Second Round Games In Progress

 Honestly, the first six hours with the new pool host had me feeling quite anxious. I quickly realized that 12-15 brackets were missing from my initial expectation, and to compound the issue, the pool brackets went offline for what felt like an eternity. I will guess, it seems someone finally rebooted their servers, and we're now back online and operational with everyone's brackets accounted for!

For those of you who are new, welcome! For those who have been with us before, thank you for coming over to the new pool host. I’ve received messages from some of you regarding missing the old pool software, you are not alone. The standings should update shortly after each game completes. The link for the standings is at the top of this email.

Last year we had 111 pick sheets for this contest, and this year we exceeded that number with 120 entries. I have collected the majority of the entry fees, we will have $1200 in prize money to pay the winners. There is approximately $240 left to be collected, so if you still owe, please make sure to get your payments in if you haven’t does so already.

We already have some busted brackets with Arizona getting their asses handed to them last night by Princeton. Really depends how far you had them going if it hurts or helps you. Virginia lost on an errant inbound pass that allowed Furman to win on a desperation three pointer.

As usual, I’ll send out an email summary after all of the weekend games have completed. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the best weekend of the tournament. I cannot wait to see who comes out on top!
