Weekend Watch

The leader board is getting shaken up like a magic 8-ball every night now, with "outlook cloudy" the most common answer.
  • Gunz - undefeated, including Virginia Commonwealth knocking Wake out of the NIT and Bradley sticking it to Loyola Marymount.
  • The CEO rockets out of the cellar with three teams advancing to the second rounds of tournaments this week.
  • Jutdog finally winning important games as Texas overthrows Illinois and BYU out-weds Utah State.
  • Musashisan struggles as the underdog, waits for Michigan State to come alive in Maui next week.
  • Akaoni can't win a game against another player.
  • Babblemur can't either, unless it is San Diego State versus (fill in the blank).

Minnesota shocks North Carolina! That will put Minnesota (CEO) vs. West Virginia (Slake) in the championship for Puerto Rico.

In the Charleston Classic we have Georgetown (Gunz) vs. NC State (SGII).

Both games are on Sunday.

I would like to thank the USA Today Basketball Preview for always mentioning when a team has a SR. Backcourt. Reason for the Bradley pick.

I was afraid Wisco-UNLV was going to be my first loss today....21 in a row, w/ 9 head to head wins, not too bad of a start. We got the L out of the way to start another winning streak tomorrow.

It is a very good start, Gunz. What scares me is that on top of a good lead you have Duke, which has yet to really start playing, and will be a likely final 4 contender. ~Babs
