The Unofficial AllGames Group Update: Day 2


The shocking loss by Duke on the second day of the NCAA Tournament sent the entire Unoffical AllGames group into a tailspin.  Every entry had Duke winning and advancing into the Round of 32, with four of the eleven entries having Duke going into the Elite Eight.  The player that came out today the least hurt was YT4RD, revealed today to be Cgu11.  However, despite having the most potential points left of anyone in the group, Cgu11 is not the leader of this group.

ShadowNextGen and mattober100 are the leaders of the group, each earning 260 out of a possible 320 points in the first round, while both having the same amount of points they could possibly accrue.  Both of these users achieved their top status through different means.  ShadowNextGen is bolstered by wins from Wichita State, Florida, and still having a perfect West Region remaining.  Meanwhile mattober100 has a perfect East Region bracket going, as well as having correctly picked the advancement of all the number four seeds in the tournament.  Both ShadowNextGen and mattober100 picked unique winners of the tournament, Wichita State and Michigan respectively.  It will be interesting to see how these choices play out in the rounds ahead.

dcNate is probably regretting his choices right now.  Yesterday Nate owned the last place bracket in the group.  Now dcNate owns the two worst performing brackets in this group, and, with Duke's loss, dcNate's chances to win are minuscule at best.  Nate's best hope is that his Mathematically, of course bracket performs well going forward.  However, since upsets seem to define this year's tournaments, if any of the higher seeded teams wins their games, dcNate's chances will be kaput.

You humble narrator sits alone in ninth place in this group, and, with loses today by Oklahoma State and BYU, Redertainment's chances to win the group have all but dried up.  Redertainment can only hope to cheer on people like Hectzilla and DoomPlague, while also hoping he doesn't sink to the level of dcNate.

While it is still possible for anyone to win this group, the winner will, in all likelihood, come down to either ShadowNextGen, mattober100, or Cgu11.  Strong showings by Virginia and Wisconsin could propel joedigitch to the top, but, if any top seed loses, many other users may join dcNate in the cellar of this group.
