With 4 conference championships in the books on this MAR10 day, our pool standings are starting to take shape. In the Big South (5) Longwood throttled (2) UNC Asheville, giving Matthew our lone pool win, and a bonus point. While over in the Missouri Valley, (2) Drake beat (1) Indiana State, and at the same time, (2) Stetson took care of (4) Austin Peay in the Atlantic Sun. Both late afternoon championships were filled with exciting comebacks and close games towards the end. I just hope we don't get deprived of Indiana States Robbie Avila, also known as Cream Abdul Jabbar, Larry Nerd, Larry Blurred, Steph Blurry, and Milk Chamberlain, for March Madness.
Other notable pool teams to lose today include 4-seed UNC Wilmington (Coastal Athletic), 5-seed Furman (Southern), 2-seed Boston (Patriot League), 5-seed North Dakota State (Summit League), 1-seed Appalachian State (Sun Belt), 3-seed Chattanooga (Sun Belt), and 1-seed Eastern Washington (Big Sky).
The current standings can be found here, Matthew is hanging on to a 2-point cushion with his multiple bonus point wins. However, he has 8 people not that far back, waiting for him to cool off. All conference seeding is now finalized, we shouldn't see any more surprises with bonus points appearing/disappearing.
On Monday, everyone, mostly everyone, will have two more opportunities for points with the Southern and Sun Belt conference championships. This will be the last email for a few days, or maybe all week, everything will be updated via the blog and standings links.
