We have 3 championship games today, all with potential to impact the top of the standings. Below is a preview of the Cayman Islands Classic and Sunshine Slam (Beach & Ocean Bracket) championship games. Additionally, we have 7 tournaments either tipping off today, or in the semi-finals, that will cause movement in the standings as teams lose.
Cayman Islands Classic
At 6:30p CST we get to watch Stephen F. Austin take on Utah State in the championship game. Pool favorite Drake was eliminated, but we still have half our pool on the remaining teams. A Utah State win would be huge for Tim, as he is the only person in the top 7 on Utah State, and he would jump into a tie for 1st place with Sohler if they win and Stetson loses in a different tournament. On the other side, if Stephen F. Austin wins this game, we will see that standings tighten up as 5 people between 8th and 17th place are on the Lumberjacks. I expect this game to be close as Stephen F. Austin is only a 1 point favorite. This has the potential to be a pool defining game. 🌴
Sunshine Slam Ocean Bracket
Our first championship game of the day comes from Daytona Beach, where 4 point favorite Stetson plays Central Michigan. Our picks are all over the place in this one, but Stetson is our pool favorite with 35% of the picks. A Stetson win gives Sohler some separation from the pack, however the standings will tighten up behind him. A Central Michigan win will be huge for Whit and Novak as they are the only 2 people on the MAC team. 🌊
Sunshine Slam Beach Bracket
Over in the Beach Bracket of this tournament it's a bit less exciting with pool favorite Colorado playing the second pool favorite, Florida State. The current top 3 players all have Colorado, which means everyone else is rooting for Florida State to win so those standings get tighter. Colorado is favored by almost 5 points, but these are both major programs where anyone can win the game. 🌅
The current standings can be found here, with the same top 5 as yesterday still contending for the title. If anyone is having issues with the link or sheets, please let me know. 📉
