NCAA TOURNAMENT
POOL STANDINGS
Elite 8 Day 2
The
Elite 8 is complete, and Syracuse is the surprise of the ball. Most people did not think that Syracuse
should have even been in the tournament, and now they are one of four teams
left, which includes the top seeded North Carolina Tar Heels. See you in Houston Tar Heel and Orange fans
(excepting Donald Trump).
North
Carolina was an overwhelming selection to make it to the Final Four, so if you
did not pick the Tar Heels, you lost ground in the pool. Nobody had Syracuse in the Final Four, so
everybody that selected North Carolina wins the “Pick of the Day” award.
The
“Worst Pick of the Day” goes to Keith
Bornhorst, who had North Carolina into the Elite 8, and then did not select
a Final Four winner from that quadrant.
Greg Kummerlen and Glen Merchant remain in the lead, but
Greg has maxxed out his points, as he has no remaining points to earn. In fact, a large number of entrants have
reached the highest amount of points that they can. In the standings below, I have noted who has
winners/runners-up remaining. For
possible winners of the pool, you will receive 10 points for a correct
semi-final selection, and 12 points for having the Finals correctly.
Our
pool has 3 remaining champions, as all but Syracuse have been selected by
various entrants. For the many of you
that had Virginia, you join the rest of us. The remaining champions in the pool
are: Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Villanova and
Virginia.
Since
I will be at the Final Four, I will not be updating the pool after Saturday’s
games, or immediately after Monday’s final.
Instead, I will be live blogging with my cohorts from Houston, so look
for those entries.
It
appears to me that the winners will be (I did not calculate the tiebreakers
yet):
If
Villanova beats North Carolina – Glen Merchant; Greg Kummerlen; Jonathan
Wasserman 2
If
Villanova beats Syracuse – Glen Merchant; Greg Kummerlen; Kevin McAlister
If
Oklahoma beats North Carolina – Karen Katz; Greg Kummerlen/Glen Merchant (Tie)
If
Oklahoma beats Syracuse – Karen Katz; Greg Kummerlen/Glen Merchant (Tie)
If
North Carolina beats Villanova – Glen Merchant, Measha Williams 2; Colleen
Hamilton 1
If
North Carolina beats Oklahoma – Joshua and Katie Zdrowak; Measha Williams 2;
Collen Hamilton 1
If
Syracuse beats Villanova – Glen Merchant; Greg Kummerlen; Kevin McAlister
If
Syracuse beats Oklahoma – Greg Kummerlen/Glen Merchant (Tie); Anthony LaPira
I
will do the final standings of the entire pool sometime next week.
Please
remember to pay, if you have not.
Payment instructions are on the rule sheet, or you can make other
arrangements with me as necessary.
Good
luck to everyone, and happy game watching.

caps is champion, only capitalized is runner-up).
