With 15 first-round NIT games finished and one still in progress — Cal leads New Mexico 56-54 with 7:19 left — Mark Gardner remains in sole possession of first place in the Irish Trojan NIT Pool with a 15-0 prediction record. Randy Styles, Sean Sullivan and Ginny Zak are in a three-way tie for second at 14-1.

Gardner picked Cal over New Mexico, as did Styles and Zak. But Sullivan picked the Lobos, and thus he would tie Gardner for first if they win. If the Bears win, Gardner will finish the first round with a perfect 16-0 record.

UPDATE: Cal won, so Garner is officially 16-for-16! Well done! Full standings here and after the jump.
