Favorites Winthrop (chosen by 42 entrants), Belmont (56), and Austin Peay (58) won their conferences, meaning the three clever ones who pinned their hopes on Jacksonville (Dallas, L Donadio, M Leach) weren't so lucky (or so clever, to be brutally honest) after all.
More of the same in today's semifinals in the Horizon (the finals will feature Butler (63) vs. Cleveland State (M Leach only)) and the MVC (Drake (57) vs. Illinois State (Millan, Settle)). Overthinking losers in the MVC included M Josephs, P Leach, Sakowski, R Schlegel, and Salarnick, all of whom selected Southern Illinois, Acchione, who took Creighton, and Kasprzak, who went with Bradley.
Updated standings have been posted. More than half of us (35, to be precise) picked all four winners so far and have 20 points. On the other side of the spectrum, the Leach Sisters, Samantha and Madison (well, they might be cousins instead of sisters, I'm not really sure; but based on their selections I can say with confidence they come from the same gene pool), have only 15 points combined, after one or the other of them chose Tennessee-Martin, Murray State, Jacksonville, Cleveland State, UNC-Ashville, and Gardner-Webb -- and that's just counting the four conferences that have had semifinals so far, plus the Ivy League, who everybody got right. Suffice it to say this isn't the last we've heard of the Little Leaches.
Tomorrow's semifinals include the Southern, Colonial, WCC, MAAC, NEC, Patriot, and America East. The only final tomorrow is the MVC. Enjoy your weekend.
