Lots of craziness on the first full day.  Standings have been updated but some entries have more teams tomorrow than other do so there will be more shake-ups.

@SandhillshuskerW out in front with 805

@JJ Husker and @runningblind with some ground to make up but have an extra team left.

Something be screwy with the number of teams left. Some of the losers have not been eliminated from later rounds. I’ve only got 6 teams left, @runningblind only has 4, @SandhillshuskerW has 5 etc.

Not sure what up.

Ah, yeah.  Thanks.  I think I have it fixed now.

[Mavric]

@JJ Husker leads with @SandhillshuskerW right behind. 

 

They also have the most teams left of the current top seven entries so their in good shape.

[Mavric]

@JJ Husker out to a nice lead and will be tough to catch.  No one has more than three teams left.

@SandhillshuskerW is in second and also has three teams.  But they both have Gonzaga and Houston.  So Michigan will have to outscore Villanova by 86 points the rest of the way for @SandhillshuskerW to catch JJ.

 

Those aren't the only two in it but they're definitely in the driver's seat.

My point average is solid......my teams just bowed out early. Which only confirms I may be the worst gambler on planet Earth!

[SandhillshuskerW]

I just need Michigan to beat Villanova in the Sweet 16 and then score a bunch of points against Arizona or Houston in the Elite 8. I've got a chance!

The "madness" of the tournament makes it fun and exciting, and very difficult to predict.  You did great

[Mavric]

It's @JJ Husker's contest to lose at this point.  He's got a 96 point lead on @SandhillshuskerW and has two teams left but they both have Houston which is  @SandhillshuskerW only team so that lead is safe.

 

 @skers83 is 159 points behind so the only way he can catch @JJ Husker is for both Villanova and Houston to lose their next game and Duke to make the championship game.

 

Standings

[Mavric]

@JJ Husker maintains a strong lead and still has Villanova.

@skers83 moves into second place with Duke and Villanova left.  

 

But unless Duke can outscore Villanova by 125 points in the Final Four, @JJ Husker is your champion this year.

You’ve got a very good chance. We both have Nova so it doesn’t matter what they do. Duke doesn’t have to outscore Villanova, they just have to score 125 points in the final four.  Very good shot at that if they beat UNC and end up playing in the title game.
