Ugly Saturday

A Recap (and new thread) of our Saturday:

Mad Mader (5-0) +13
Babblemur (4-1) +12
McGrumps (6-2) +8
Jutdog (5-2) +7
Gunz (3-1) +7
Musashisan (3-3) +7

January 8th is also the birthday of David Bowie and Elvis Presley, both of whom I appreciate and love very much. Therefore the video below kind of sucks, but isn't far off of accurate.

McGrumps became the first player to have all 8 teams win 10 games or more. Not a small feat when you look at other squads. I argued in the beginning that he had the greatest parity among his teams.

Guess what team is the highest scoring 7th round pick?

Missouri State (Akaoni)

Unfortunately, that's not good enough to make up for bad picks rounds 1-4...

Let's check-in on the CEO's previous week rants:

If not GUNZ, then who.....

Well, hey said McGrumps and Bab's, wow, did you see the move Bab's made, the CEO was certainly not surprised as he continues his rise toward the top.

Final Four: Duke, Texas, Pitt, Ohio St:

Duke continues to look solid, surviving a better than expected Maryland team, Texas lost a game they should have won against UConn, I'll bet Hamilton wants that breakaway layup in the last minute where he didn't even hit rim back. Still working some kinks out here. Pitt, no change, still looking good, and Ohio St measured up to the frontline test of Minnesota, I'm starting to become a believer.

"Is any conference more messed up than the SEC?": I offer you Arkansas over Tennessee, Georgia over Kentucky, and South Carolina over Vandy as exhibits 1, 2 and 3 this will certainly play out very interestingly.

Big game this week for me, Minnesota has been in every tough game (at Ohio St, at Wisconsin, at Michigan St, but just not been able to get over the hump), can they get Purdue this week (especially as Purdue has not been tested). With risk of falling to 1-4 in conf play does any team face a more critical must win situation this week? I expect a close one.
