Hey, FYI, I am not on the sheet.

Ragone · 03-20-2015, 11:17 PM

2 of my players are wrong.. Walkup and Parker should be replaced with Niang and jerian grant

Young Drachma · 03-20-2015, 11:57 PM

Ragone is fixed. Chief I'll get you in there now.

Young Drachma · 03-21-2015, 12:19 AM

Check my work on the spreadsheet. But everyone should be inputted. If there need to be fixes, can do them tomorrow obvi.

Based on today's scores:

Code:

Young Drachma	1810	5
nol	        1562	5
henry296	1554	6
britrock88	1454	5
murrayyyy	1352	6
muns	        1309	5
Butter_of_69	1208	6
Ragone	        1136	7
BillyMadison	1123	8
Vince, Pt. II	1102	8
Comey	        1083	7
wade moore	1061	6
Simbo Klice	1050	7
B&B	        1045	7
kingfc22	972	9
Lathum	        944	5
Chief Rum	881	8
BillyNYC	808	5
cartman   	700	9

Ramz was in 12th last year with 7 players left after the first two days and ended up winning the deal. Butter had a 594 point lead after the 2nd round last year, but only 4 guys left.

Two years ago, britrock was 2nd and had 7 guys left. So...seems like the balance is finding guys who will score enough, at a seed worth a damn, without losing them.

It's basically still anybody's game.

B & B · 03-21-2015, 07:18 AM

I see Chief Rum's team but I am still not in there???

Guess cause we posted our lineups on Thursday morning?

Young Drachma · 03-21-2015, 10:32 AM

Yeah probably. Wade did the initial inputting and I didn't get to it until
I put mine in late Thursday, assuming all others were there but didn't cross check. I'll add you in a few minutes

britrock88 · 03-21-2015, 11:37 AM

Close calls for both Buffalo and Valparaiso. Would have loved seeing Justin Moss and Alec Peters face off for a Sweet 16 berth.

Young Drachma · 03-21-2015, 11:57 AM

Updated the sheet with b&b and the scoring post.

Young Drachma · 03-22-2015, 11:57 AM

Vince, Pt. II · 03-22-2015, 12:33 PM

I've been worried that RJ Hunter was going to stake a few of you to leads that would be difficult to catch.

wade moore · 03-22-2015, 08:25 PM

One more round from him would have been nice

.

britrock88 · 03-23-2015, 02:16 PM

Just noticed the scoring cell for Spencer Collins (Wofford) is off.

britrock88 · 03-23-2015, 02:18 PM

But yeah... this year's upsets were hard to predict.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2015, 04:28 PM

I've updated the scoring spreadsheet through every game except the current Gonzaga-Duke game. Here's where we are:

Code:

Young Drachma			4309	1
B&B				4218	2 (-91)
BillyMadison			4108	3 (-201)
Ragone				4072	1

Simbo Klice			2441	3
muns				2434	2
Comey				2123	2
BillyNYC			2037	0
Lathum				2003	2

Pretty much everybody has some variation of Kyle Wiltjer, Travis Trice, Frank Kaminsky or Jahil Okafor. It'll be an interesting finish, the top 3 guys all have Trice who cancels you out.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2015, 04:32 PM

I only have Trice left who gets canceled out, so if I lose my lead today there's no coming back for me. Should be interesting to see how it plays out, but once again it'll come down to the wire. Weird year.

B&B has Wiltjer and Trice. Billy Madison has Trice, Wiltjer and Kaminsky. Wisconsin in the Final would give Billy the win more than likely. Wiltjer going HAM today would give B&B a victory more than likely since we all cancel out with Trice.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2015, 04:35 PM

I need Wiltjer to score less than 12 points to maintain my lead and also shot at the title. That's obviously not going to happen as he already has 10. Not bad though considering my team together in less than 10 minutes at a Starbucks on my phone just kind of picking randomly. I'll take it.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2015, 04:39 PM

13 points. It's a two man race now.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2015, 06:11 PM

BillyMadison · 03-29-2015, 11:02 PM

All comes down to Kaminsky. I'll need 23 points from him in a Wisconsin lost (which I'd venture is unlikely, maybe 25% odds he goes for 23, and if he does, I'd venture WI wins anyway...), or a win and another game of points in the Championship should surely clinch it for me. Fingers crossed...

Trice has been the big hitter for lots of people this tournament with 1400+ so far. B&B's pick of Normal Powell was huge too, 1000+.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-29-2015, 11:49 PM

I was on the fence between Van Fleet and Baker. Happy to know that even if I had gone the other way, two people had me covered.

britrock88 · 03-30-2015, 03:17 PM

Very chalky year, so 1-seed players are actually paying off on a certain level.

If you have Kaminsky, I'm for you!

Yeah, it's interesting to see how they can be useful.

B & B · 03-31-2015, 10:18 AM

Billy nailed the analysis.

Frank the tank needs 23 pts in the rest of the draw to win it for him. Odd that it just boils down to that alone.

Powell was clutch for me as he was the only player in a DD seed to get a 3rd game in. I had some big misses on players too, but we all did.

B & B · 03-31-2015, 10:29 AM

Actually, think the scoring is off for Stanley Johnson.

hes credited with 96 pts (disappointing) and 22,4,6

actually played 4 rounds and was

22,4,12,6

Should be 180, correct?

Young Drachma · 04-05-2015, 03:46 AM

Thanks B&B. Johnson error is fixed. After last night's games, here's where we sit:

Code:

B&B		4990	0

Young Drachma · 04-05-2015, 03:53 AM

16 or more from Frank Kaminsky in the championship would give BillyMadison the title. Every year of the game so far it's come down to the last game and the eventual leader always wins by less than 100 points. We'll take it. But this was surely the most chalky year ever.

Young Drachma · 04-06-2015, 09:14 PM

Frank the Tank has 7 points. Needs 9 more to give Billy the win.

BillyMadison · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

Kaminsky does it! This has to be the closest margin of victory thus far though yes? Lots of fun! See y'all next year.

Young Drachma · 04-07-2015, 12:28 AM

Final Score for 2015:

Code:

BillyMadison	5022
B&B		4990
Young Drachma	4869
wade moore	4750
Vince, Pt. II	4452
kingfc22	4227
Ragone		4200
henry296	3627
cartman		3303
Chief Rum	3299
Butter_of_69	3192
murrayyyy	3165
britrock88	2991
Simbo Klice	2855
muns		2788
nol		2638
Comey		2619
Lathum		2499
BillyNYC	2037

32 points is indeed the smallest margin of victory thus far. 5022 points is the lowest amount of points scored since the game expanded from 8 to 10 after the first year.

Thanks to everyone for playing, we'll see you next year!

muns · 04-07-2015, 07:49 AM

Congrats Billy! Another fun tourney and another fun play. Thanks again for getting it going again DC
