\nThe Horizon’s hottest team took out the Horizon’s worst team in a game that wasn’t quite as close as the final score may indicate.\u00a0 This win was big for Dave, Gross, and Lohse because it kept alive their champion.\u00a0 No one had Loyola winning this game, so we all got 6 points.<\/p>\n
\nThis game was 29-8 at one point, so it was never in question.\u00a0 And, again, no one picked this upset, so we all got 6 points.\u00a0 Lil Lohse is the happiest with this result, as he has Milwaukee winning the title.<\/p>\n
\nA one-point game at halftime got real ugly, real fast in the second half, as the three-time defending Horizon champs live to fight another day.\u00a0 Doogan, Gersh, J, and Teddy all missed on what would have been a nice upset pick.\u00a0 Doogan took the biggest hit here, as he Wright St. making the semis.<\/p>\n
\nIn the biggest swing game of the CTC thus far (11 people had Green Bay, 7 had YSU), the Penguins of Youngstown St. prevail and move on to the quarters on Friday night to face Detroit.\u00a0 The big losses here are J, Lil Lohse, and Lynch, who had Green Bay in the semis (Lil Lohse actually had them in the finals).\u00a0 Teddy is the happiest with this result, as he has the Penguins winning again on Friday.<\/p>\n
