We Have Real Standings Now & Money Update

Only 6 days into the conference tournaments and it has already provided some craziness, no 1, 2, or 3 seeds have won a conference tournament yet.

This is the first Blog that I have e-mailed since 3/1, I wanted to ensure that for those that don't read the Blog can at least see the standings.  If you're not following the Blog for updates, you should save the link below in your favorites!


Here are the current standings through all of today's games, along with some of the highlights.  I have also attached the excel document of the standing.

So far, we can say that Rabitoy's "3-seed strategy" is not working as expected, should have used the "4-seed strategy" this year.

All games from here on out will be conference championship games, so for most teams this is the last game they will play.  All seeds in our pool have been updated and are officially finalized.

Money Update:  If you have not yet paid, or made future arrangements to pay, please get your money to me.  This pool ends in 1 week and I want to make sure I can pay out the winners quickly.

Today we had 3 more teams advance to the NCAA Tournament:  Northern Iowa (Missouri Valley), UNC-Asheville (Big South), and Florida Gulf Coast (Atlantic Sun).




Tomorrow's Championship Games (3/7)

Very chalky tomorrow, huge change of pace from what we have seen over the past few days.

Colonial - 6:00 pm CST
  • (2) UNC-Wilmington vs. (1) Hofstra
  • 4 people selected UNC-Wilmington and 6 people selected Hofstra
  • No bonus points are at stake, but this game will help shake up the standings a little more

MAAC - 6:00 pm CST
  • (2) Iona vs. (1) Monmouth
  • Most of us have Monmouth, but a few people did pick Iona, an Iona win can really cause some chaos in the standings
  • No bonus points are at stake

Southern - 8:00 pm CST
  • (2) Eastern Tennessee State vs. (1) Chattanooga
  • Most of us have Chattanooga, but a few people did pick ETSU, a ETSU win can really cause some more chaos in the standings
  • No bonus points are at stake

Below is a pretty cool graphic of all the teams that have punched tickets, compared against the conferences that are still in play.
