Michael Walsh and Jason Cowans are tied for first place through 28 games -- but one of them could take sole possession of the lead during the first round's final quartet, depending on the outcome of the Ohio State-Siena and Wake Forest-Clevelend State games.
Walsh and Cowans both picked favorites Michigan State, Florida State, and Wake Forest tonight. But Walsh picked Ohio State, while Cowans picked Siena. Thus, that game will decide who has the lead at night's end -- unless Cleveland State pulls the upset, in which case, if Ohio State beats Siena, Tyler Condon would tie Walsh for the lead.
Walsh and Cowans are 26-2. Condon and nine others are currently tied 5 points back with 25-3 records. Standings here.
