As we close in on the final rounds of the bracket, I kinda figured the voting would start to get closer and closer -- last week was certainly proof of that.

All four matchups were fairly even, and a couple went right down to the wire with Rich Reese and Ryne Duren squeaking into the next round by a single vote. Also I knew the Rudi and Pettis cards were popular, but I'm not sure I expected them to make this serious of a run deep into the tournament.

And so the first half of the Elite Eight is decided...
