Conference Tourney Day 1-2 Recap and Payouts
Wednesday and Thursday of the conference tournament is moreso about not blowing it than it is winning. And we've already had some big names blow it. It looks like there will be no repeat as last year's champ Charlie Brutcher might already be mathematically eliminated and I just can't tell yet. Same goes for inaugural winner AND second-place finished Heather Knauf, who probably needs a miracle Purdue run to have a chance.
But enough about the bottom of the leaderboard. Let's check the top of the pile. Oh wait...
8 for 8!
8 for 8!
8 for 8!
8 for 8!
Win or lose, I feel like I've already won, as my main entry sits atop the leaderboard with all eight teams still playing today. Could I lose all eight teams today and drop to last? Sure. I'm figuring I'll lose at least four teams today. Do I care? HELL NO! 8 FOR 8! 8 FOR 8!!!
Uh, anyway, you probably care more about payouts than my inane ramblings, so let's get to that...

Conference Tournament Leaderboard and Pick Summary
Entries are closed! First, wow, David has terrible grammar. You'd
think he was the math major and I was the comm major given our writing
ability. Second, the leaderboard is here:

Next, thanks to the power of Google Forms, fancy graphs showing a breakdown of picks!
If you picked Kentucky-Duke-Utah-VCU-UCONN/Xavier-Texas as your 1-2-3-5-6-7, I think you better be happy with a split. The popularity of most of those was not too shocking. I am a little surprised by Xavier, but I guess we get a pretty savvy group for a contest like this. Not surprisingly, the Big 10 proves to be the most scattered conference, even though Wisconsin is going to crush that group. The Pac-12, A-10, and Big East also had quite a few differing opinions. I'm guessing not a lot of people watched the Pac-12 given that garbage UCLA team was picked by several of you. The A-10 & Big East after Villanova are both a couple of messes, so those were good spots to take a flier (unless you're like me and think Villanova cruises there).
