7express....will go with whatever you go with my friend on bonus1.  Since I do NOT follow local HS BB, your guess will be bette than mine.  Your pick will override Warriorcats' on Bonus 1.  Basically it is a probilibity analysis pick.  As a story in today's WSJ on the SuperBowl, the Falcons should have won going into the 4th quarter based on math....over 98 percent probability to win the game.  Falcons should have NOT been so aggressive on offense....needed to slow the game down and waste time.

There is no Glory in 3rd place - I need to make up 5 games on WarriorKitty.  My picks will be designed so that he will not be able to play it safe and copy mine and thus assure victory (at least over me).............

Western Connecticut (12-8, 4-6) @ Keene State (14-7, 7-3) 7:30 PM
Note: The Plymouth/Newbury game from week 10 got pushed back to this week on Thursday, February 9.  I assume everyone will stick with the same Plymouth pick, so I'll score that game in this week.  You have until 7 PM on Thursday, the 9th if you want to switch from Plymouth to Newbury.

Bonus worth 1 question, and remember no penalty for not picking and or picking and getting it wrong:
Bonus 3 (locks at 3 PM on the 11th).  What will be the higher total?  Combined winning margin of the 4 winning teams on Saturday (i.e 3 point win + 4 point win +5 point win + 10 point win equals a combined winning margin of 22) vs. combined 3 pointers ATTEMPTED of the LOSING teams on Saturday
ADDED: Bonus 4 (locks at 1 PM on the 11th).  Will Eastern Connecticut have the #1 seed wrapped up on the women's side at the conclusion of play Saturday?  Yes vs. No.  A 2-0 week for the Eastern women (same schedule as the Eastern men; home vs. Western, @ Dartmouth) gets Eastern the 1 seed.  Any other result (0-2/1-1) brings the race to the final week.
