Though, still rather close, top-to-bottom, Ina is starting to pull away a little bit from the pack.\u00a0 A rough day for Alexi sends him back to 3rd, only 10 points ahead of a hard-charging J.<\/p>\n

\nIn what would have been the most shocking champion of the CTC this year, Montana St. came up just short against Portland St. last night in Ogden, UT.\u00a0 The only one who picked Portland St. to win this tournament, J, will take home the 2009 CTC Big Sky championship by himself by a wide margin.\u00a0 This is J’s second 2009 CTC crown.\u00a0 Stri and Waters both failed to score in the entire Big Sky tournament.\u00a0 This is Stri’s second goose-egg this year.<\/p>\n\n

\nAnother great night at MSG.\u00a0 I am sick and tired of people putting down this format.\u00a0 Why shouldn’t Georgetown have to play an extra game after finishing TWELFTH in the conference?\u00a0 How is that unfair?\u00a0 Maybe they should have won a few more games, huh?\u00a0 And, it’s not like DePaul is going to win this thing, so what’s the big deal?\u00a0 How is more basketball a BAD thing?\u00a0 I hate Jay Bilas so much these days.\u00a0 Ina, Doogan, and Stri nailed all four of these picks.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe bottom four teams in the Pac-10 squared off at the Staples Center last night, getting this tournament underway.\u00a0 Bry, Ina, J, Alexi, and Waters all went 2-for-2 last night in this round.<\/p>\n\n
\nAn exciting day in Oklahoma City produced a couple upsets, including one big one.\u00a0 No one hit all four, but everyone got at least two.\u00a0 And, a star was born.<\/p>\n\n
\nA good quadruple-header in Atlantic City on Wednesday sets up the A-10 quarterfinals.\u00a0 Alexi was the only one to hit all four opening round games yesterday.\u00a0 Lynch, Doogan, J, and Bry all missed three of the four.\u00a0 But, in all the destruction, no one lost even a semifinalist, so this conference is still wide open.<\/p>\n\n
\nAnd, the pawns are in place for Memphis to run through this tournament again.<\/p>\n\n
\nHalf of the SWAC quarters were on Wednesday night.\u00a0 Everyone got both of these games.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe Big West started last night with a couple of opening round games.\u00a0 A pair of upsets, both called by Bry, J, Doogan, and Stri.\u00a0 No one lost more than one round.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe MEAC’s strange scheduling continued last night with three games in two different rounds.\u00a0 Bry, Ina, and Doogan hit all three.\u00a0 Ina still has a perfect bracket going here in the MEAC.<\/p>\n\n
