Link to the Standings
I will post another standings update in the morning as we're going to have a few more games wrapping up really late tonight.
14 Tickets Punched Today
The conference championship games started really early today with (3) Albany taking on (1) Vermont. Albany looked like they were going to run away with the game, but Vermont made a late run and won, even with the awkwardly bad reffed ending.
Another early afternoon championship game was more chalk, it was (2) Norfolk State vs. (1) NC Central with NC Central winning easily once the 2nd half got started.
(2) Villanova easily hammered (6) Creighton in the Big East conference championship game, 70% of the pool picked Villanova. This win ended up being important as a few mid pack guys had Butler.
Nevada won the Mountain West conference championship and Texas Southern won the SWAC conference championship. Middle Tennessee State won the Conference USA conference championship. Nothing too exciting with these wins and didn't have a huge impact on the standings, so I am not even going to include a picture of these teams.
I am going to call this a complete shocker, and no one can debate me because 27 of us did not select them. (4) Iowa State beat (2) West Virginia in the Big 12 championship. So, nobody got any points in the pool.
In the MAC championship game, with (6) seed Kent State winning over (1) seed Akron, this gives us our lowest winning seed to date, too bad none of us picked Kent State!
Over in the Big Sky, a game that really could have turned the standings upside down, (1) seed North Dakota took (3) seed Weber State to overtime and won the game. A Weber State win would have given bonus points to many people in the middle of the pack. This is North Dakota's 1st time in the Big Dance.
The ACC championship game saw (5) Duke beat (3) Notre Dame to change the top of our standings and gave many people a low seed winner for some bonus money. Overall, the game was great/fun to watch!
