I'm sticking with my 17-13; plenty of bad shit can befall the other teams we play.

None. It was always 30. It could have been 31 but they didn't schedule a 31st game after BC bailed out of the Boston Garden tripleheader.


My season prediction.

15-15
1-1 in the A10 tourney
Then wouldn't be surprised if they accept an invitation to a lower level post season tourney for the experience. The turned one down last year because the expectations were higher.

Thread No more updates accepted. I have a really busy week so I will tabulate on Thursday - but I am printed a hard copy so nobody can change their picks now. :shock:

Sneaky! Maybe at the end of the season, those who can make it can treat you to wings at The Hanger and and watch you present me my prize?

Baseline at the bottom with 8 wins, Fridgidevil at the top with 20. Top vote getters were 15 and 17.

Actual Hi (best) Low (worst) Avg

Wins 20 8 15
Conf Wins 11 3 8
Lead Scorer Clark
Lead Rebounder Space
# > 10ppg 5 1 3
Avg Home Att. 8000 3100 4832
Team PPG 78.0 64.0 71.1
Team PAPG 75.0 61.0 70.8
20+ pt wins 6.0 0.0 3.3
20+pt losses 5.0 1.0 2.4
High Scorer Clark (this was who would score the most points ion one game - not season)
High (Player) Points one game 32 26 29.4
High (team) points one game 103 78 89.4
Low (team) points one game 62 48 55.0
High AP Rank NONE
High Coaches Rank NONE
Post Season (seed/round advanced to) CBI

OBSERVATIONS:
- While IV's perfect season is still alive - the consensus average of 15 seems about right from the overall mood of the board
- Attendance was all over the board - the average still seems a bit high based on the first 2 homers for sure
- The leading rebounder is a per game average so this could still be taken by Space who was the most popular pick
