Game 5 Results & Season To Date Standings 2014-15 MVC Pick Em Game Contest

[AZ BU Fan]

AZ BU's back is back with a little help from his live in nurse assistant "Olga"



My back is doing much better, but, boy, am I tired!

Game 5 in the MVC Wednesday night was a barnburner!



Three close games which could have gone either way, and altered
the contest season to date results!

ISUB 71 ... ISUR 70
Loyola 50 .. DU 47
EU 56 ....... MSU 54

With all this Jan madness, pauly616 remains as hot as Tornado was
when JL was let go! Back to back games 5-5! Awesome.

NOTE: Attny General Holder will immediately conduct a thorough audit of pauly616's picks looking for any improprieties, and,
the IRS will be looking over pauly616's past tax returns for any history of cheating!

Just wait till the NCAA infractions committee gets through with him!

Joining pauly616 going 5-5 are bigjimmy, and, GoBUBraves98
Well done by them.

Overall, everyone had a great time picking Game 5 winners.

The Penny is finally flipping out with his best showing of the regular season with 4 out of 5 correct picks for Game 5!

Don't Forget Your Game 6 Picks Need To Be Posted By

I don't know enough to participate but I appreciate your efforts in doing it.

[AZ BU Fan]

Come on and join us!

Thanks Long Time Fan!

I have a lot of fun with this each year, and, being retired, have lots of time!

Pretty simple contest. For each of the 18 MVC regular season games, participants are asked to pick the outright winners of each of the 5 games in the Missouri Valley.

I post a thread with the particular game matchups a couple of days before the games, and participants post their picks for the winners in response.

Participants have to post their picks for game winners 15 minutes before the start of the first game.

After the games are over, I post another thread updating the results of how many of the 5 games participants picked correctly, and, their season to date totals of correctly picking winners.

Since it is my contest, I do not 'formally' play. My alter ego, the fictional "PENNY", choses game winners by me flipping a penny. Heads THE PENNY predicts the home team to win, Tails THE PENNY predicts the visiting team to win.

I actually keep track of 3 separate contests, the winner picking the most of the first 9 regular season MVC games correctly, the winner picking the most of the last 9 regular season MVC games correctly, and the winner who picks the most of the of the overall 18 game MVC regular season games correctly.

There are a total of 90 MVC Regular Season games each year (10 Teams play in 18 games). Past winners have correctly picked the winners of 65-75 of the 90 games.

Feel free to jump in the contest at any time. You have as good a chance as anyone to win the last 9 regular season MVC game contest!

Just something to do until Bradley competes for MVC Titles and NCAA Tourney births again.
