NCAA Pick 5 - 2013 edition - Page 2

mauchow · 03-21-2013, 02:56 PM

Four St Mary's picks in jeopardy.

Marmel · 03-21-2013, 03:27 PM

I am minutes away from losing 3 teams already!

mauchow · 03-21-2013, 09:38 PM

2 points today, bitches!

Butter · 03-22-2013, 06:51 AM

Standings after Day 1... can't get a table to format properly, so I guess we're going with a picture:

mauchow · 03-22-2013, 07:03 AM

I have 4 left.

Butter · 03-22-2013, 07:04 AM

Indeed, you pulled the stealth edit on me yesterday.

Thanks.

wade moore · 03-22-2013, 08:49 AM

I need Minnesota to win to have a chance.

muns · 03-22-2013, 08:52 AM

New Mexico killed me. I really thought that they were gonna have a decent shot at making some noise this year

Maybe try the {code} {/code} ?

I think that has helped me with posting tables.

Replace the { } with [ ] of course.

I have two brackets, and New Mexico was an Elite 8 team in one of them. They would have almost certainly been a choice for me in this game except I happened to use the other bracket when I was looking for candidates. And in the other bracket, I had them losing to Arizona in the Round of 32.

Muahahahahahahaha! I'll still lose, though.

britrock88 · 03-22-2013, 11:35 PM

WTG, Karl!

mauchow · 03-23-2013, 07:26 AM

We'll need a lot of help now to win this thing. Basically the only way for me to win is if Creighton and Florida make it to the finals..and I'm not even sure that would win it for me.

muns · 03-23-2013, 07:52 AM

and I bow out pretty early once again

Julio Riddols · 03-23-2013, 01:15 PM

Solid round for us, all 5 still alive.

Butter · 03-23-2013, 01:54 PM

Standings after Day 2, and the VCU-Michigan game of Round 3:

wade moore · 03-23-2013, 03:24 PM

VCU losing is going to hurt me in all FOFC games.

Butter · 03-24-2013, 01:07 PM

Updated standings after Day 3:

kingfc22 · 03-24-2013, 01:16 PM

I'm screwed.

St. Louis and New Mexico doomed my chances.

Chief Rum · 03-24-2013, 02:22 PM

Well below the middle of the pack with two teams left?

Welcome to Suck, Chief. Population: you.

Fgcu just needs to win the whole damn thing now

I honestly don't care about any of my games I'm participating in. I want them to win always.

Butter · 03-25-2013, 06:24 AM

Standings after the first 4 days of action... we have a few clear contenders:

GOD DAMN IT.

mauchow · 03-25-2013, 06:57 AM

At least I won't be last.

Coffee Warlord · 03-25-2013, 07:50 AM

From first to probably last this year. Eesh.

Arles · 03-25-2013, 09:21 PM

Kicking myself for not going with Arizona over Butler. Was one of those two - but I thought I'd jinx Arizona if I picked them (which very well may have happened

).

Butter · 03-27-2013, 01:54 PM

I'm going to be out of the country for like 6 days starting Friday morning onwards, so I won't be able to update any of the scores until I get back the following Thursday.

If anyone wants to take a crack at the spreadsheet while I'm gone, the one in Google docs is updated. Or you can just all wait in suspense until my return... usually things clear way up by the time the Final 4 rolls around.

Butter · 04-07-2013, 06:56 PM

Well, it's pretty simple... if Michigan wins, korme wins. If Louisville wins, Lathum wins.

Good luck, gentlemen.

I forgot to mark Indiana as out, so that's why it shows the discrepancy in some folks' "Teams Left" below.

britrock88 · 04-07-2013, 07:36 PM

Interesting that Lathum has both finalists among his five. And 4th place for me is way better than wherever I finished last year!

...go korme!

Butter · 04-09-2013, 06:27 AM

Lathum takes it down with a game record 101 points. Picking 2 Final 4 participants, one of whom was a 4 seed, a 12 seed that got to the Sweet 16, and an Elite 8 participant will get you quite far, clearly.

Well done, sir! Congrats!

Butter · 04-09-2013, 06:28 AM

Meanwhile, Coffee Warlord completes his first-to-worst transformation thanks largely to Michigan. Sorry, CW!

Lathum · 04-09-2013, 07:09 AM

And I had Wisconsin go out early.

If only my money brackets were as good. Ah well, thanks for running the game!

Thanks for running it again this year guys. It is always fun.

Vince, Pt. II · 04-09-2013, 09:50 AM

Congrats Lathum. So close and yet so far in both contests this year.
