Los Links April 21st

Books for all: Google ended up winning their court fight to be able to scan books for Google Books when the Supreme Court passed on hearing an appeal by the Authors Guild.  Its a win overall for book lovers, as long as Google keeps it to snippets instead of full scans.

NCAA Mens Championship game 2016 Charts



Another season of college basketball comes to a close tomorrow night.  With what has been one of the wildest seasons in the game's storied history, it is a bit of a let down that we get treated to the preseason number 1 and number 11 teams.  But, this should be a great game, as both teams have hit a wonderful stride in the tournament.  Villanova was able to just stomp all over Oklahoma, posting over a 1.5 points per possession mark.  The Tar Heels themselves had the most efficient offense this season, posting a 127 ORtg mark and were able to match that last night against the Syracuse zone.  They also were able to hold the Orange to just 1 point per possession.
