Mid-Day CTC Update: Part Two

Okay, Ohio held on in OT, after blowing the lead in regulation, so no one gets any points from the MAC final.  Kansas is about to beat K-State, so we’ll count those points here (points which really hurt Doogan’s efforts here).  And, in a HUGE game, Washington beat Cal, which gives Teddy maybe an insurmountable lead.  Here are the up-to-the-minute scores (assuming Kansas holds on):

  1. Teddy leads
  2. Stri is 109 back
  3. Ina 179
  4. Doogan 204
  5. Bry 234

I haven’t looked deep, but I think we can eliminate J and Alexi because they are pretty far back now.  Bry would be eliminated if he didn’t have a 100-point free shot over the field with W. Virginia.  So, Five people remain with a shot at this.  Here are the rest of the games, and how they might affect the 2010 championship.

  • UNLV leads San Diego St. by 2 with 10 minutes left.  If UNLV wins, Doogan and Teddy will pick up 80 points on everyone else.  Honestly, a UNLV win here would be devastating to the chasers not named Doogan.
  • The Big East title tips off at 9:00.  If West Virginia wins, Bry will pick up 100 points on everyone else.  This is pretty much my only chance to even have a shot at this.  If G’town wins, stick a fork in me.

And then, there are four games from the “every little bit counts” division:

  • First, is the Big West final.  A UCSB win here would mean 16 points for Ina, Doogan, and Stri.
  • In the SWAC later, Ina and Teddy would pick up 18 points with a AR-Pine Bluff win.
  • The WAC has no impact because everyone has Utah St.

Then, for the final games tomorrow:

  • Everyone has Duke, so that’s a wash
  • A Kentucky win might end it all for Doogan, as everyone would pick up 80 points on him.
  • The A-10 is the HUGE swing game tomorrow.  A Temple win gives Bry and Doogan 80.  A Richmond win gives Stri and Teddy 100.
  • And, the last game of the CTC is the Big Ten final.  Bry and Ina have Ohio St., so if they can get within 80 by the time this game starts (not likely), then they can take the overall title with a Buckeye win.

More here later, as games continue to finish up…
