The Undefeated and the Winless

[Mr. Ypsi]

And Hope also lost.  And by all accounts, UWSP was damn lucky they didn't join them (they were saved by their free throw defense!).

[magicman]

Today's Losers that needed to be winners.

augie77               Bethany College (West Va)          lost to Baldwin-Wallace 80-75

Today's Winners that needed to be losers

[hopefan]

Huge game for my defending winless champs, Principia, on Tuesday, when they host St Louis Pharmacy... it's a little disturbing to me that they only lost their opener to Cornell by 12...Tuesday's game looms huge in my drive to repeat...

I predict that on Wednesday you will no longer be defending your title.

[John Gleich]

Oshkosh beat Edgewood in OT 63-54 so Tom's done in the winless column.

[John Gleich]

Illinois Tech won 74-59, and produced a completely normal stat sheet.....
http://www2.northcentralcardinals.com/documents/2012/11/17/cofiit.htm?id=1881

I'm not so sure that was completely normal... The teams combined to shoot 6/41 from 3 and 21/49 from the free throw line.

In a stunning turn of events, COF managed to assist on 8 field goals yesterday too!

[magicman]

Oshkosh beat Edgewood in OT 63-54 so Tom's done in the winless column.

I knew that per this post yesterday to Tom:

Good work, Magicman.

Thanks Tom,

Unfortunately I have to reply with bad news as UW-Oshkosh is beatin Edgewood 64-53 in OT with 34 seconds to go. Has won 64-54 and falls off the winless list. Sorry.

Just never carried it through to my new list. Thanks John I will update it.

[Greek Tragedy]

Nothing like knocking me down and then kicking me while I'm on the ground.  Two shots!  Ouch.  LOL 

[smedindy]

smeds may be the 1st person in survival pool history  that lost both his Undefeated and Winless picks on the same day.

I gots talent. And it looks like Green Mountain may win by scoring a badillion points (technical measurement) each game.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

so much for my winless pick... the Quakers of Earlham take down Oberlin 76-55

[smedindy]

The Oberlin / Franciscan game on the 24th is the pillowfight of the young season thus far.

[Greek Tragedy]

Can I switch my winless team to Randolph-Macon?    They beat my pick, UW-Oshkosh! 

[Mr. Ypsi]

The Oberlin / Franciscan game on the 24th is the pillowfight of the young season thus far.

I nearly put that one on the Pickems schedule, but settled on Macalester @ Caltech instead!  So many pillowfights, so little time!

Can I switch my winless team to Randolph-Macon?    They beat my pick, UW-Oshkosh! 

Thanks to Randy Mac, I'm starting the  Pickems season in a hole - HALF my six losses were picking them to win!
