Lost my 6 pointer already. Think I can go ahead and throw in the towel. This ain't my year to place top 3. Might as well shoot for last place at this point.
Came on after work and changed my Illinois pick.
Should've went with my gut.
My wallet would be happier as well

Good idea, you'll get the first pick in the draft.
I'm just taking @FaithPlusOne word for it.
Took UNC, Nova and Grand Canyon in a parlay.. dumbest $5 loss ever
That Grand Canyon crowd was rocking last night! They know how to support their team! Power schools may not want to schedule a game there. Asking for trouble.
I had them as my 6, didn't think there was any way Izzo was going to allow Wiscy to come into the Breslin and win.
Yeah, I recall someone saying they were a legit title threat, seems like Walker is the only dawg they have.
Don't look now but they are losing to Nebraska in the 2nd half.
I'd be careful here...This might not age so well. We have all seen this story, before.
And Sparty loses and is now 4-5.
I always wondered why they were ranked top 5 to start the year. They were just 21-13 last year and returned a lot but the frontcourt guys they were returning weren't good last year either. The freshman class was heralded but Booker clearly wasn't ready, Carr is a freak athlete but not a great basketball player yet and Jeremy Fears played a position they were already stacked at.
Love (and hate) Tyson Walker but he can't do it alone. Hoggard hasn't taken a step and they miss Joey Hauser's offense.

Oh I'm sure Izzo will turn it around, but the damage they are doing to themselves roght now, is creating a hole he won’t be able to dig out of. I don't think he has the dudes to do it.
I keep waiting on Hoggard and Hall to take off their skirts and play, but nope, they are playing like they're lost and I don't remember them being this soft.
Whst do they have, 5 losses already? Ouch.
Their biggest issue now is the B1G is a$$ this year outside of Purdue, Illinois and Wisky. Not a lot of Q1 opportunities on the horizon. It would behoove them to beat Baylor this week.
Had a lot going on these past few days. But, there aren't any meaningful games until Friday. Seriously, the highest rated Thrill Score matchup (KenPom), from now until Thursday, is Utah State at Santa Clara. So, didn't feel a sense of urgency either.

Congrats to @coryfly on winning Week 5 with a perfect score of 21! He moves from 11th to 5th place. Feel free to select a game this week. There really aren't any bigtime matchups until the weekend. That might save you a few minutes, if you're wanting to pick a game. I'll post the complete Pick'Em matchups tomorrow morning.
And the @ThePhog08 is now atop the leaderboard with 79 points. Quite a range in scores from Week 5 - 21 points all the way down to 2. Love to see it when we don't have uniform picks.

They've been disappointing, for sure. It does seem like this happens every other year. MSU loses a handful of games in the OOC season, we think they'll struggle to just make it the dance, they turn things around In February, and then suddenly in March they string together a few wins and make a deep run, once again.
MSU is ranked 355th in KenPom in the luck metric. Basically, if you were able to replay all the games again, the odds would be in their favor that they'd win 1-2 additional games. They've lost quite a few close ones, including a neutral court game against #1 Arizona in Calfiornia (pro-Arizona crowd). They were winning with 3 minutes left. The tide can turn ever so quickly in basketball. We've seen it time and time again.
Don't look now, boys-----But I'm coming----and I'm bringin hell with me...
Exactly----although, 4-5, 0-2 is well, woof. But, no chance I throw the towel in on these dudes.
I thought I had last place sewn up, but @della , @KisteK and @lurkeraspect84 (among others) folded like cheap lawn chairs.
Thanks for sucking worse than me.

Sometimes the smart play is the wrong play Jeff and I suffered for it. Obviously, since you rarely flirt with the smart play you have less to worry about.
They spell the word "wrong" differently down there in those Tennessee hollars I see.
Not afraid to lose to a pack of nobodys
Who's gonna believe you? 🤣🤣😭🤣

Jeff, wouldn't know smart if it grabbed you spun you around and then kicked you in your butt.
