With UAB's win over VCU Boaris becomes the first player to have all 8 of his teams earn wins over other players teams. woo hoo for Boaris. (makes up for that Tennessee crash and K-State crumble (bummer about the suspensions).

St. Johns over Northwestern WOO HOO! And Babblemur goes 6-0 on Tuesday for 14 points!

Here's food for thought:

This is a squad made up of un-drafted teams:

#1. Cincinnati (11-0) with wins over Dayton, Wright St, and Miami (OH) = 17 points.

#2. Iowa State (11-2) with wins over Creighton and Iowa = 15 points

#3. TCU (8-4) with wins over Bradford, USC, and Texas Tech = 14 points

#4. Virginia (8-3) with wins over Minnesota, Virginia Tech, and Oregon = 14 points

#5. Providence (11-2) wins over Morgan St, Rhode Ilsnad and Alabama = 17 points

#6. Nebraska (10-2) wins over USC and Creighton = 14 points

#7. Central Florida (10-0) with wins over Florida and Miami = 14 points

#8. Portland (9-3) with wins over Santa Barbara and St. Louis = 13 points.

A ghost player with these 8 teams would be in second place with 118 points. Hind sight is 20/20.

When's the additional draft, anyway?

Oakland's schedule is just brutal for a minor conference team: West Virginia, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan State, Tennessee, Ohio State. Your welcome for giving you all those points.

Oakland is paying off for you man.

Babs, there is a reason those teams went undrafted......although I will admit, there is one gem in that group, which one it is, I won't say,

Christmas Eve Tournament in Cancun - Southern Miss (Akaoni) plays a surprisingly good Colorado State for the 3 point Tournament championship.

Christmas Day Tournament in Hawaii - Butler (Akaoni) takes on red hot Washington St (CEO) for the 4 point Tournament championship.

Colorado State over Southern Miss - FAL (Fuck Akaoni's Life)

Ouch for Mississippi State and Jaybird, two main big men suspended indefinitely:

"Hawaii over short-handed Mississippi State 68-57 in the fifth-place game of the Diamond Head Classic on Saturday, the first game for the Bulldogs since they suspended two players for fighting in the stands.

The Warriors (9-3) controlled the inside and the game with the Bulldogs' top big men Renardo Sidney and Elgin Bailey suspended indefinitely.

Sidney and Bailey were involved in a fistfight after the Bulldogs' game Thursday night. The altercation, captured by cameras, lasted for several minutes before being broken up by teammates and coaches."

Akaoni wins the Hawaii Diamond Head with Butler, redeeming that pick, plus wins the consolation game for 10 points on Christmas, nicely done.

I'll take it, but my team still stinks. When's the supplimental draft?

Last week of January.

As you all know, losing a preseason first team all conference player for a long period hurts - especially in the big east when your team is Seton Hall.

However, I'd live to invoke the +15 point "shot on Cmas" point distribution to make up for the loss:

I want to thank Washington State for laying down in the second half and not giving me the 7 pt Christmas present I needed. Hoping that they learned something like they did from their last loss and can carry that into the Pac-10 season.

The CEO's other rants of early 2010 hoops:

Tenn what's up, Bruce Pearl can always motivate for the big game, but the three losses, really, and lucky Belmont didn't get you too!!!

Miss State, great job of fighting to get Renardo Sidney eligible, please do the right thing now and say goodbye.

Duke, looking good, but I think they have two losses if Irving hadn't played when he did, they are vulnerable

Butler looked dead early, but honestly, that team can D up, and I have to give Stevens credit as a coach, he did the same thing last year against UTEP in the NCAA's (please note I had Butler getting beat and they were down 8 at half, but came out on like a 30-4 run to open the second half, game, set, match.....)

PAC-10, better than people think, I've been most impressed with USC, beating Texas, pushing Kansas to the limit, and then getting Tenn, two very nice quality wins for this team, and some solid talent as well. Arizona, Washington, and Washington St also look solid, UCLA is in trouble again.

Big 10 looks suddenly looks like a one horse race, with Ohio St pushing ahead of the pack. I wouldn't worry if I had Mich St, they played like this last year too, but when it counted played their best ball, that's Izzo. Biggest surprise here to me is Michigan, they are playing some solid ball, and suddenly, it looks like every game will be tough, sorry Iowa, with Michigan looking solid early, you may be the doormat here.

Big 12 looking real good, Jut may have made a pick with UNC that won't work out, but the Texas pick is looking like it will payoff nicely. Throw in Kansas, Kansas St, Missouri, Texas A&M, and suddenly struggling Baylor, and this conf looks like a legit title contender, but definitely a split between the top strong haves and the rest of the conf have nots.

Then there is the SEC????? This conf has more question marks than any. I'd say Tenn has the best combo of talent and experience, Kentucky probably the most talent, Florida the most experience, and Vandy a solid mix. Arkansas is also showing some of the promise they had last year and started using late in the year. My projection is this one comes down to the last week, and whoever can get a quality win or two on the road and avoid will take this down.

ACC - Duke, Duke Duke, what were you all thinking drafting up all of those teams, although BC and Florida St have definitely given a nice boost.

Big East - Very very strong, and surprisingly strong. This, as the last few years, will be a war. I'm very much interested in seeing if Cincy can leverage their early season success against weak teams into some conf success, can UConn continue their early season push, and will Pitt live up to their expectations. Along the way Louisville has surprised me.

Mountain West, look out, some good teams here, my question is, will any win an NCAA game? I think San Diego St has the right mix of talent, inside play, and point guard leadership to get it done, and the current ranking to get a real nice 2, 3, or 4 seed to set them up well. BYU would need to get into that seed level to have a chance, but given the right matchup, Fredette could shoot them into the second round.

That's all, everyone have a solid close to 2010, and a happy and prosperous new year in 2011.

Babs,

Two corrections, Wofford is in the VCU invitational, not the cable car classic (The Spreadsheet is correct), also, USC is a head to head game for Washington St, you have it correct for USC, but not in the Wazu line.

Nice recap, and thanks for the corrections.
