As for strategy. I went high seeds last year and they all lost by the E8, so I mixed it up this year. High seeds with some guys who will light it up, hopefully, even if only for 1 or 2 games.

Then at the end I we t highest ppg available on a team I had winning round 1.

Also, then I'm don't talking to myself, anyone have the projections if seeds hold true? I know we ha thy last year from someone...I think goonx19

I'll have it in a minute.

My strategy was just to take players from teams I have going far. Until the later rounds then I just picked guys that I thought would get a bunch of points and play at least 2 games. The only pick of mine that I didn't like was in the 5th round haha. I panic between 2 guys on the same team and then just picked someone totally different lol.

Also if the seeds hold true I'm betting FatHobbit gets the win.

Projected totals, were the chalk to play out:


1. FatHobbit: 396 points
2. killer_ewok: 359 points
2. Iliketurtles: 359 points
4. sportchampps (no pay): 357 points
5. ccrunner609 (no Pay): 355 points

11. GOONx19: 312 points
12. Laley23: 304 points
13. NilesPacMan: 293 points
14. sportwizuhrd: 289 points
15. sasquatch: 281 points
16. Crimson streak (no Pay): 276 points
17. Big_Mirg_ZHS: 273 points
18. wildcats20: 251 points

Yeah, FatHobbit is a heavy favorite barring upsets.

Damn, nice work. And I know there will be plenty of upsets but I feel a little better about my picks for now. lol

God damn I need Nate Wolters to play 2 games. Lets go S. Dakota State!!!!

Yes, lets go SDSU just because...

Even though I don't have him, I'd love to see Wolters score 40 and have Michigan win.

my two guys right now are a combined 5-22. ouchie

Nix is having a good game for Turtles

Broekhoff -8 fucking points

Turtles already has 65 points, 23 points over their averages, only down one man.

Yeah Nix just beasted Valpo. My team is starting off good but this thing is a marathon not a sprint .

Has anyone found a good site to pull stats from? Preferably to just copy and paste into an excel spreadsheet

Double check your points, I might have missed something. Players in bold have games in progress.

Goon I have the same as you. Also I've been waiting for you to notice but you're missing a bracket to underline my name lol.

Derrick Marks had 67 points in the loss last night. Thanks.
