Mooseye Dominates Saturday Tourneys

Mooseye was the clear winner on Saturday, going 4-0 and winning the MEAC for +7, Kansas won the Big 12 for +10, and UCONN took 5 games to win the Big East for +10. This resulted in a 41 point DAY for Mooseye, catapulting him into a 22 point first place lead. On top of that, Florida made it to the SEC final today that could further pad his position.


Jutdog dropped 3 games, with only North Carolina advancing to an opportunity for a major conference tournament championship. He fell from first place to third place, as Boaris grabbed the Ivy League automatic bid and Utah State took the WAC for a total of 15 points.

Babblemur dropped to fourth place despite 13 points for San Diego State's affirming and dominating victory over BYU and Jutdog. Gunz held onto the fifth place spot despite Clemson and Harvard losses, but he has Duke facing off for the ACC title today.

Mad Mader got knocked out of the ACC race, but Penn State has risen to the Big Ten final today against Ohio State. Mader holds onto 6th place, 48 points out of first, down but not out.

McGrumps did his best to stay in contention by winning Conference USA and advancing Richmond and Kentucky into Sunday's tournament finales. The 17 points pushed him ahead of Jaybird, who followed a 4-0 Friday with an 0-4 Saturday. The CEO also had a goose egg on Saturday, while Akaoni in 10th place got Dayton into the Sunday A-10 final.

Some Guy in Illinois won the Pac-10 with Washington to pull within a point of 11th place Slake B, who is feeding off Ohio State and looking good for taking the Big 10 today. Musashisan lost 3 games to secure last place.

Four More Tournaments

The last four tournaments are today, giving seven players one last crack and a point boost before the NCAA Tournament kicks off.

SEC
Florida (Mooseye) vs. Kentucky (McGrumps)
Mooseye could really pad his lead going into the Big Dance with a win of the SEC, but McGrumps needs those points badly to remain competitive. At 55 points down, a win by Kentucky would narrow that deficit to 42 and threaten for 5th place.

Atlantic 10
Richmond (McGrumps) vs. Dayton (Akaoni)
McGrumps is the only player with two teams alive today, and a win over slumping Akaoni would add another 11 points to the day, which combined with a Kentucky win would put McG just 31 points down. For Akaoni the 11 points at best will keep him at pace with Slake B.

ACC
North Carolina (Jut) vs. Duke (Gunz)
Jutdog fell 25 points out of first yesterday, Gunz sits 43 points out. This clash of Top 10 teams guarantees the winner a 15 point return, critical for entering the Tournament competitively.

Big 10
Ohio St (Slake) vs. Penn St (Mad Mader)
Mad Mader has the odds stacked against him this game, but Penn State may have proven they are Tourney-worthy after their Big 10 run.

Selection Sunday

Tournament selection begins tonight - every team that receives a bid to the NCAA Tournament will get +3 points.

That both St Mary's and BC got excluded. The Kentucky and Richmond wins were expected.
