Don’t be mistaken: Monique Jones is not doing well in the Glimm Memorial NCAA Tourney Pool. In her JonesMo2 bracket, she missed 15 of the 32 first-round games and 8 of the 16 second-round games. She’s got 39.5 points, good enough for 175th place out of 206.
Yet after two rounds and 48 games of this NCAA tournament, Monique still has a chance. If North Carolina, Texas A&M, Kansas and Iowa State make the Final Four, Monique can still will the whole damn thing.
The point is this: Even if your bracket seems busted and you’re lingering near the bottom of the standings, you may not be done yet. In fact, although Jen Millman and Evan Kwarta have been fighting for the top spot through the weekend, 57 Glimmers still have a chance of winning the pool, and 83 can finish in the top three.
With a number of upsets through the first weekend, the Glimm is still wide open. None of the top 14 in the standings have an in-tact Final Four, and half of that group has already lost their champion (thanks, Sparty!).
