Well, They certainly have an opportunity to get a win today, but they lost at home to Maritime, why should we think they'll beat them on the road? At any rate I wouldn't bet the farm on them today.

Down goes Hugenerd. WPI 80, MIT 68!

smedindy · January 21, 2012, 04:58:34 PM

A double-digit home loss to fall off the unbeaten list. Ouch!

smedindy · January 21, 2012, 07:36:01 PM

Another one gone...

UMHB loses to McMurry 75-71. Two undefeated left, and both are accounted for in the contest.

Now that's what I would call perceptive intuition. Look at all the ones that weren't chosen, hung around for a time and have fallen by the wayside.

I congratulate my opponent on a wise choice. I think he's going to win as well, since Middlebury has to play Amherst and Williams yet. Not to mention my Plattsburgh State Cardinals on Tuesday.

A game I plan on traveling to Middlebury to see. I figure in case they do win the survivor pool it will be nice to have seen them play live and in person. I'm afraid if Whittier doesn't pull off the upset tonight that the Stags will run the rest of the table. Or at least win through the end of January and Midd has to play Williams on January 28th.

Will be coming right up hopefan.

Been getting calls from some coaches with questions in between my posting. Trying to multitask and my typing skills don't allow that.

But I hear you.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner. The judge from St Louis scored it 10-7 in favor of hopefan. The judge from Wiscosin scored it 10-9 in favor of PointSpecial and the winner is:

hopefan...hopefan

as NYU-Polytechnic goes down to defeat by beating NY Maritime 70-50.

smedindy · January 21, 2012, 09:09:13 PM

That's not just easing off the winless list, that's forcing your way off of it big time.

Now let's hope everyone gets a win!

Where is billyballer now? I gues poly wasn't the worst team ever assembled. Congrats to the fighting blue jays and hopefan.
