Here's the update to our standings for the Final Four.
1. Marut - 98/162
2. Mothfarmer - 96/160
3. Krug - 94/158
4. Solo230 - 88/152
5. Dr Moocowz - 81/97
6. comatoast - 76/140
7. t00ns 74/138
8. Joshiyama - 71/119
9. vindeejin - 57/73
10. Arkady - 29/45
Still pretty close and can see the exceedingly high potential numbers still left with the fact that all the number 1 seeds made it to the final four this year for the first time ever. So here's a breakdown of who can still win the group this year and how.
Marut - North Carolina and Memphis make it to the championship game, the actual champion does not matter. (2/8)
Mothfarmer - North Carolina wins the championship and UCLA makes it to the finals (1/8)
Krug - Kansas wins the championship (opponent does not matter) or Kansas and Memphis in the finals. (3/8)
Solo230 - UCLA wins the championship (opponent does not matter). (2/8)
So very close and could be over with on April 5th when the games start back up or April 7th when the championship is played.
As far as the top 3 goes, the 4 people mentioned above will fill out the top 3 in the majority of the scenarios, however here are the exceptions.
comatoast - 3rd place if North Carolina wins the championship
t00ns - 2nd place if UCLA wins the championship
Joshiyama - 3rd place if UCLA wins the championship and Kansas makes it to the final
Good luck to the participants the rest of the way and thanks again for making this annual event successful once again. Everyone's favorite interviewer, Moo, will be in contact with the champion for an exclusive interview, so be sure to stay tuned to www.tribe-tia.org, your number one source for NCAA TIA news!

While those parenthetical odds are based on an assumption that each game is a 50/50 outcome, what is interesting is that I suspect Vegas considers Mothfarmer's path to victory as the most likely of the 8 possible outcomes, with the second most likely outcome being UCLA beating North Carolina in the championship game. So while in the coin flip version of things, I have a slight edge, I suspect things are actually pretty even.
Should be fun regardless.

I have a feeling Marut is going to pull off a win via the Silent but Deadly route

Looks like the final game is not going to matter, with Memphis on the verge of eliminating UCLA. I suppose a miracle come back is possible, but it doesn't seem likely.
So the TIA league is coming down to North Carolina vs. Kansas in the semi-finals.

I didn't check a final champion, but for laughs i'll say NC all the way.

Krug is going to win.
I only bet when I know I'm right.
