A miss-step for N0EL and Shirley takes over the top spot!

[Gunpowder]

It looks like the cold may have gotten to Bronto as their last few possessions have resulted in turnovers. Not much time left to collect themselves but I know they'll fight to the final buzzer.

EDIT: MISSED PDX WITH THE FRASIER BOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE

[Ryan]

Going to a meeting! Awesome!

Bronto with another turnover and that about seals it outside. Meanwhile Enoch has made up a point on Ryan as that game goes down to the wire. You guys noticed that I didn't do the OT questions yet, right?

Surprisingly the lowest temp on top of Everest is apparently -42 deg C. I too would have guessed much lower.

An unreal scene as we have yet another overtime affair here in the tourney. Igloolik is about to burst at the seams!

A live look at Duff celebrating their victory after earning a ticket to the final:

[Gunpowder]

Let's also give it up for Shirley, putting up the lowest score in regulation this week.

Anyway overtime is about to start. Jon Secada is losing his mind in here!

Holy shit the lights have gone out on the court!!

[Gunpowder]

This is crazy, how does this happen? I guess it is providing some suspense but man what an inopportune time for a technical problem to befall us.

Hope they get these lights back on soon!

[Gunpowder]

And it looks like we have light.

Hopefully it didn't affect Enoch's momentum too much.

AND RYAN PULLS IT OFF IN DOUBLE OT! What a game! One for the ages!

Ryan survives and Enoch's impressive run comes to an end. Can Duff play next week the way he played in the second half today? He's going to need to do so to have a shot but hey, that's why we play the games.

[Gunpowder]

I will be away this week and so we'll wrap this up next week after I do my dumb taxes.

The coldest places aren't usually on mountain peaks. Because cold air sinks, the coldest places are in high-elevation basins - where the cold air sinking from the mountain peaks collects.

I answered Theodore Roosevelt because I ran the “Teddy” play to somewhat success a few rounds earlier. I liked that he aligned for a potential Double OT game winner.

‘twas not to be! Congrats Ryan!

Yeah, I was wracking my brain to remember the specific place, but I think it's in the US and it's some valley (maybe in Utah?) where it gets insanely cold at night, while the surrounding areas above the valley can get up to 100.

Def some cold-ass spots in WY

WHAT A GAME!

Super shocking list of countries hitting -60, never would have thought of Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia or Afghanistan.
