Friday night’s upsets threw many teams in a tizzy, and have tightened up the race already in the 2013 Mount Saint Joseph NCAA Tournament Pool.
Five people are now tied for first, and only four points separates first place from last. Seven people were clever enough to pick Minnesota to beat UCLA, but only Sister Jane Miriam Hancock picked Florida Gulf Coast to knock off Georgetown. Amber Jones retains a share of the lead heading into Saturday’s games, but was the one person to pick Western Kentucky to knock off top seed Kansas. Oops. Kim Gunterman is the only person to pick one bracket perfectly, getting all eight games correct in the Midwest.
Four people have lost a team from their Final Fours. Katie Risley lost Notre Dame, Cyndy Madi was let down by Kansas State and Mike Stelmach and Mark Blandford were both done in by New Mexico.
Saturday and Sunday games are worth two points each. Here are the standings beginning Saturday.
