HoosierAloha Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 How much interest would there be for a college basketball pick ems? I'm thinking 25 games a week Monday to Sunday with the majority of the games coming from the Big Ten and top 25. If we can get 10+ people I would be happy to put it together. It would be similar to the CFB/NFL pick em where it is just picking the winner and not the spread. In the noncon it might be a little boring with not too many marquee matchups each week but would definitely be better during the conference season. Let me know!

JHoosier914 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I’m in! Would be great to pick against the spread but lines rarely come out more than 24 hours in advance. Hard for a pickem gameSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
LIHoosier Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I'm game, may be tough around Thanksgiving with all those 'classic' tournaments that were invented 3 weeks ago. HoosierAloha 1 Quote

I've done the football one before at work but never a basketball one. I think we could get 25 games a week but some might be too easy to pick like IU over Indiana S... errrrrr.

I'm not sure how we'll do the season winner yet, total points vs. best average. I just don't like picking too many games where the outcome is should be a given. A handful of Big Ten or ranked teams vs. directional universities is fine but I'd like 15+ each week with a close betting line. Quote

HoosierAloha Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 What rules would you like to see? 25 picks/week drop one/two lowest scores throughout the season week starts Monday and runs through Sunday HoosierAloha always wins or he'll take his game and go home deadline to post predictions will be Sunday night Any rules you would alter or like to see in place?

While these recommendations do NOT have to be taken at all and I won't care one way or another; I think it would be cool to see all major conferences represented (Big 10, Big 12, ACC, SEC, Pac 12, Big East). Perhaps when all these early season tournaments go on, we could pick the winner and runner-up of each tournament for 'bonus points' (or regular points, either way). This, in a sense, would allow us to use these tournaments in our game but not have to worry about not knowing the matchups. Quote

I like that idea but I'm not sure how points would be awarded for the tourney. Maybe 1 point for first round, 2 for 2nd round, etc. with a bonus if you guess everything correctly. If anyone else has input on this particular idea please let me know! Quote
