William England has moved ahead of yesterday’s leaders to get to 620 points and take over the lead in the pool.\u00a0 It is still crazy close as Andrew Braslow is only 20 points behind, Stephen Harrell and Tanmay Gautam are only 30 points behind, and Heath Lindvall is only 40 points behind.\u00a0 Ben Lawton, Chris Lacks and Kevin Flippen are tied for 6th only 50 points behind.\u00a0 \u00a0And then there is the crazy fact that we have 13 people tied for 9th place – only 60 points behind.<\/p>\n
Christy Lindvall is still leading the Upset Pool – now with 260 points, giving her a 13 point lead over Triona Weeks.\u00a0 Alex Simon is 28 points behind in 3rd, Edward Zhang is 42 points behind in 4th and Andrew Braslow is 55 points behind in 5th.<\/p>\n
Will Caldwell and Mark Schumaker are currently doing the best job with their second chance – as they have correctly picked 7 of 8 Sweet 16 games.\u00a0 They are closely followed by 17 people.<\/p>\n
Its kind of crazy – I have never seen such large groups of ties at this point in the contest.\u00a0 But there is still plenty of time for some separation to happen.\u00a0 \u00a0Good luck to everyone in the Elite 8!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
