2023-24 Pick'Em, Final Standings!!

I wonder if there's ever been a team that went winless in conference and then won a game in the conf tourney vs a team they had been blown out by 40+ points in both previous meetings.

Haha I see where you're going. And I seriously doubt that scenario has ever occurred before.

But, why are you saying both games were 40+? Looks like 25 and 36 to me.

oh you're right. On the TV they showed a graphic and either it was wrong or I can't add cause I thought the combined total was 82 points lol. They still lost by a combined 61 points in 2 games which is still ridiculous.

Congrats to @Demarcus Kidd-Miller on winning week 19 with a perfect score of 21! Great scores across the board. @AWilli6995 remains in the lead, but the difference between the top 5 posters is separated by only 2 points.

Round of 64 games will be posted soon, hopefully Sunday evening. Expect some combination of play-in games, 8/9 matchups, and 7/10 matchups. Going to be a wild finish!

15 looks right to me.

Week 19 Games
Wednesday: Oklahoma vs TCU (Kansas City, MO) 2
Wednesday: Xavier vs Butler (New York, NY) 6
Wednesday: USC vs Washington (Las Vegas, NV) 5
Thursday: Ohio State vs Iowa (Minneapolis, MN) 3
Thursday: San Diego State vs UNLV (Las Vegas, NV) 1
Thursday: Seton Hall vs St. John's (New York, NY) 4

You missed Washington and UNLV. That's 6 points. 21 - 6 = 15
 
Alright, here are the Pick'Em matchups. And don't forget to include your bonus picks!

Week 20 Games
Wednesday: Colorado vs Boise State (Dayton, OH)
Thursday: Nevada vs Dayton (Salt Lake City, UT)
Thursday: Michigan State vs Mississippi State (Charlotte, NC)
Thursday: Drake vs Washington State (Omaha, NE)
Friday: Northwestern vs FAU (Brooklyn, NY)
Friday: Texas A&M vs Nebraska (Memphis, TN)

BONUS POINTS!!
Pick One Underdog that will win - and one higher seed that will lose. And feel free to put both eggs in the same basket. Last year, had you picked FDU to win and Purdue to lose, then you would have earned 16 points. Two years ago, had you picked Saint Peter's to win and Kentucky to lose, you would have earned 14 points. But, I suspect most will diversify their two picks.

Just FTR, Michigan State vs Mississippi State in the Round of 64 means you need to spell out the school you're picking. "MSU" obviously isn't sufficient in this case.

I just want you to know that I was already picking Tennessee to be upset before seeing this, but now I'm putting a curse on them. May their children's children be born Kentucky fans.

and to think, I thought we were becoming so close? Why would you choose to put that hex on such a pure and noble force for good in CBB?

BTw, the only one getting upset will be you when you realize you squandered an opportunity to pick up some points.

Many of you know that my wife is Cherokee and that's where she and I reside. So, kind of cool when Shaq gives a shout-out to the hometown school.

It's a small town, so we play mostly other small schools. Not exactly the best competition. Their average margin of victory this season was 48.6 ppg lol. 74-32 in the state title game.
