I followed a great 82 point prediction for William & Mary-Elon with a horrible 24 point prediction for Hofstra's win. I was correct about Hofstra's score but James Madison scored 19 fewer than I predicted. Hofstra's game had by far the worst average score so far with wags leading that game with 54 points. Here are the standings through four games:
1. EvanJ: 242
2. dan10: 236
3. Wags: 158 (predicted 3 out of 4 games and hasn't predicted the last two Quarterfinals yet)
4. dutchiedoright: 150
Mean: 196.5

Re: 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament Prediction Contest
After UNC Wilmington-College of Charleston, dan10 took the lead.
I hope Hofstra defends William & Mary better than in the last two games, but I'm going to predict Hofstra to lose 76-74 again. Predicting a 76-74 loss to James Madison worked for Hofstra today.

Re: 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament Prediction Contest
For the other prediction contest...
1 perfect bracket remains after Saturday's games. The coin flip is also perfect (all wrong), which likely means that maybe the games were not quite as close to coin flips as many thought. I think the scores yesterday also reflect this. There were 3 people who had all of the games yesterday correct.

Re: 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament Prediction Contest
For William & Mary-Hofstra, dan10 and I got 64 each and dutchiedoright got 26. For UNC Wilmington-Northeastern, dutchiedoright and I got 74 each and I gained on dan10 who got 58. Barring a negative score for a horrible prediction, dutchiedoright will finish third and he currently has 336 points. Wags has 158 points from three games and is in fourth (last) although he has a higher average score per game he predicted than dutchiedoright. It's close at the top:
1. dan10: 510
2. EvanJ: 502
I predict William & Mary 71, Northeastern 68. dan10 could win by predicting the same score as me, but hopefully he won't.

Re: 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament Prediction Contest
My heart is so not in this anymore....today was a punch to the gut. I cannot believe that kid made that shot.......
Our guys were awesome...... Hustled, picked each other up, were "in it to win it", clutch..... the whole afternoon, every huddle.
You wouldn't believe the physical, not to mention emotional, demand they were under.
Simply, wow.
Anyway......

Gotta say, JMU fans were polite and honorable yesterday. WM fans were pigs.

Re: 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament Prediction Contest
Thank you for everyone who participated in this year's bracket challenge. Congrats to the Northeastern huskies for securing the CAA bid for 2015. 10 players predicted the correct final with 3 players predicting the final correctly (dan10, DrachenFire, hualum). Dan10 predicted a perfect bracket. 3 of the top 5 players made incredible comebacks after predicting the first two games incorrectly (DrachenFire, hualum, Paulbintheburg). Thanks again, and good luck to Northeastern in the NCAA Tournament.
