How this works!!! Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s). It's a simple concept: Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week) +25 PTs if you guess the winner -25 PTs if you pick the loser +10 PTs if guess IU score correctly +10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter) -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter) *** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits. The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins Hey guys, Hova here sneaking an edit in on Str8's thread. Please keep this thread score predictions only. No need to make compiling the scores harder than it already is for him. We'll hide any non-predictions. Thanks!

Saw it in some other threads.... but... Galloway with a Broken wrist/hand... likely out a couple months... That is bad news, he was getting more playing time than many expected... He is the all purpose, Junk yard Dawg guy that many are all about.... High BBall IQ.... and with a serviceable shot could be a big help. Hope he heals up quick!

IU 85 LA 59 This one keeps the train rolling.... no let down games..

What a Fun Game.... 3 additional entries for this game... and again ONLY 1 person incorrectly predicted an IU Loss. After 3 games I have not yet started dropping the lowest scores.... after the next I will Drop 1 lowest score, and then from Game #5 on the standings will be posted with the 2 lowest scores of the season being omitted. Congrats to @cybergates, @Josh, & @MikeRoberts for Correctly Predicting IUs Final Score Congrats to @Dave from Dayton, @Kentuckysucks, @Naturalhoosier, & @Woodson1980 for Correctly Predicting St John's Final Score.

Nope... Only @Kentuckysucks apparently had head up @$$ this game!!! You are still on top of the Overall Leader Board.... Well above #23 & #39 who both think the Rule this league!!!

I am expecting a close one and hope the Hall is rocking for the 1st real game/test for Woodson's Hoosiers... St John's seems to score A LOT... but they haven't see a D like ours... so I will go in the middle... IU 72 St Johns 70

Great Game from the Final Score and Box score…. couldn't actually watch but it is what it is.... Bigger blowout than most expected and easily covered the spread. Only 1 person incorrectly Picked IU to Lose, and nobody got any actual scores correct... but a Familiar name at the top of this one And we added 3 more participants!

Ok this game we will actually step on it.... IU 83 N. Illinois 58

Well that game started well and then went downhill pretty badly from my point of view... I predicted we would score a lot more. On a GREAT note we had 61 participants for Game #1 and only had 59 all of last year so excitement is up for this team!!! 9 of you correctly predicted EMU's Final Score....

I think the P word you are looking for here is PLAGIARIZING Come up with your own thoughts.... your brain already frozen up there in the arctic.

Going Big out of the gate... IU 94 E Michigan 65

Just a reminder that this will be going again this year as we all collaborate to take down the reigning Champ @Class of '66 Old Fart as well as his 2nd place minion @Josh Got plenty of time to get predictions in ahead of Game #1 and then moving forward the threads will open on average 4 or 5 days before a game.

I truly think your analogy is backwards but who the heck knows at this point... Crawling is easier than Sprinting... therefore you learn to crawl first. 3p is easier than mid range therefore shouldn't you learn that first? Or maybe I am making too much of an analogy and its just drivel at this point.... Regardless TJD should learn to finish at the rim first with BOTH hands... then get the perfect form for FTs (cause he will have lots of opportunities)…. and should likely NEVER shoot a Mid Range or 3p shot!!! (hopefully we have plenty of shooters for that)

Why wouldn't you try the easier shot first? You said the 3 is easier than the mid range but want him to master the mid range prior to trying to work on the 3??

Sorry I didn't mean that negatively directed at you or anything... Simply saying I am glad there is so much more hope and support around the program this year that the tickets were gone in 2 minutes.

It is great to see the dedication and support for the program coming back so strong!

1 or 2 losses is the key there.... Nobody said they weren't actually good... but the UNDEFEATED stuff wouldn't be there... They would have lost at least 1 or 2 games in a P5 conference schedule. It does matter when and how played... playing tough road games out of conference is one thing and is a good basis of how they would fare, but playing tough teams night in and night out who have you completely scouted because you play them a couple times every year is a whole different ball game...

Make it 3.... Brunk had nothing to do with our record either, and could be big in the 2nd unit!

The teams you mentioned (5 Teams) went 3-4 in the tournament with 1 not making it... the 4 that did all got "upset" by lower seeds the 1st weekend.... Plus as mentioned they played them early in the season without fans being present... I am 100% NOT on the bandwagon that is Gonzaga.... yes they are good, especially this year and in recent years, but they are no where near true undefeated good, and they most certainly don't play a tough schedule overall comparatively....

If anybody is interested in participating in a Tourney Survivor Contest post your picks in here and I will track and update. RULES: You try to correctly pick 1 winner for each day that games are played. There are a total of 10 days of games during the Tournament. If at any time the team you pick loses, you're out of the pool. The catch is you can only use each team 1 time. Last one Standing is the winner! Picks must be submitted before that particular game begins. TIEBREAKER: I will add the seeds of the winning teams selected and the person with the highest total wins. *** I bumped the 2019 Thread as it has some clarifying posts and info in case anybody wants to look through the 1st page or 2 at different FAQs. *** I also run a separate one of these for $$$ if interested in that PM me.

They both play today..... you didn't make a pick for yesterday (3/29)..... Therefore you are ELIMINATED!
