Through the round of 64:

[Karlifornia]

Jesus...can't have a much better start than that, britrock

[britrock88]

Uh, yeah, no complaints here. :)

[B & B]

Seems like we are all going to compete for 2nd place !

[Karlifornia]

Seems like we are all going to compete for 2nd place !

Possibly, but there's a long way to go. You're in pretty good shape.

[britrock88]

Yeah, I lost Hilliard (Nova) and Russell (tOSU) today.

[B & B]

In fairness, getting 2 games out of your 10+ is just gravy. But that kid was a solid pick.

Pretty big game between Lville and N Ia today with 4 teams involved.

[britrock88]

I think the whole idea is to try to find a 10+ guy who not only scores, but has a solid chance of playing an extra game. Russell was a prime example of that.

Here are scores after Saturday (still inputting Sunday):

My team's cut in half by the Round of 32, and the race is back on!

Through Thursday's Sweet 16 games:

Game A Points Players Left
britrock88 213 3
sooner333 193 4
bhlloy 188 3
kingfc22 165 2
Lathum 162 3
Karlifornia 161 3
BillyNYC 148 4
B & B 143 3
wade moore 121 2
Young Drachma 113 1

Sooner has 3 guys playing today (Quinn Cook, Isaiah Cousins, Terry Rozier) to my 1 (Buddy Hield), so we may see a lead change tonight.

[britrock88]

After the Sweet 16:

Game A Points Players Left
britrock88 234 2
sooner333 226 3
Karlifornia 200 3
bhlloy 198 3
Lathum 186 3
kingfc22 181 2
BillyNYC 179 3
B & B 157 3
wade moore 139 2
Young Drachma 113 1

I'm guaranteed to lose someone today, so Sooner becomes the presumptive favorite on the backs of Duke (blecch) and the ACC overachievers in ND and Lulville.

Through the Elite 8:

Game A Points Players Left
sooner333 264 1
britrock88 259 1
Lathum 238 2
bhlloy 235 2
Karlifornia 232 1
kingfc22 218 1
B & B 209 1
BillyNYC 202 1
wade moore 153 1
Young Drachma 119 1


This one's, uh, pretty tight.

[britrock88]

Here's the rundown of who's still playing among the top 4:

sooner: Quinn Cook (58)
britrock: Nigel Hayes (49)
Lathum: Frank Kaminsky (91), Andrew Harrison (39)
bhlloy: Aaron Harrison (34), Sam Dekker (87)

Wisconsin's big two could make things very close as of Saturday.

Karlifornia- Winslow
kingfc22- Okafor
BillyNYC- Jones

[britrock88]

Safe to say I'm pulling for myself, Lathum, and bhlloy...

Cook's averaging 15 a game, Kaminsky 22, Hayes 12, Decker 21. So we're looking at a high potential for a razor-thin margin between sooner and Lathum.

I get the smallest of consolations that Kaminsky's 21-point night gives Lathum the edge over Sooner's 6-point showing from Cook.

[britrock88]

All-Tourney Team:
Frank Kaminsky, 132 points (1.2)
Sam Dekker, 115 points (2.8)
Jahlil Okafor, 90 points (1.1)
Justise Winslow, 86 points (3.4)
Quinn Cook, 81 points (1.5)

Nice work, Lathum
