I have made the FF 7 times at NYU....six of the seven times I lost to a better team in my opinion.   The only time I was "upset" was by the drow guy in a Championship game....the last two I have been shredded by Greensboro coached by the Noah dude.....I am really good as building the 3rd or 4th best team in D3 :)

Another big game result, Whittier beat U. of New England 75-70

Becker beats Upper Iowa 101-100 in 2OT maybe Upper Iowa is much better than people think(I had them as a surprise team) as Becker is a consensus F4 team.

Howard Payne beats Piedmont 73-70

Millsaps beats Whittier 79-69

Westminister PA beats Desales 106-84

Top 5 remains pretty constant:

1. Cal Tech (=)
2. Wisconsin Eau, Claire (+1)
3. Becker (-1)
4. Drew (+2)
5. Menlo(-1)

#7,8 were the highest ranked teams to lose(Whittier/Piedmont)

#9 Texas Lutheran beats down #15 Catholic  102-74

Pacific Lutheran upsets #6 NYU 68-65

down goes #1 Cal Tech as they lose to #15 NYU 58-68

#5 Becker beats #14 Howard Payne 80-69

#7 PBA beats #17 Whitter 53-51

#23 Medaille beats #12 Manchester 54-52

#9 Franlin loses to Yeshiva 76-69


Also have our first top 5 matchup between #1 Cal Tech verse #4 Becker with Becker as 1 point favorites

also we will see #2 Menlo verse #20 Catholic

and #3 Drew verse #10 NYU

You hit 7 3's in the second half :(

I was surprised my PG did so well....I thought my SG would do well against your C, turned SG (which is cool) but your PG is VERY good and playing a +2 I think I got REALLY lucky

My C turned SG? who is this?  Carnes who I moved to SF?

I also thought Fernburg would destroy Cosby or at least better than 4/13 on offense due to the giant Ath advantage I guess rebounding was too much?

Your PG is like a better version of mine 70/70/90 ath/spd/def your basically 80/80/90 

I was surprised you managed so many 3's I was debating running a +3, but honestly it wouldn't have mattered you still would've won by 10.

#1 Cal Tech beats #2 Becker 67-65 on a gamewinning jumper with 5 seconds left with the score tied at 65.  Potential Final Four preview.

#2 Menlo beats #20 Catholic 119-98, Menlo shooting 54% as a team, Kinder scores 32 points.

#7 Hanover beats #19 Whitworth 77-66 Hanover shoots 49% as a team

#10 NYU loses to #3 Drew 56-46, Drew holds NYU to 38% team shooting.

Ranking Shakeup, new #1

#1 Menlo(+1)
#2 Cal Tech (-1) I like how I lose as the top ranked team to #15 and stay at #1, then beat the #2 team and drop down to #2
#3 Drew (=)
#4 Wisconsin, Eau Claire (+1)
#5 Hanover (+2)

Highest rated sim: Ferrum #23 7-0


RPI/SOS will be released after the 2pm cycle as they're a few teams left to play 7 games.

YEah, I thought you played Carnes at SG, I confused him SMith.....Fernburg is like 90 ATH 30 LP right? He had a huge advantage on Cosby's 40 ATH but the 65 DEF and 80 BLK more than balance him out defensively against that type of player.

#2 Cal Tech upset by CNU 69-63

#5 Hanover beats #6 PBA 76-65

#7 Texas Lutheran loses #19 NYU 64-58

I'll be posting an updated projection come the conclusion of non-conference.

Rankings are really funny. Cal Tech beats Becker on the road and then drops to the #2 spot. That would never happen in real life. 

I enjoy this thread....great job Ian.

I agree, I like his enthusiasm for the game. It's sorely lacking in a lot of people around here. We need more like that. Makes it more enjoyable.
