| Thanks. I tried to find games that looked like they would be competitive. Hopefully I don't fall on my face in the next 10.

I was 5-5 at the half. Looks like 12-8 for the week, which passable. Much better than last week's abomination.

Northwestern State is NW Louisiana. Northwestern State University of Louisiana, to be precise.

I chose games that should be close, regardless of importance in the standings.

I never know until Cal posts the results. Sometimes I do better than I thought, and sometimes worse. Sometimes I look up specific games. Especially hate losing those OT games! Like maybe we should get a 1/2 point for those.

Thanks pilight for picking the games. Your slate will probably make people complain less about mine. Seriously two games each for Fairfield and Marshal.. Good job.

My original plan was 32 games, one from each conference, but that was too much

Week 12 was won by Myrtle* with 14, her first win of the season. After the players only picked 47% in the first half of the games, they rebounded with 75% in the second half. No games were correctly picked by just 1 player. Dinkytown picked both Arizona St (over Oregon St) and Richmond (over LaSalle. Only Howee (ASU) and Lynxmania(Richmond) got those games right This was also the sixth straight week where the winner had 14 correct.
She also picked the games. Make what you want of that.

Dude. I just realized you omitted the UConn/L'ville game....:shock: On purpose, or oversight? Just curious.... |
You want to ask a question like that the week before you are picking the games. Just wait for the second guessing on your choices.
:lol: :lol:

Her picks (and their consequent outcomes) have induced cardio arrhythmias, panic attacks and general malaise in me. And I know that's her Big Plan
