Little East Pick 'em League

[7express]

I'll throw out the bonus 3 then.  Since I'm in last by like 50 points I don't think anyone would care if I picked that bonus 3 correctly anyways.

This is a relief, though honestly I was just going to pull an Amh63 and copy your picks 7express , since you seem to be the only one who knows anything about these CT high schools.

Well...I am coaching and scouting, so I'd HOPE I at least know a thing or 2

How will Dartmouth lose this game??

[amh63]

If I haven't made my Jan 6 picks, then they are Western Conn. and Regis.  Dartmouth has not paid out for me...note it is travel game.
General comment....it seems that this season the poorer record teams have been pulling the majority of "upsets"....in all levels.  Last night, 9th ranked Kentucky got blown out, yes blown out by LSU, a team that has been a disappointment to many.  Wesleyan had to go to OT to a 1-10 RIC to win.  This maybe a year when the home court will be more important, especially when the visiting team relies on young players.

UMass-Dartmouth 57 vs. Eastern University 76

Bonus 2: AFC North playoff teams: Pittsburgh & Cincinnati; AFC East playoff teams: New England.  AFC North 2 AFC East/both send same number of teams 1
Bonus 3: Mt. Union 49 St. Thomas 35

Week results:
Amh63 10-3* (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
FCGrizzlies Grad 10-3 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
AllStar 9-4 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
Booyakasha 9-4 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
WPI89 9-4 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
7Express 8-5 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
Magicman 8-5 (+3 bonus; 1, 2 & 3)
Warriorcat 6-4&
*= trying to pick out Amh's picks is harder than reading War & Peace in a foreign language 
&= Wildcat didn't pick bonus #3 and forgot to bold a winner in the Loras/USM game from the 28th, so had to give a loss in that one.  By percentage points via the 3 bonus picks the Express & Magicman picked up they avoided last place for the week (61.5% for the Express & Magic; 60% for Warriorcat)

Season results, since everyone except me is bunched up tightly, I will know use percentage points to group the totals):
FCGrizzliesGrad 49-24 (67.1%)
Amh63 48-24 (66.7%)
Warriorcat 46-23 (66.7%)
AllStar 47-24 (66.2%)
Magicman 47-25 (65.3%)
WPI89 46-26 (63.9%)
booyakasha 46-27 (63.0%)
and STILL bringing up the read the Express which has derailed 39-32 (54.9%)
As usual check for math

Must say....good times are here .   Plus there must be a method in my " madness"

Good grief.....more picks!  Looking over the teams....AND the choices of other pickers , I will take booyakasha's choices.  Have I commented here on the Little East teams' play? ....well, it makes picks difficult.  Prefer home teams....Keene State is perplexing.  UMass -Boston is another team that is proving hard.  I will go with them since a former Prez of the school....early days...is a classmate.
I must really proof read my posts before posting

Special bonus 3: Conard 51 Farmington 47; Morgan 62 Cromwell 48.  Morgan/Cromwell higher margin of victory

So which one do you coach and are these girl's teams?

Both are girls teams and I coach neither, though I do scouting for a school in the conference of Conard & Farmington.

[7express]

So, WPI89 the results of the high school game and bonus #3 are in:

Cromwell crushes Morgan 58-40 for a margin of victory of 18.  Not even close on this...the MOV OR the winner as I had Morgan winning 62-48.
Conard edges Farmington 51-49 for a margin of victory of 2.  I was 1 Farmington made field goal away from nailing the score correctly as I had Conard winning 51-47.  Cromwell/Morgan wins the bonus.
