Hey Marm, can we get this finished up fairly quickly? I'm going out of town for a week starting Monday and I don't want to have to forfeit this contest to Grid Iron.

Go Bruins

In our second matchup, the 94-95 UCLA Bruins take on the 88-89 Michigan Wolverines.

UCLA only got 3 points from their team outside of their top 6 scorers. The lack of any depth killed them in this game, and down the stretch, Michigan took control and won this game 96-87.

Glen Rice was a scoring machine, dropping in 26 points on 10 for 17 shooting. Rumeal Robinson added 18 for the Wolverines. Loy Vaught added 16 and had 9 rebounds on the day. Terry Mills and Sean Higgins each scored in double figures.

For the Bruins, Tyus Edney was on fire, scoring 21 and handing out 12 assists. Ed O’Bannon had 16 points and 9 rebounds. Charles O’Bannon, Toby Bailey and George Zidek each scored a dozen in the losing cause.

Marmel · 03-16-2003, 01:15 PM

All 5 participants got 1 of the final 2 team correct, so the scores, with 1 round to go are as follows:

Jeeber 54
Grid 50
Radii 44
Colt 42
Splits 37

The last pick is worth 4 points, so Jeeber has clinched at least a tie!

Get your picks in ASAP, and when I have them all I will do this...probably tuesday or wednesday at the latest though.

JeeberD · 03-16-2003, 02:29 PM

Sweet, I can't do any worst than first. And don't worry, Grid Iron, you won't catch me for the tie...

Grid Iron · 03-16-2003, 10:43 PM

To stay alive, I need to pick the winner, and Jeeber needs to pick the loser. How do I do that?

1) pick the favorite in the hope that Jeeber will select the underdog?

or

2) pick the underdog with the expectation that Jeeber will pick the favorite?

Decisions, decisions. . .

JeeberD · 03-16-2003, 11:15 PM

So, who do you consider to be the favorite? That would seem to be a tough decision in itself...

Grid Iron · 03-17-2003, 12:08 AM

Oklahoma is the favorite . . . or is it Michigan?

JeeberD · 03-17-2003, 12:19 AM

Damn, you saw right through my dastardly scheme...

My pick's already sent, so the pressure is all on you...

So is mine.

Marmel · 03-17-2003, 09:43 AM

I just checked out both of your picks. Very interesting!

ColtCrazy · 03-18-2003, 09:04 AM

Considering I'm out of it because I forgot a round (oops), my pick needs not be a secret. I'm going with Michigan, a team I actually saw in person that year at the Southeast regional. That team had talent, but Rice was simply a one man show during those two days.

Marmel · 03-18-2003, 10:23 PM

Sorry for the slight delay.

I will get the finals done tomorrow!

Marmel · 03-18-2003, 10:24 PM

Hey Colt, you may have missed a round, but you still finished better than splits, and he did not miss a round! Heh.

Sorry splits.

JeeberD · 03-22-2003, 05:56 PM

And the winner is......

Thanks to all for making this an enjoyable tournament.

Sorry I was a slacker getting this final round done.

Grid Iron · 03-22-2003, 06:43 PM

Marmel - This was an awesome thread, and especially great given that March Madness is now going on. Great job!

JeeberD - Congrats! You should have picked Michigan!

JeeberD · 03-22-2003, 07:01 PM

WooHoo!!

Great dynstasy, Marm. I had a great time following it. I hope that you decide to do something like this again soon...

Grid- That last round reminded me of that scene in "The Princess Bride" in which the bald dude was trying to figure out which glass of wine was poisoned. Lotsa fun...

Marmel · 03-22-2003, 07:23 PM

Jeeb, I thought of that exact same scene when you guys were talking about it.

Any ideas for another similar dynasty?

ColtCrazy · 03-23-2003, 11:26 AM

Great job Marmel, one of the few dynasties I read every word of.

Marmel · 03-23-2003, 06:14 PM

Thanks a lot Colt!
