Keith was the only person in the pool, including me, who picked Loyola to beat Fairfield, and he's in the lead because of it. I'm guessing if there were a bunch of Loyola grads in our pool a few more people would have picked the Hounds to win, especially since they were favored. 

Because so many people picked Fairfield to either win the championship (Antonio, Mike, Brendan) or lose in the championship game (Bill, Rory, Scott), only three people still have a chance to win the pool. 

I'll go over the scenarios first, then give you the standings.

• If Siena wins the tournament, Keith wins. (Keith and Rich both have Siena beating Rider in the finals, so if that happens, Keith would win because he would maintain the four-point lead he established because of Loyola's win over Fairfield). 
• If Marist wins, Chris wins because he's the only person who picked the Foxes to win the tourney (and also the only one to pick them to advance past the semis). 
• If Rider wins, Tom would win. Tom and I both have Rider over Siena in the finals, but I am not eligible to officially win the pool and the free t-shirt, so essentially, Tom would win the pool the same way that the Iona women won an NIT bid: Marist isn't eligible to go to the NIT because they're going to the NCAA, so Iona gets the bid for finishing second). 
• Loyola is the only team remaining that no one picked to win the title. If Loyola beats Marist in the finals, Chris wins the pool. If the Hounds beat Rider, the prize goes to Keith. 

The standings. 

18 points -- Keith

14 -- Chris, Antonio, Rich, Mike and me

12 -- Tom, Bill, Brendan 

10 -- Scott, Rory 

Next year, our goal is to at least double the number of participants and have 20.
