Day six and the third round of the ncaa tourney is over. The par for the day was picking two out of four(Kansas and Duke) which most people did. Special acknowledgement go to the two people who picked three of four. seismo!umcp-cs!beth also went with NCstate. tektronix!athena!neil also went with Navy. I thought I was sitting good with all four of my semifinal picks still alive in the tournament. Then I realized that a person ahead of me in the standings had the very same picks as I did for the rest of the way. In effect knocking me out of the race. Oh well. It wouldn't have been nice of me to win anyway. The contest continues to remain close. I anticipate it will remain so. Though seeing everyone's remaining picks, I can make a good guess as to the favorite. Interesting to note is that none of the top five contestants have gone with Duke to even make it to the finals, much less win it. This leaves plenty of potential to catch the leaders. Note that this weekends fourth round games are worth four points each. at 56 points: ihlpf!ccalille rhea!dosadi!pannell at 55 points: ihuxn!wph rhea!celica!fredrickson at 54 points: ptsfa!ptsfc!tonti at 53 points: hplabs!hao!asp mhuxl!jmd ihopa!scooby hoqax!twb ihwpt!wiso pur-ee!rsk ihlts!rainbow at 52 points: uwvax!uwmacc!ad msdc!gpb seismo!umcp-cs!beth at 51 points: jhunix!ins_asac rhea::gronowski druhi!rkp purdue!mkr at 50 points: mhuxd!pvg at 49 points: harvard!wohn rhea!ilm!register There are 9 people tied at 48 points.
