The Unofficial AllGames Group Update: Day #6

In many basketball games, there comes a point where a team gains such a large lead that victory is seen as an inevitability, that victory is all but assured, that the only thing separating one team and their victory is the passage of time.  That point may have been achieved today in the Unofficial AllGames Group.  Now that all of the Sweet Sixteen matchups have been played, it can be said that five of the eleven entries scored 160 points or more in Third Round of play.  All five of those entries made very similar choices.  One entry of those five made a slightly different pick.  That pick gave that entry not only the lead, but also a dominant position going forward.  That one entry, the entry that accrued the most points in the Third Round belongs to DoomPlague.  DoomPlague's entry is the only entry of the top five that correctly picked Michigan State to advance to the Elite Eight.  In doing so, DoomPlague not only earned the most points of the entire group in this round, 200, but DoomPlague also has the most possible points left to earn, 960.  To put that in perspective, DoomPlague is now in the lead in this group by fifty points over second place Cgu11, and is in the lead in possible points, over mattober100, by 160 points.

Given that all entries in the top three picked Florida to win the tournament, and dcNate's fourth place entry picked Florida to advance to the championship game, time may be the only thing separating DoomPlague from victory in the Unofficial AllGames Group.  Only a loss by Florida on Saturday may prevent DoomPlague's inevitable victory.
