The Undefeated and the Winless

[Mr. Ypsi]

Scratch Lawrence off the survivor list - 67-70 to UWSP.

[Greek Tragedy]

Whitworth is starting to look real good about now.

Why is that?

[Greek Tragedy]

In the battle of Wesleyans, Ohio beat Illinois.

[Flying Dutch Fan]

Looks like hope1 or I is going down tonight (I HOPE it's me)

[hope1]

CALVIN LOST  tonight so flying dutchmen is out

[Flying Dutch Fan]

I exit the contest with a huge smile - knowing that my evil plot worked.  I picked Calvin hoping it would jinx them, but the Hope players did it for me!!

[hopefan]

hopefan  WPI   GONE     

[David Collinge]

Emory beats #23 Maryville (TN) 93-82, and I'm gone. 

[unbearable]

I think this is right.  If so, then eleven particpants remain.  "These go to eleven."

As usual, I'm letting down the good name of the Hall of Fame.  Oh, I suppose you could say that Ralph is too, but we all know that his pick was just his attempt to work voodoo on the Choctaws.  I have no such excuse. 

[Ralph Turner]

Mississippi College comes to McMurry this Thursday.  In fact McMurry has a great weekend with the Choctaws on Thursday, Louisiana College on Saturday and at Hardin-Simmons on Monday night.

It is hard to find a better women's rivalry than Hardin-Simmons/McMurry.  See photo gallery from 2005.

The game is at HSU this time and starts at 5:30 pm with the Men to follow!

[Mr. Ypsi]

If I'm counting it right (and no more losses already tonight), we have 12 teams (14 pickers) down, 8 teams (10 pickers) still surviving.  I don't know how this compares to previous years, but since we are supposedly picking only the 'best of the best', this seems a bit on the poor side for so early in the year.

If I had noticed that IWU was playing AT #4 UWW in their second game, I would never have picked them.  Once we survived that game, I thought things looked awfully good through about mid-January.  To recycle a cliche, I guess that is why they play the games!  (And why it may not be wise to pick a team that graduated 8 of its top 9 players, AND has a new coach!)

Per the NCAC board, I take it that Woo and Witt play each other in about two weeks.  Any other matchups of survivors on the horizon?

[Mr. Ypsi]

Per the ODAC board, Va Wes falls to Averett.

[David Collinge]

Per the Scoreboard as well.  It was 81-73 for Averett.

Also per the scoreboard, Sager's Fighting Violets stay unbeaten by throttling York (NY), 56-36.  York, of course, beat both #18 Christopher Newport and #7 WPU to start the season.
