CollegeHoops.net Top 144 countdown

[Chucky T's]

I haven't see Jose either posting or lurking since we moved to the new board.
This will end up being one of the longest, drawn out pick-ems we've ever done, so I hope I can track down whoever wins!

No problem T.....I'll be right here!!

[Dubl R 1]

OH NO! I think I've been eliminated from the pickem.

[tornado]

Tough break Dubl R but we plan to have a whole lot more pick-ems once the season starts,
and the prizes should be pretty good.

There are only 28 guessers whose picks have yet to be eliminated, and in all actuality,
I think at least 4 or 5 of them are simply not going to win, so I am thinking we are geting down
to the final 20 or so picks to be eliminated.

I'm liking my #63 pick more and more! Hope this is a whopper of a prize.

Shockers are #64 (4th in the MVC)

LSU is #63

So Bradley is Top 3 or Bottom 2 according to these guys.

124 Indy St
109 ISU
93 Mo St
76 UNI
64 Wich St

I'd guess Bradley in the 50's, Creighton in the 40's and SIU already named 34th.

[MacabreMob]

I'd guess Bradley in the 50's, Creighton in the 40's and SIU already named 34th.

Then again... was looking back at the Top 40 already mentioned and realizing at the bottom of the list is the next 10 in alpha order... no Creighton (or BU). So I guess BU and Creighton will be in the 50 to 62 range.

--added comments--

This all makes sense really. The "Mouthpieces" (aka "Crackpipes") don't think much of the MVC, so 1 team in the Top 40 with 2 more on the fringe far enough out to be considered locks for the NIT is par for the course.

1 bid league baby - whoohoo.

#62 California Bears

#61 West Virginia Mountaineers

http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/new/story/2007_08_west_virginia_basketball_preview41083

[tornado]

Thanks, IHBU, their prediction of Bob Huggins' Mountaineers is pretty bold given
that it's his first year with a bunch of kids he didn't recruit, given that they concede there will be a "vastly different style of play".
They are classifying (see last paragraph) Joe Alexander (10ppg last year) as a "superstar",
but in the end, 9th in the Big East and NIT.



BTW-- in our collegehoopsnet Pick-em of where they are going to pick Bradley,
there are ONLY 22 remaining entries with a chance to win, so we are getting close
..................actually I think Jose Cuervo is not going to win, so the odds are even better.

Whatever people say about Huggins, one thing is for sure, that he is one heck of a coach and recruiter. I met a player of his from K State on a plane in March and he told me all the players would run through a brick wall for him. Look what he did for K State in a short time period. UWV does have some players coming back.
