Still have not heard from RollBrowns. I am going to put him in the draft order, but we may be skipping him and going with 8 this year.

I did yes. First page is updated with payments. 


RollBrowns appears out (he denied my venmo request). But wiz has someone in, and maybe a 2nd.

In order to be fair, I may redo it. Initial plan was a new person would take RollBrowns spot, but getting 2 more…


We will know for sure Saturday on wiz guy.

Draft order is set. We will use the other thread for drafting players / draft discussion.

Swain was so passive. Almost a disaster ending for Texas, and in turn me. But they live to fight another day. 2 awesome games last night to kick it all off.

Last nights game were awesome. Hopefully Miami gives us something to watch tonight. I’ll take SMU by 4

I could’ve sworn I drafted Darrion Williams from NC State. I must’ve had his tab open forever and was confident they should beat Texas. Pleasantly surprised to just learn I did not, even though his 21 will undoubtedly be more than I get from the Kentucky guys in their first round exit.

LOL. I was surprised he didnt get drafted, but I had Texas winning that game so stayed away. Naturally, Miami (OH) just shit all over my SMU pick of 3 games. Pierre, Jr. got me 19 -- but 1 and done is not ideal.

Thru play-in games:



As usual, sportchampps has the lowest average true seed at 7.6. Terry I feel went lower seeded teams this year, for an average of 9.3. The rest of us like the higher seeds more, led by Mirgs true seed average of 23.8.


Season average points was pretty even this year. 10.8  (Terry) lowest, and 16.4 (TO) highest.

These are all off. Realized I was counting DUKE for 7 games, as I had typed them into the champion portion of the bracket. Which added them being counted a 7th time. So anyone with a Duke player, take their PPG average off of the projected results 1x and you will have the right number. Will be updated after the afternoon games anyway.

Woof. Wisconsin blowing (albeit very early) 14 point lead. I was hoping Blackwell would get me 3 games, but knew High Point was a potential upset.

Your projections also fail to account for Brant Byers x 7 games

Lol. They will account for games played plus his next one, so long as they keep winning!

These should be accurate. Ignore Brutus auto-populating everyone (those not playing) in spots 10/11/12. Also ignore the formula (#N/A) that cannot be completed because those guys do not have any players drafted or scored (again, those not playing).


NOTE: sportchampps and wiz both have 100 pts. sportchampps gets both spots since he's listed first in the excel.
