Hey folks!

First pic: Black and white photos of three young Black men, arranged in a circle as if you are on the ground and they are looking down at you from above. The background is very bright yellow. There are hand drawn flower shapes in blue and orange arranged around them. Second pic: It's Queen Latifah! She's a tall, strong, proud sexy Black woman wearing a black uniform, slightly miltaristic in the Janet Jackson RHYTHM NATION way. The background is blank white.

Yesterday, #42 The Wedding Present, BIZARRO defeated #23 Indigo Girls, INDIGO GIRLS, 91-89. BIZARRO led by about 10 votes two hours before the end of the match, and INDIGO GIRLS was closing in at the end. If the match had lasted a little longer, I think this would’ve been a different result.

Thanks for the nailbiter!
