HOUSTON WAS SO CLOSE!!!
So after the Sweet 16, we have a couple more unlucky posters being shown the door in this pool.
@-THE DUDE- had the ultimate "life comes at you fast" turn of fortune and is eliminated, as is
@Gatordiddy with UNC's smashing defeat at the hands of Auburn. As far as others who are mathematically eliminated from winning,
@GatorJ can finish strong, but can't make up enough ground to win, and the same goes for
@gardnerwebbgator.
@Swamp Queen is still my favorite poster, but her funeral procession has started with the faint sound of Taps playing off in the distance.
@T REX is down to only Duke in his Final Four, meaning he's officially toast.
@LeeForThree's brother (Zion Madness 4) is in a tie for 5th, but can't make up enough points to jump the leaders.
The top of the leaderboard is still very crowded, with
@BNAG8R,
@backstop13, and myself tied for first place.
@Phineus Maximus and
@RiverRat are a little bit down the board, but both very much still alive with their entire Final Fours intact.
@ProcrastiGATOR is guaranteed victory if UVA wins the championship and he gets any of his other Final Four picks correct, and
@no1g8r needs a perfect finish to win. The guy at the bottom of the standings is an old friend of mine, and since he has a pretty unique Final Four and UVA winning it all, I think he can still miraculously win it if he gets it all right the rest of the way.
And that's about it. To those of you still left standing, good luck!
To those of you eliminated............
