This is a pick-em for the very first EXHIBITION GAME ...
vs. Wisconsin-Parkside on November 1
Rules - same as pick-ems in the past with a few exceptions..
-First - name the five BU players who will be the starters in the first exhibition game
NOTE ** in the past FIVE seasons that we've had pick-ems for the starting lineups, only ONCE has anyone ever gotten them right!
4 of the past 5 years NOBODY got it right - and the reasons include injuries, unexpected starters, the unanticipated 4-guard offense, TB's being sidelined, etc...
-I know it is a slow time of the year, but that gives those who get their guesses up now a distinct advantage since one of the tiebreakers will be whoever got their selection for starters posted the earliest.
-You must name 5 players who are on the roster, anyone who names 4 or 6 (as some have in past years, believe it or not) or who names someone who is NOT on the roster will not be considered.
-THE PRIZE as in years gone by will be a really FREE gift certificate for a popular local restaurant!!
-Deadline for guesses will be midnight October 14, as once basketball practice starts, then some with inside connections might have an advantage.....so no guesses after 10/14...
We will have a first tiebreaker that anyone can still win on -- so that even people who guess later
and want to name a 5-man stating lineup that someone else has already picked, can still win!
*****THE FIRST TIEBREAKER is to guess the attendance of this first exhibition.
This game is at Renaissance Coliseum, but even in the very best days of Bradley basketball -- the exhibitions that were not part of the season ticket package never sold more than 3500 tickets.....so guess away...
The 2nd tiebreaker will be whoever had their starting lineup posted first!!
Here are my guesses...
TB, DSE, JP, Donivine, Nate Wells (newcomers are eligible to play in exhibitions and retain their redshirt status)
..and 3221
