NCAA Basketball Pick'em

[WPWells]

I struggle to get into college basketball, so I was thinking that maybe if I ran a pick'em on here this season that I might be able to get into it more. If there's interest (like at least 5 people besides me) I'll do it.

[BigLion10]

Count me in

[HorseFeathers]

I'll do it....might have to remind me though

[AirWarren]

I'm in.

[Jack1990]

I'll give it a try

[HorseFeathers]

Wait...your not gonna post some games from those obscure confences with teams like slippery rock, or anchorage are you?

[WPWells]

Not too many

[mtindian42]

I'm in

[AirWarren]

I like college basketball so I'm in.

[WPWells]

Alright, I'll work on the pick sheet

[Longfellow]

I'll play. I'll try to remember to do these

[BrianfromCarlisle]

I'm in

[VHSCoach2]

I'm in.

[WPWells]

Alright cool. It looks like the interest is there. I'll start figuring out what I want this contest to look like.

[pioneers]

I'll give it a shot.

[WPWells]

I think the pick'em will start with the 24-hour tipoff marathon.

[Longfellow]

Ahh college basketball. The land of Cinderella teams, buzzer beaters, ridiculous upsets, and Dick Vitale. One of my favorite times of the year.

[fastdrop]

college basketball does not start until March. Wake me up then.

[VHSCoach2]

I've seen that there have been numerous D-1 teams who have either lost to, gone to overtime with, or barely beaten D-2 or lower schools in their scrimmage games.

I know St. John's lost by almost 40. Clemson and Auburn got taken to overtime. Murray State lost to NAIA school Freedman-Hardeman.

[VHSCoach2]

Add Iowa losing to Augustana to the above list.

[OB11]

I'd like to give it a shot.

[VHSCoach2]

DOWN GOES #1!

North Carolina (without Marcus Paige) loses on the road to Northern Iowa, 71-67.

[WPWells]

I'm not going to have time to run this contest this year. I'll try again next year. I'll change the thread to NCAA Basketball

[HorseFeathers]

Change it back....I'll do it...

How many games y'all want to pick per week?

Just power conference/top 25 games etc?

And end of the year would obviously be filling out a bracket....

I'll post first weeks games tonight if 12th is good with it...

[WPWells]

Sure - go for it HF. I'll change it back, and maybe we can alternate weeks

[HorseFeathers]

Just going to go with a simple pick winners Format. Scoring will be done by Wednesday night of the following week(Hopefully), There will be at least one game each week worth 2 Points...Usually some obscure teams to make it interesting

So First Go Round of Games for the 1st NCAA Basketball Pick 'EM

Think we'll go with a bunch of gimme games to see how much interest we can generate for this...
