All 1-seeds won their conference tournament championships this afternoon starting first with (1) High Point in the Big South, then (1) Lipscomb in the Atlantic Sun and finally (1) Drake in the Missouri Valley. We now have a total of 4 tickets punched to the NCAA Tournament. Lipscomb and Drake were in control of their games, but for a while it looked like (3) Winthrop was going to take the Big South championship. Tonight, we still have a championship game in the Summit League with (1) Omaha vs. (2) St. Thomas, which will be played at 8:00 PM CST. 🏀
In addition to championship games today, we had several other quarterfinal and semifinal games being played in numerous other conferences. Some popular bonus picks and several big favorites lost today. I have updated the standings to reflect this afternoons action. Andrew is the only one in our pool that is perfect thus far, going 4 for 4 over the last 24 hours. 10 people are on his heels with 3 points, and every single person in our pool has a win. This may be the earliest that we've ever seen everyone on the board this early in the pool, but I guess that happens when it's all chalk winning. 🎉
Today is the last day that any regular season games will be played, so my hope for the next update tonight is to have all conference seeding finalized on the sheet. Good luck over the next week, it's great to see everyone is in the running and nobody has been left in the dust yet. If anyone noticed any inaccuracies in your picks/seeding, has any issues accessing the blog and standings, or has any questions please let me know!
