The Baylor Bears won the NIT Season Tip Off 75-69, giving 77% of our pool a win, resulting in not much movement at the top of the standings. However, this did cause the official elimination of Tina & Zack. In our late night championship game, BYU came back in the second half to beat NC State 96-86 in the Vegas Showdown, giving critical wins to myself and Sohler. 🏀 🎰
The current standings can be found here, with a battle taking place between myself, Sohler and Tim. Sohler is now in the driver seat as he has sole possession of 1st place, most max points available, and distanced himself from Tim. It's his to lose at this point. The only other battle going on is Heffron has enough unique picks left, plus the tie breaker, to be able to come in 3rd. Other than that, everyone else has officially been eliminated. 😿
For those eliminated, you still have a chance to win money later in December with the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic bonus pots. Evan and The Beag can win $150 without splitting if their respective teams win, Sam I Am and Jack would split $150 with a Georgia win, and Tina, B.I. and Jenn would split $150 with a Nevada win. A TCU win dilutes the payout. Additionally, 15 of the 17 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic championship game score picks are unique, which means we could have a single winner for that $50 bonus pot. 💰
With so many people now out, I'll post less blogs and focus more on updating the standings. Look for 1-2 wrap up blogs over the next few days and then we'll fire it back up in December for the last 2 tournaments.
