Guys - I goofed. Hawai'i IS eligible - they have a game against Niagara on the 16th. Please, if you see errors, let me know!

Thanks! (Note: I think game is on 16th, not 22nd).

Yes, it's on the 16th.


Gimme a break. I just woke up! And honestly, until it gets down to less than 75 teams, there's a lot of room for error. So again, if you see a goof, let me know!

EDIT - I clearly forgot the rules so I'm gonna look at the schedule again before locking these in

Butler (vs ETSU)
Duquesne (vs Strony Brook)
Nebraska (vs Rider)

Thanks for the reminder, didn't catch the thread while in/traveling back from Provo!

Let me know when you finalize this (tag me or something...).

Totally understand. If I were in charge of tracking all this, we'd have a ton more errors than that!

"Feast Week" tournaments in week 3 should bring significant dwindling of unbeatens.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Okay. Fun fact. Next week is going to be a total pain. There are numerous tournaments so it will be difficult at best to figure out how many games a team will play in advance. Here is a link to a pretty comprehensive blog that lists all the teams in the different tournaments, and what dates the tournaments will be played.

2023-24 Men’s College Basketball Early Season Tournaments and Exempt Multi-Team Events (MTEs)

A list of the 2023-24 men’s college basketball season’s exempt multiple-team events (MTEs) and non-exempt tournaments, featuring schedule and TV/streaming information.

If you want to play it safe, pick teams that are not playing in any of the tournaments. If you're feeling lucky, pick teams playing in tournaments and I will do my best to track the games for you. Remember, this is NEXT week's picks (Nov 20-26), not the current picks.

Also, we have family visiting on Friday, Saturday & Sunday of next week; updates might be limited.

Great minds!

Looking more closely at that page, it looks like many of those tournaments are actually this week. Be careful!

It can get tricky with tournaments ... sometimes a simple web search of a specific school's schedule lists only the first game of an MTE (usually have to go to official schedule link) so it's easy to overlook having multiple games within a week.
