1,500 We are paying out $1,275 to our winners, while the Den keeps $225 dollars. This covers two months of our off-season storage costs. Every square you buy directly helps us keep the equipment safe and ready for the fall.

Squares Board

We have exactly 68 spots left on the board as of 10:30 AM. At the rate they are going, we expect to be fully boxed out by tomorrow afternoon.
