My big worry is I think I might have overrated Henriquez.  I know he is better than what we had on the roster, but worried if he is really better enough for us to make a huge jump this year.  He needs to be really damn good for us to have a shot at the tournament.

i think the freshman and Graves will be better than advertised overall. That said,  Henriquez  is going to have to take a pretty dramatic jump over past production for that big leap to occur. The same is true, to lesser extent, with Foreman.

And the biggest jump is usually soph to Jr year. Additionally he had an extra year to practice in between.

I have added the latest people to have requested to join to the list. Don't hesitate to correct me or send me a PM if I forgot your name. 

Please review the rules as there have been slight adjustments as we gear up to begin tomorrow. Since we have 32 people who joined, I have decided to extend the NCAA tournament berths to the top 10 places rather than the top 5. More people joined than I anticipated, which is a good thing. Along with this rule change, there has been a change to the extra point system going into the tournament. Please Review. I think having 10 NCAA spots will keep more people engaged later in the season and make it more fun.

 

Additionally, I decided to make SLU games count for 2 points rather than the standard 1 point per correct game. You predict the correct winner of the SLU game, you get  points. This was an idea from @Cowboy . This isn't rue by committee because that can get unwieldy, but I am certainly open to suggestions like these. This is our league, and I want it to improve year after year and reflect what the message board wants. 

I don't anticipate any rule changes after this since the season starts tomorrow. Unless we run into some major loophole during the season I didn't think through, I don' want to make additional changes this year.

Round 1  submissions close tomorrow at the first tip off (Schedule at 6:00pm CST).

Round 1 Standings

16 games. 17 points possible (SLU game counts double). Please do PM me if you see a discrepancy. I was careful, but I'm not perfect.

@615Billiken, because the Round 2 St. Bonaventure game against Maryland-Eastern Shore was rescheduled for today (not included in Round 3), will you be counting that game towards Round 2?

I will be counting it for round 3. 

Also, as a side note, the Thanksgiving holiday has me busy with family time stuff. That being said, updated standings for round 3 will be a little late.

Finally starting to see who''s who! Here are the standings after round 3. Thanksgiving put me behind schedule! Apologies. Working to catch up. Top 10 would make the tournament right now.

Hello All,

A bit of housekeeping:

Round 6 will be posted shortly (tonight). I am in the midst of tallying up Round 5, and will have it post it this weekend I hope. I will also be posting how many points are possible as @Quality Is Job 1 suggested. It is a good idea. 

Once again, I apologize for the obvious delays. The last few weeks of the semester of my first year of grad school are kicking my butt more than I anticipated, and thus I have been a bit behind.
