***2023-2024 College MBB Survivor game***
- Thread starter ImJustKCClone
- Start date
I expect three teams to drop this week, and (including Arizona) I have 9 available teams left. The SMART move would have been to drop down to 1 or 2 LAST week!At this point taking 3 wouldn't be wimping out to me. It's a smart play.

I think more than 3 will fall. More like 5 or even 6
I meant three of the nine I have left. Based on the ESPN odds, could be as many as eight of the fourteen left. Eeeep!
Week 5:
Houston
Hate not trying for "extra points," but options are dwindling. "Survive and advance."

In basketball I remember the logo with the cactus on the basketball court when ISU played there in 93 ncaa tournament. Probably similar to this one below.

Remember to get your picks in before the games on Tuesday! A few posts back I noted which teams each of you have already picked, to help you narrow down what's left for you.
Most of the teams are only playing once this week. In fact, for the next four weeks, there are very few times that a team plays more than once in the week. And a fun fact - every single remaining team has a game scheduled for 6 January.

I put together a little chart so you can see how you match up with the other players. Teams and players are in alphabetical order, not by conference or by player standing. X marks that the team has already been picked by the player, blank means available team for the player.
Note that @Gerbs and @NWICY have not yet made their picks for this week, so they have a false "advantage". Their available teams will go down by at least one team each after they pick. Maybe this will help your strategy, maybe it won't. I did it to help ME visualize the competition, and I just thought I'd share.

South Carolina lost, making it 13 teams. No new players eliminated. No more games until Saturday/
Games today!!!
Fun fact - there are 13 undefeated teams left, and 6 of them are current Big 12 teams. If you include incoming members, it's 7 with Arizona. Helluva a basketball conference, eh?
We will lose at least ONE undefeated today as Clemson & TCU play each other. Nobody picked either of them though, so that won't impact the players. I've noted the teams and their tip-off times today & tomorrow. I've also noted which teams were picked by players with bold type. Baylor is already done for the week.
