Split the week with a win at home and a neutral loss. Good effort from the team, overall. So you can't complain about that. Much better progress than we saw in the prior week. Onto the next.

TWO THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND: 1) Your score prediction for Nebraska at Creighton (as usual). 2) BONUS (-5 points): Predicting the exact number of Nebraska players that score 10+ (10 or more) points during this game (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "10").

And all this time, I thought this was a battle between Tyson and Perdue.

Odd. Good catch. I have exactly what you mention in my records, but must have been a bad copy/paste. It pasted the first 53 scores but not the 57 total. You also might not have checked the fine print in the rules: * If Noah121 misses a prediction for the first game of the season, that participant is automatically disqualified. However, if Noah121 protests the leaderboard standings and provides the exact appropriate score, that participant is reactivated into the leaderboard standings.

Well, I'm already slacking on Week 1. Self-inflicted expectations. I usually try to get these updates out each Monday (the official start of a new week for NCAA basketball and also when new rankings come out). I'll set some reminders and get back on track! It's great to see a new season kick off. But it's also started with some ups and downs. Good opening game and, more than anything, a questionable second game. Which team will show up this season? Time will tell.

$15 for 3 noncon games + 1 exhibition game makes it $3.75/game. Which....was still overpriced for the product we saw on the floor last night. NyQuil goes for around $9.99 which would have been the better purchase.

Too soon.

You have a point.

Based on immediate reactions to this game, this is set up to be a loooooooong season.

The spirit of "a win is a win" was in the context of "we just squeezed out a 5 point win against a 2023 NET #308 team". So you take the win and find a way to stop the bleeding for future games. We've got much bigger problems to sort out before we close out the regular season than worrying what the selection committee is going to say in March.

Reasonably Scarlet and Cream - 82 Fairleigh Burgundy and Blue - 70

Unfortunately, the metrics used to select tournament teams disagree... A win versus a bad team is better than a loss versus a bad team. So I think the metrics agree.
