The Undefeated and the Winless

[7express]

YESS!!!!!!!  My undefeated pick already lost       

San Diego Christian beats C-MS 89-81.  Oh well, I'd rather be the first out then the second to last out.

[hopefan]

Good job magic and the rest, of keeping me informed... sorry to see two of my challengers on the losers side fall out so quickly... tough when those make or break games are the first of the season!!!

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

I almost went with an all HCAC pick after picking Earlham for winless... I thought about taking Transylvania for unbeaten but didn't have faith in a conference-mate winning every game. Now I'm glad I didn't as Transy stumbled out of the starting blocks 67-41 to Catholic

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Feeling good tonight.  My winless pick lost by 66 tonight.

[Mr. Ypsi]

My undefeated pick nearly went down on opening night.  With 7 seconds to go, IWU made all three FTs to win by 1.

[KnightSlappy]

My usually trusty Macalester Scots went down in victory in their seson opener versus Wisconsin Lutheran (who I meant to pick, honest  ). I'm off the winless board early this year.

Just saw a tweet, those were the first 3 free throws of that junior's career.

Feeling good tonight.  My winless pick lost by 66 tonight.

My winless pick only lost by 36 but I feel better than you. Your team lost to a top 25 team, my team lost to Maine-Presque Isle.

Somehow you just disappeared. You were there in all the previous incarnations. One of those guys with magic powers is pulling a fast one I think. Well you're back! At least for now.

[magicman]

Ethelred,

Isn't that 2 years in a row a win for your winless in their very first game. I think it was Cazenovia last year.

[Greek Tragedy]

Good work, Magicman.

[Ethelred the Unready]

Ethelred,

Isn't that 2 years in a row a win for your winless in their very first game. I think it was Cazenovia last year.

I must be a good luck charm.  Who knew....?
