Final NIT Challenge Update

Well, the NIT might not be over -- but our competition is. Almost everyone picked Syracuse to win, and, as you may or may not know, Syracuse got eliminated last night. So, as a result, no one has any active picks left in this game.

For the record, the NIT seeding strategists must be brilliant. I mean, who would have guessed that the final four would consist of all four 1-seeds?

Anyway, here are the final point totals:

Jeff: 31 (20 correct picks)
Bo: 23 (18)
Justin: 22 (15)
Andy: 21 (16)
Jon: 20 (16)
Dan: 16 (13)
Dara: 15 (13)

Jeff will receive the "Gary Williams Memorial NIT trophy" sometime soon.*

Man, I can't wait for next year, so that we can attempt this excercise in futility yet again.


*Per Justin's suggestion, the trophy is named after the Maryland coach, who, last year complained about missing the NCAA tournament, having to play in the NIT, and mid-majors in general -- and then proceeded to lose to Manhattan. This year, his team lost to another mid-major in the NCAA tournament.
