The Sweet Sixteen is whittled down to the Twelve Titans! West Virginia and Xavier made it a buzzer beater game; the others were won by comfortable margins. Tennessee and West Virginia's departure have moved the standings and overall points around. Sue's still at the head of the class, both with total points and remaining possible points. Betty .. you are in the rarefied air of the top three players! Arlene looks vulnerable on the total points front. The rising star candidates are Michele and Gary with total points possible of 160.

As of 3/27/08, the standings are:

Player Points Possible Points

1 Sue 59 167
2 Arlene 58 114
3 Betty W 56 152
4 DenaH 54 150
4 Anne 54 142
6 mellen 53 153
