Conference Tourney Pickem

Alright everyone, Mook showed how smart he is and wond the regular season. For a little fund between now and the Big Dance I am going to setup a conference tourney pickem. Each player will pick one team they think will win their respective conference tournament. Every game that team wins in their tournament will count for a point.

For example: if I pick OSU to win the Big10 and they win it all I get 3 pts. However, since they have a bye and only play 3 games, I would be limited to those 3 points. If someone were to take a dark horse (like Michigan) and they win, they would get 4 points. On the same note, if OSU loses in the finals, I would get 2 points, one each for their two wins.

Here are the conferences we will cover. I will get the available teams and seeds out as soon as they are ready.

Did you even consider scrolling up before posting that? That probably would've been a good move.

true story - I was on a flight from PHL to LAX with the Delaware State team back in November. They were headed out to play UCLA, I think. You ever seen a bunch of basketball players and coaches sit in coach for a six hour flight? Not cool.

No worries he doesn't even like the bucks, he grew up in Maine and only cares about DIII Bball and Hockey.

I would like to let everyone know that I'm not a stinkin' GD Bucknut. New England born and raised...hence the UConn #1 overall seed. Besides, if I were a Buckeye fan, would I have picked Iowa for Big Ten title?

Sorry skippy, but the whole "Dayton, OH" thing didn't exactly clue me in on the fact you're an east coaster.

There's always a few upsets in these. New Mexico winning the MWC (which I also picked) probably would be an even bigger upset.

Hey tough guy, have trouble following directions. The games have already started (12:00 EST) so I can't count your posts.

Nah, just kidding, you are in.
