With preseason games under way and the regular season starting in just 4 days, the BabblemurBBALL challenge is set for another exciting year.
The first head-to-head matchup takes effect on next Friday (Nov 13) when Wright St faces off against Washington. An additional 126 games are scheduled for that day. The following day, Dayton faces off against Creighton while Cornell seeks to establish their presence against a solid Alabama.
Of particular note:
- Syracuse lost a preseason match to D-2 Le Moyne.
- Minnesota recruit suspended and another player not playin yet, while UCONN players missing some playtime due to eligiblity questions.
- Half the UCLA squad is injured.
- Kentucky guard John Wall will miss two games this year

I'm ready to predict here and now that in spite of Syracuse's poor showing in the exhibition against a DII school that they will make the tourney.
As will the rest of my teams.
That's right, I said it!
Also, where's the link to the spreadsheet?

I predict this is the only time that Jutdog will be in first place.
And we are off! North Carolina looked good against FIU, and Ohio State manhandled Alcorn State.
Go Murray St!! Comon Boys!
Whew! That was a close one!
1 down 217 to go.
4 down, 2,400 to go...
And Akaoni and Babblemur SHOOT into first place, leaving the Mitchell Brothers in the DUST MFaaaS!
Yes, I held that position last year, while I felt good to lead at the start, it's just the end that matters.....

And Boaris gets left behind as Babs, Akaoni and Illinois Guy blast ahead with overpowering wins over chump teams! Pow! Who will break this three way deadlock? Can Boaris' Ohio State beat James Madison tonight to turn it into a four way fluster-cluck? Time will tell!
Friday is the first "big day"! What's at stake, point wize:
Akaoni: 7 points possible with Washington facing Wright St (SGII)
Illinois Guy: Could get five if Wright St knocks off Washington, but could lose one if Tulsa chokes against their Div II opponent...
Babs: a measily 2 points but easy ones
Boaris: 5 points possible
Gunz: 2
Jaybird 3
Jutdog 6
Turtle 4
Phun 5
CEO 4
What'd you think? Can Cornell, considered to have one of the best team in Ivy league history, take down a decent Alabama squad? Or blow out by 35? I love our game because it produces an interest in Cornell beating Alabama, and Jacksonville taking out Florida St.
