2000 PRE-NCAA CONTEST UPDATE - ROUND 3
Standings
For the first time ever, three Wild Card-eligible teams made the Final 8. What’s more, thirty of us picked one of those teams as their Wild Card (24 Purdue; 6 North Carolina (Byrnes, DREG, Gordon, P Joseph, E Leach, S&R); and 0 Wisconsin).
Full Final 8 and Final 4 breakdowns will be in the next Newsletter (which will be out on Tuesday or Wednesday), but we must take a moment to point out the extent of our group futility. Not counting Wild Cards, only six (6) entrants have as many as two of their Final Four selections alive (all with two left: B D’Zuro; Reider; FREG; Corrin; Gorman; and Fitch). Of those, D’Zuro has two in the same region (Michigan State and Iowa State), which doesn’t do him very much good, but at least he’s guaranteed of one of his choices actually making the Final Four. This means that the best that 121 of us can hope for is to get one (1) of the Final Four (4) correct. Of course, 48 of us have no hope, with zero (0) Final Four teams left.
Only 17 people still have their champion alive. Sixteen chose Michigan State (Geo B, Corrin, Cowboy, J Donadio, Jr., Fitch, Golino, Huffnagle, B Joseph, Kasprzak, G Kedson, JV Kedson, P Leach, Mahalko, McGarrigel, McMoose, and Shaw), and one chose Oklahoma State (Bud Acchione).
