Welp. That drops my hopes a bit. I really wanted to wipe that smirk off that purple twit's face. Blerg.

Yay, Cyclones!!!
Some carnage yesterday, and everyone has lost at least one pick, SEMO was the killer, as nearly all of us picked them.
Through last night -

Nope. That was mentioned in the post yesterday. He only turned in the second group of picks...unless of course I missed the first group submission, in which case my humble apologies and someone please link me to it!
I did not submit anything for Group 1. Thought I would get in on Group 2 and pick up my usual participant trophy. No problem, I am used to bringing up the rear on these contests! Thanks for allowing me to 'tag along"!
Pretty bumpy for me so far. Need Bradley to come thru today. And Winthrop to even things out for me a little
Yeah, I was thinking about you when I put this together! The hits just kept coming for you & @qwerty .
Yep this is shaking out similar to how my brackets for the big tournament usually do. I haven't lost hope yet, lots of games to go!Yeah, I was thinking about you when I put this together! The hits just kept coming for you & @qwerty .
Former Creighton player, Alan Huss, is the head coach at High Point.
Random note, interesting how ASUN tournament lasts for 8 days (Sunday-to-Sunday) and only 4 rounds. No other tournament is that "spread." TV scheduling obviously has something to do with when the final is played, but curious why it starts the earliest of any.
I'm just setting up for the dramatic turnaround, storm in from right field comeback!Yeah, I was thinking about you when I put this together! The hits just kept coming for you & @qwerty .
Ooopsies!
Something was nagging me today. When I count wins/losses I go by which teams are blacked out. I failed to notice that OVC doesn't allow all of the teams into the tournament, so I thought I still had more games to check. Then I remembered this afternoon that 500 said one team was punching its ticket yesterday. My apologies to qwerty, Cyclones 29 and CoKane - they each scored a win yesterday.
