We Are Now 1/3 Complete with Conference Tournaments

So we are now at the 1/3 point of conference tournament completion and we only have 5 days left until Selection Sunday!

If you have not yet made arrangements to pay...

Below are the current standings and the contenders are really starting to rise to the top, we still have 2 players with 0 wins.

• Galpin, who I don't think has ever watched a college basketball game before, is DOMINATING this pool, I mean he is making history with some of his stats
• He has 8 wins already, 11 points, and a 61% winning percent
• Go Manchester United?  or Man City?
• Behind Galpin we have 11 players that are right in the thick of it, good to see lot's of people with a shot to win
• The bottom half is starting to get to the point where catching up is impossible, but with bonus points, upsets, and luck, anything can happen, and at least 23 people are in this until Saturday

Current Standings

In the afternoon we had 2 early round ACC games and only 1 impacted our pool. Wake Forest lost to Virginia Tech and resulted in another loss for Doug.

The important games today were all championships so let's look at what happened during these games and how it impacted the pool.

Early Games

• Green Bay went down in flames to Valparaiso after having the game in hand for pretty much the entire time
• Most of us had Green Bay so lot's of losses were handed out from this game 
• St Francis NY Brooklyn or whatever they are called lost to Robert Morris, similar to Green Bay, SFNYBU had the game in hand until the end and choked it away;  It even ended with a SFNYBU guy missing 3 free throws with 2 seconds left
• Galpin, Rachel, and Ron cleaned up with Valpo and Robert Morris!

 

Late Games

• South Dakota State lost to North Dakota State, and when I Google images for South Dakota State Basketball, chicks come up, that's how bad the men's team is!
• Even though they didn't look dominant, Gonzaga easily took care of BYU, which really made things bad for Aardvark Tina
• Mark Few does Cocaine 

 

Tomorrow, we only have 1 conference championship game, and 0 conference championship games Thursday and Friday.  Only the Patriot League will play a championship game tomorrow and the flurry of activity will come throughout the day on Saturday.  By Saturday evening we'll have a clear picture of who can win this pool.

The Patriot League championship should determine the winner of the bonus money for the lowest winning seed side pot.

• Safka has 6 seed American University, which would be next to impossible for anyone to top if they win
• Jack has 4 seed Lafayette, a win would put him in the lead and it's unlikely anyone would have a lower seed win over the next 5 days

Good Luck and Win Some Money!!
