The Big Win Tournament — A Chalky Final Four
For those unfamiliar with the term, a tournament is said to be “chalk” when the favorites win. It goes back to horse racing, so I guess you can watch “The Sting” if you want to get a feel for it.
Regardless, it’s an apt term for how this final week of the Big Win Tournament has started. We’ve seen our share of upsets these last four weeks, including AC’s 61-point effort not only winning its week in an upset but almost winning the following week as well. That trend ended with a big ol’ thump today, though, as not only did all of the favorites win their Elite Eight matchups, they all did so decisively.
