Kirby repeats as NIT Pool champ

For the second year in a row, Gary Kirby is the Irish Trojan NIT Pool champion.

Kirby, a.k.a. "gahrie," clinched when UMass knocked off Florida to advance to Thursday's championship. Kirby actually picked the Gators to win this game, but he had them losing to Ohio State in the title game, while Brian Dupuis, a.k.a. "DUP," picked Florida to win the title -- and needed them to do so in order to overcome Kirby in the standings.

In 2006, Kirby was the runner-up in the second annual Irish Trojan NIT Pool. Last year, he won the third annual pool, and now he's the champion of the fourth annual pool as well.

The Ohio State-Ole Miss semifinal is still underway. Complete standings here and after the jump.
