[basketball nut]

Play-in: UNI, MO State
Quarters: UNI, BU, MO ST, Illinois State
Semis: BU, Illinois State
Champion: BU

Tiebreaker: Final game score: BU 75, Illinois State 70.

Thought I would be gutsy and take a couple of upsets since most so far were going w/ the top 4 teams which probably will happen but no guarantees this year.

[BU212121]

Play-in: UNI over Evansville, MISSOURI STATE over valpo.

Quarters: loyola, Bradley, SIU, ISU

Semis: Loyola, ISU

Championship: ISU

67-66

Last hour to enter, so I thought I'd move this up a final time.

And MacabreMob, I'll assume the ISU you picked for the Friday game between Indiana State and Illinois State is the Redbirds unless I hear differently.

Plus, Braves2006 and pfcmsh you haven't picked a championship game score for a possible tiebreaker.

Let the madness begin! Go BRAVES!

Going to be a fun 4 days. As defending champion of the pick em contest it would have been a little embarrassing to not make any picks. Thank you Landry??™s for the slow service. Here goes:

Thursday: NOT BU BABY!
Valpo over MSU. Unless Alize Johnson goes off for 30 Valpo should end the Bears misery
UNI over Evansville. The Panthers in a close one

Friday:
Loyola too much for UNI
Drake over BU. 🤭. We leave 3 point shooters too open way too often and that??™s what the Bulldogs love
SIU over Valpo. The Salukis bounce back from their drupping in their last game
ISU Red over ISU Blue. Redbirds too talented


Saturday:
Loyola over Drake. Just a little bit better in everything
ISY Red over SIU. Flip a coin

Sunday:
Loyola over ISU Red. This this game will be close but the Ramblers are on a roll and will cap it with a MVC tournament championship

[Braves2006]

Thursday
Northern Iowa
Missouri State

Friday
Loyola
Drake (hope I??™m wrong)
Southern Illinois
Illinois State

Saturday
Loyola
Southern Illinois

Champs: Loyola

Forgot the final score on Sunday: LU 79 SIU 63

Standings after quarterfinals -- five with perfect brackets!

While four teams, including our Braves, are heading into tomorrow's semifinals, FIVE Bradley fans head into Saturday with perfect brackets after the first six Arch Madness contests!

Here are the results after the quarterfinals.

10 POINTS: Duane82, pfcmsh, BU212121, MacabreMob, BUSongwriter

9 POINTS: luckydog

8 POINTS: Da Coach, Bradleyfan1, BRAVES2006

7 POINTS: Pauly616, lightsout, BUfan39, wily coyote, bigjimmy

6 POINTS: basketball nut

Will Bradley take another step closer to the Big Dance tomorrow? Will our bracket contest come down to the tiebreaker? And whatever happened to THE PENNY?

Stay tuned!

Thanks BUSongwriter!
It's crunch time as the semifinal and final games are worth more points.

Three are still perfect!

Three BradleyFans bracketologists remain perfect heading into the finals of our Arch Madness pick 'em contest!

Here are the updated standings after Saturday's games -- with one result we all wish was different.

16 POINTS: Duane82 and BU212121 (both have picked ISU-Red to win the title) as well as BUSongwriter (who picked Loyola)

14 POINTS: Da Coach

13 POINTS: wily coyote, MacabreMob, bigjimmy

12 POINTS: luckydog

11 POINTS: Bradleyfan1, BRAVES2006

10 POINTS: PAULY616, lightsout, pfcmsh

9 POINTS: basketball nut

7 POINTS: BUfan39

Somebody's going to win with a perfect bracket. If ISU wins tomorrow, the contest will come down to the tiebreaker, and that will be close. Duane82 picked ISU by a score of 65-64 while BU212121 picked ISU by a score of 67-66. If Loyola wins, I'll be accused of rigging the contest!
