Vampire Weekend managed to stave off the attack from the "Fab Four plus One", 79-66. Rostam Batmanglij netted 21 points as the Weekend sucked the life out of The Beatles. Shooting 56.7% from the field during the first half helped The Vampire to a 42-30 lead at the break. That was a good thing, as The Beatles, behind John Lennon's 14 second-half points, played virtually even during the second session. "Let me tell ya", Tony Signore shouted to a sell-out crowd, "this year we're going to kick the sonuvabitchin' door in!"
And now the Vampire Weekend gets to walk into the Buzzsaw known as 1-seeded, Leonard Cohen.
