Third NIT Challenge Update

Not a lot has changed since the second update. Despite having the fewest correct picks in this round, Jason's still in first place with 21 points, I'm in second with 20, Jeff and Dan are tied with 19 each, and Justin has 16 points. The biggest difference is possible points remaining, since none of our champions are still alive. If everything goes his way, Jason can still earn a maximum of 4 points. Dan, Justin and I can still earn 3, but Jeff can only earn 1 more point.

Because the bracketmaster website has increased point values for each round, their rankings are different. I have the highest ranking in our group, at #20. Because Justin did better in the last two rounds than in the first, he's jumped ahead of Jason, and they're now at #26 and #27, respectively. Dan did extraordinarily well in this round, with 6 correct picks, so he is now ranked #29. Jeff, unfortunately, has fallen back to #38, and Andy is at #61.

The next update will be after the Quarterfinal round ends on Friday.
