@Rmilia1 @Winners101 Did I miss something? Is this just a fun side bet or is there a tie-breaker that I didn’t see? :astonished:

OK folks. Here are (almost) everybody’s picks. @Duckfan32 apparently there’s no reason for you to waste your time; even if I messed up one of your picks, you win anyway! (Lucky ************!)

@brian_123 @Schradc18 @bkrebs07 @flagle I wasn’t able to tag more than 10 in my previous post, so I’m tagging you here. Please read my previous post and review your picks.

All 14 of you, review and speak now or forever hold your peace! Good luck.

Here are the “expert” picks: (the “S15” :joy:)

Favorites Picked Percent
Michigan St. 13 87%
BYU 14 93%
Oregon 10 67%
Nevada 8 53%
Gonzaga 14 93%
Texas Tech 13 87%
Kansas 12 80%
Drake 8 53%
Florida Atlantic 14 93%
San Diego St. 15 100%
New Mexico 10 67%
Auburn 15 100%
Texas A&M 9 60%
Wisconsin 10 67%
TCU 10 67%

So there are only two irrelevant games during this first phase: San Diego State and Auburn. No matter who wins those two games, it won’t affect us at all since we’ll all have the same result.

BYU, Gonzaga, and Florida Atlantic were all picked by 14 of us, so an upset there will give 1 player a nice leg-up on their opponent.

@Nyri_barrett picked Duquesne to beat BYU (maybe he’s the only one of us 15 who could spell it!) @bkrebs07 picked McNeese St. to beat Gonzaga. I’d wish him luck with that pick, except for the inconvenient fact that he’s my opponent this week! So bad luck, bkrebs07! :money_mouth_face: And then @brian_123 is the only one who picked Northwestern to defeat Florida Atlantic. Good luck with that!

Nevada (8 picks) vs. Dayton (7 picks) and Drake (8 picks) vs. Washington St. (7 picks) are the two most evenly picked games.

@averagejoe and @Jajaoly are the only two picking Mississippi State to beat Michigan State.

@jayreid and @Nyri_barrett are the only two picking North Carolina State to defeat Texas Tech.

Fun contest! Even though you’ll all eventually lose to me :roll_eyes: at least second place is up for grabs, so good luck, and don’t double dribble! :basketball_man:

Would you have like a stats for favorite to win the whole thing from the forum. From what i see, i think its Duckfan32

#21

I will have that eventually. Right now all I have entered and analyzed is the “Sweet 15” contest. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that @Duckfan32 is going to advance to the Elite 8 (or with any luck, maybe it’ll only be an Elite 6 or 7. I’m not beyond wishing for a couple more no-shows to improve my odds.)

#22

Hey, dont try too hard. I am well aware of your work load already. Cant say thanks enough
