For the first ever CSNBBS men's basketball pick contest, the games are:

All times ET
Saturday 1/16
Ohio State at Illinois, noon
North Carolina at Florida State, noon
San Diego State at Utah State, 1:30pm
Michigan at Minnesota, 2pm
Stanford at Colorado. 3pm
Baylor at Texas Tech, 4pm
Virginia at Clemson, 6pm
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, 8pm (POSTPONED)
Gonzaga at St. Mary's, 10pm

Sunday 1/17
Iowa at Northwestern, noon
Penn State at Purdue, 1pm

Because no one made a pick before the postponement was made, a replacement was chosen. If someone else picks before a game is postponed, there will be no replacement game.
Offer suggestions for games to pick for next week as well.

I will make picks but of course will not be eligible for rep points. I however will mock you all if I finish ahead of all of you.

Florida State (W)
Utah State (W)
Minnesota (W)
Colorado (W)
Texas Tech (L)
Virginia (W)
Gonzaga (W)

For this week, I'll accept entries until 11:30am ET. If no one else enters, owl at the moon automatically wins!

Ain’t no such thing as automatic.... I gotta beat you first!!!

You may also notice that I picked an odd number of games differently from you— that means (barring more cancellations) NO TIES... there will be a WINNER!

First game we differ on tips off in 25 minutes, UNC @ FSU

May the best poster win!!!

Technically you are competing against me but for the purpose of reputation points you win because I can't give rep points to myself:)

Hopefully there will be more players next time!

You are playing for rep points, too. I’ll hook ya up if your picks win out!

Good game but FSU prevailed 82-75

Stanford leads Colorado early, 13-12.

Colorado 77, Stanford 64.
Owl at the Moon clinches second place!

Got me on Iowa/Northwestern, too.

I’ll have to do more research next week if I’m going to improve.

Here’s one game I’d like to see on next week’s list, for first place in CUSA West:
Saturday’s Rice@UAB game.

I like keeping them all weekend games, a lot of times I don’t have the time during the week to keep up with it.

Final Standings:

owl at the moon: 6-4

Congratulations!

Hopefully more than one person plays next time!
