Group 8
Week 10
Ohio St.- 74, Air Force- 64
Princeton- 65. Furman- 37
St. Francis (NY)- 73, Mississippi St.- 69
Group 8 Final Standings:
#1 Ohio St. 10-0 (+171)
#2 Air Force 5-5 (+17)
#3 St. Francis (NY) 5-5 (-8)
#4 Princeton 4-6 (+13)
#5 Mississippi St. 4-6 (-77)
#6 Furman 2-8 (-116)
No big surprise, Ohio St. runs through this group, and trail only Kansas as far as point differential goes among the current teams that finished undefeated in group play. Granted there are a lot of groups left, but I'd have to say the Buckeyes have all but clinched a top 5 seed in the round of 128. Air Force gets the #2 spot over St. Francis (NY) due to point differential, as they split their 2 meetings in group play. However, Air Force has the worst record among the second place teams and will most likely be the lowest of the seeds coming out of the second place finishers. St. Francis (NY) will hang around for a while in a potential wildcard chance, but that negative point differential won't see them stay much past the next few groups. Princeton had a higher point differential than Mississippi St., and Furman played spoiler to Air Force by sweeping them and really hurting Air Force's seed in the round of 128. So 8 groups down, 50 to go, what do you all think so far?
