Bracket Challenge Update #2

Round 2 (or 3) is over, and it’s still a tight race in the Out of Our League Bracket Challenge. Here’s what the standings look like through Sunday….

Rank	Player	Change	Score	Ceiling	E8	F4	NCG	Champ
T1	Dave Cuneo	0	440	1080	5	3	2	Miami
T1	Matt Hoffman	+2	440	0960	6	3	1	Kansas
T1	Ben Wisniewski	+9	440	0240	4	1	0	Georgetown
4	Jackson Callahan	+4	430	1080	5	3	2	Kansas

T5	Derek DeNote	-2	420	1120	6	3	2	Indiana
T5	Joe DiGerolamo	+5	420	1120	6	3	2	Miami
T5	Jeremy Faust	-2	420	1200	6	3	2	Indiana
T5	Gerry Wixted	-2	420	0600	5	3	1	Wisconsin
T10	Matt Hoover	+2	410	1200	6	4	2	Mich. St.

12	Mike Crawford	-10	390	0200	3	1	0	Gonzaga
T13	hawkhill09 (Ned?)	+1	380	1080	5	3	2	Louisville
T13	Tim Higgins	+1	380	0960	4	2	2	Louisville
15	Nick Laird	-7	370	1040	4	3	2	Duke

We’re all separated by a grand total of 60 points. Each Sweet 16 game is worth 40 points, I believe, so this is still anyone’s game. The Midwest and the South are the key brackets that will end up creating separation between the leaders and the pack next weekend. Should be fun…

It’s Cuneo with the early lead, but Fish is atop the ceiling category according to ESPN. Lots of basketball still to be played. I’ll continue to update after each round. Best of luck.
