Ryan Morgan leads men's pool

Ryan Morgan, a Drake alum and Wisconsin fan, took sole possession of first place in the Living Room Times men's pool when Michigan State beat Pitt moments ago.

Morgan, who lives in Milwaukee, has 172 out of a possible 209 points in the 13th annual pool, presented by the UCLA Bruins. He will stay in first place tonight regardless of the UCLA-Texas A&M outcome.

Kevin Pilz of Newington, Connecticut and Ken Wagner of Nashville, Tennessee are tied for second with 167 points. Liz Janelle, Alex Whitfield and Khalil Aboukhaled -- previously tied with Morgan for first place -- are now tied for fourth with 165 points. (They picked Pitt.) Complete standings here and after the jump.

OK, remember that thread about heartbreaking losses?...

[Jim Hu]

The Ags lost by not having enough offense, which has been a problem all year. But I cannot help but point out that there was much more contact on several of the blocks by UCLA than there was on the Stanford block at the end of regulation at the end of the Stanford-UCLA game. I also note that Sloan somehow ended up lying on his back after that final block.

Home cooking was not determinative in this game, but it was NOT absent.

My red pen is earning its keep this week. I haven't seen this many red Xs since my last trig class.

MLS starts next week, so that will help ease the pain....

Woohoo! I'm in sole possession of 214th!
