This blog entry was supposed to be announcing who in our pool won the Bad Bow Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis $150 bonus pot, however we all got this one very wrong. In an upset, Oklahoma/Louisville ended up winning that tournament, leading to a loss for the entire pool. The $150 bonus pot now rolls into the overall payout for the final pool standings. This is what makes college basketball so exciting, it really is very hard to predict most of the time. 🏀
With 24 of the 29 early season college basketball tournaments now complete, we have a clear picture on who can win the pool, and who is eliminated. For anyone that has been eliminated from the top 3, we still have the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Christmas bonus on 12/25, where you can win up to $200. I won't get into the breakdown of that tournament just yet, but we do have 6 of the 8 teams picked for our pool, which makes me hopeful that someone will receive a big payout. 💰
Looking at the updated standings we see that Sohler is in the driver's seat to win this pool, but Jenn and Tim have enough unique picks, plus the tiebreaker, that they are all in contention for first. However, if Jenn and/or Tim slip up, we have 5 people competing to take that 3rd place spot. Accuracy is down this season, last year's pool we had 3 people over 50% accuracy, this year we have nobody near 50% accuracy.
We still have 2 tournaments that are wrapping up on Saturday before we get a break for a week. The first tournament championship to be played on Saturday will be the Arizona Tip-Off (Desert Division) with Weber State vs. Pepperdine. The Final Championship of the day will be played in the evening where Alabama will face Oregon in the Players Era Thanksgiving Festival. 🦃
