Busy, busy day at my real job, so I will be updating this in segments today. I will erase the "IN PROGRESS/STANDY" once complete.
The leader stays the same, but there was a lot of movement at the top, and bottom of the standings. Rich Samuels 1 is still in first, with Mitch K (Lamb) in second. We know how a two-way tie for the third with John Hopps and Allison Parker. And, at the bottom of the standings, Lily Spuhler is no longer in sole possession of last place, as she - through Gonzaga - managed to tie for 137th with Lizzy W (Lamb), and Lily has her champion still alive. Your Tournament Host's bracket is a mess.
And speaking of mess, there is no bigger mess than Jeremy Spuhler and A.J. Ripin. Neither of them put their name on their bracket, which I did when I printed them. However, I noticed today when scoring, that I printed the same bracket for both of them. I noticed because somebody had "UU" winning the UCLA - Gonzaga game. The worst part is - neither one of them has contacted me to discuss their scoring. I will scour my e-mails and find which one was not printed, and place it in the correct position once I find it - sometime this weekend.
Three more champions are down as Michigan State lost to Kansas State, Tennessee lost to Florida Atlantic, and Gonzaga defeated UCLA. Our champions are: Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Duke, Florida Atlantic, Gonzaga, Houston, Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, Marquette, Miami, Michigan State, Purdue, Tennessee, Texas, UCLA. Miami plays Houston today, so we are guaranteed to lose at least one more champion.
Gonzaga was a popular pick, and a few people selected Kansas State and Connecticut, but the real movers in the pool were those that selected 3 winners. Those were Allison Parker, Drew Foster, Steven Usma 3, Martha Kroesen and Arelene Amo Hopps. Arlene was the only one of this group that selected Florida Atlantic, and so for that pick, and earning 12 points, she wins the Pikc of the Day. Honorable Mention for also picking FAU is Duncan Merchant. Neither Arlene or Duncan were eligible for bonus points, however, as they did not have FAU defeating Tennessee.
Due to time constraints, I will not be doing a history today, but I will do today's tomorrow, and tomorrow's tomorrow.
Stats of the Day
2. Drew Timme of Gonzaga scored 20 points in an NCAA Tournament game for the 10th time, breaking the record he shared with Bill Bradley, Elvin Hayes, Danny Manning, Glen Rice, Corliss Williamson, and Richard Hamilton.
1. Marquis Nowell of Kansas State set an NCAA record with 19 assists in a tournament game, breaking the record held by Mark Wade of UNLV.
Players of the Day
Honestly, three players stood out way, WAY, above the crowd, but I'll do top 4.
4. Jordan Hawkins, Connecticut - 24 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a blowout of Arkansas.
3. Jaime Jacquez, Jr., UCLA - 29 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block in a devastating loss to Gonzaga, again. (See, Suggs, Jalen)
2. Drew Timme, Gonzaga - 36 points , 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks
1. Markquis Norwell, Kansas State - 20 points, 3 rebounds, 19 assists, 5 steals. AND THIS RIDICULOUS ALLEY-OOP
