We did have some notable upsets and pool impacting losses throughout today since we had so many teams in play.
- In the Horizon League (2) Oakland went down to (9) Youngstown State by 1 point, 44% of our pool picked Oakland to win
- Also in the Horizon League (1) Valparaiso LOST to (10) UW-Milwaukee, opening up bonus points to whichever team wins the conference tournament
- In the Southern Conference (4) Chattanooga was defeated by (5) Wofford, this is notable because Chattanooga was the popular low seed pick by 30% of the pool
- Sticking in the Southern Conference (2) Furman lost to (7) Samford, this leaves the 1 seed in that conference an easy path to the championship
- In the Northeast Conference another popular low seed (3) Wagner lost to (4) St. Francis PA, knocking out 6 of our picks
- In the Summit League we saw (2) North Dakota State get destroyed by (7) IUPUI
Losses are racking up quickly, this is normal, so for those of you that are new to this pool don't get discouraged like the UT-Martin Players. Until your Max Points fall below 20, everyone from the 1st place spot to the 27th place spot are still in this.
- Atlantic Sun (3) North Florida vs. (1) Florida Gulf Coast
- Young stands alone with North Florida, while 23 others picked Florida Gulf Coast
- Big South (7) Campbell vs. (1) Winthrop
- 7 picks were for Winthrop, which is low for a (1) seed, so this can be a big win for 7 people
- While with (7) seed Campbell, no one picked them, so most of the pool will be Camel fans for this game
- Missouri Valley is showcasing the tops seed with (2) Wichita State vs. (1) Illinois State
- 2 people had Northern Iowa, sorry B.I. and Grimmer, but other than that 15 people picked Wichita and 10 picked Illinois State so most of us are up for a point with this game
