With the holiday behind us, we move on to our third round of games in this Tournament of Champions.
We're still very early in this, so for the 33 teams that remain unbeaten to this point, they should not start planning the parade yet, while the 31 without a win to this point should not yet be entering panic mode. After all, 64 of the 88 teams will advance to the next stage and there is plenty of time for everyone to make their case.
This last round of games also saw the tournament's first buzzer beater as well as our first 30-30 game. I'm waiting for the first quadruple-double to drop, as given we've already seen a quintuple-nickel in this tournament nothing else would really surprise me at this point.
As we move into our next round of games, standings, schedules, and scores for the tournament can be found here. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's get to it!
