NCAA Basketball Regular Season Pool

[golfballs]

This is the first year I was introduced to it.

You pick 5 teams whose combined wins didn't exceed a total of 100 last season. Whoever has the most wins between those 5 teams win.

The teams I like right now are:
Baylor
UNLV
New Mexico
Cal
Robert Morris

They combined for a total 100 wins last year and should definitely exceed that this year - probably in just the regular season alone. I'm just unsure about picking 2 teams in the same conference: UNLV and New Mexico

If you're interested, go ahead and make your picks and we can revisit at the end of the season

 

[golfballs]

Nevada is a good choice

 

[therealUT]

Baylor (18)
Illinois (20)
Milwaukee (19)
UCLA (23)
UNC-Asheville (20)

Total (100)

I don' even know where to start, FlogBalls....

 

[golfballs]

i don't recommend tennessee

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

This game is hard.

 

[govols120]

Baylor (18)
Saint Louis (12)
Nevada (13)
Detroit (17)
Belmont (30)
Total: 90

Low-balled it on a couple of them, but I think going mostly mid-major could pay off.

 

[Daloth]

Is this D1 only or do we go to D2?

 

[volfan865]

North Carolina (26)
Kentucky (25)
Baylor (18)
Vanderbilt (23)
Scaramento State (7)

=99


I used a little bit different strategy.

 

[golfballs]

Is this D1 only or do we go to D2?

There are plenty of D1 schools to choose from, I think.

 

[Daloth]

Give me
Baylor(18)
Nevada (13)
Lamar (13)
Belmont (30)
North Carolina (26)

Total 100

All good teams to turn it around.

 

[therealUT]

Rule clarification: wins total from last year includes Conference, NIT, and NCAA tournaments? or not?

Kentucky - 29
Nevada - 13
Virginia - 16
Xavier - 24

Total: 100

yes, it does

 

[therealUT]

yes, it does

Then there are some individuals in here that need to change their selections.

Kentucky had 29 total wins last season.

 

[golfballs]

I've changed my mind. I'm going:

Kentucky (29)
New Mexico (22)
California (18)
Baylor (18)
Nevada (13)

Kentucky had 29 total wins last season.

I'm not sure where a number of them got their win totals from. Some aren't consistent at all in what they include/exclude.

Thanks! I was just thinking about updating this. You beat me to the punch

 

[golfballs]

UTC might be winning this had it not been for that Xavier fight. The team really fell apart after that.

 

[volfan865]

Yes and those who chose Belmont had to be expecting closer to 20 wins then they are
