    Quick Update: With only three games to go there are six people tied for first with seven correct answers. @AndrewSmith @Hoptimus-Prime @mps @Shandycan @bjohnson and @peachsheep are all tied for first place.

    We are just waiting on if any team scores 100+ points (doubtful), graduating class of the MOP, conference to win the tourney and if a game goes into 2OT.

    Good luck to all those involved.

    Glad to get some of these correct! My bracket fell apart with utter despair.

    That's what this is all about! Perhaps winning some beer despite your bracket being busted!

    C'mon MOP and a Double OT game- obviously no way I get the Conference question!!!

    With so many people tied and at the heels of the front runners.. I wouldn't be surprised if this came down to the tie breaker.

    Wonder what the score total is at the moment going into the final four.. someone with a little extra time should take the liberty of adding it up for us.:wink:

    Just figured I'd update this around halftime of the National Championship game.

    Still doubtful that 100 points will be reached in this game, so that would make that answer a NO.
    The graduating class of the MOP is still open, but if Kentucky wins then it is most likely a freshman. If UCONN wins then it could be a senior.
    The winning conference will either be the SEC or the AAC which would make that answer "other"
    Lastly, this game is as capable as any to go into double OT.

    You are correct with all of your updates Rich, the final ones came down to No on the 100+, No on the 2OT, Other for conference winning it all and Senior for winning MVP.

    There was a five way tie for first, which I was hoping didn't happen due to the tiebreaker, but @mklisz @RichD @mps @Shandycan and @bjohnson all got nine points.

    The tiebreaker ended up being 8,603 points scored in total. This month's winner is @mps with his tiebreaker guess being 460 points off. Congrats MPS shoot me your contact information and I will see what kind of greatness I can get out your way!

    Next months (this month technically) contest will be up in the next couple of days. Was hoping to base it around the Masters but it will end up being a conglomerate of questions across multiple sports. Stay tuned!

    Thanks for running @PA-Michigander for running this one- happy that I finished in a tie for first, but sad I was a bit off on the points! Fun times nonetheless... looking forward to the next one!
