Yeah that 17 point HOME win really looked like quite an upset.       Vegas knows their stuff and so do I - this is expressly why it was a toss up and not an upset.  Don't doubt THA KID!

your more of a tool than I thought     we've been playing rankings for upsets the whole time. Is Arkansas  an upset over Florida.   I guess you don't know your stuff.

Out of respect for JJ ...

Miss St. over ( Tennessee

Glad to see that you need to find sneaky ways to win rather than put real basketball knowledge out there.  Try to do so with out your panties giving you a wedgie next time, your whining is annoying.

Unfortunately you need to change ALL of those Islanderz.  I honestly don't even know what happened in those 2 games yesterday yet, but all picks are from WEDNESDAY on per JJ's rules.  Sorry -- if you won or lost them you have to repick.

THA KID OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION PENDING JJ APPROVAL:

I'd like to make St. John's over Providence this weekend an "upset" game to encourage people to pick St. John's, perhaps people will get more into it --- Providence is def considered a better team, but we are only 1 win less than them in BE.  What do you think JJ?

Tha Kid you are wrong he was picking for that current week still not this upcoming week since he didn't pick yet. These are fine.

Toss up: ND over PC Thursday 7:00pm ESPN2
Upset: Illinois St. over Drake (17) Tuesday 8:05pm
Big East: (6) Georgetown over St. John's Wednesday 7:00pm

Toss Up: WIN http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=280310087
Upset: LOSS
Big East: WIN http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=280302599

DAMNIT Illinois St. You had an 8 point lead at halftime at home and you blow it! Pieces of crap ruined my perfect week. They got outscored 44-32 in the 2nd half to lose by 3.

For those of you who joined in late. I've decided to let you catch up in games by doubling up.

For example I am 9-3 for a total of 12 games

Jungle Fever is 7-2 for a total of 9 games

He has played 1 less week than I so he may chose 6 games in any upcoming week to catch up. All the same rules apply. If you are 2 weeks behind you could chose 9 games in 1 week or 6 games for any two weeks to catch up. Its up to you but this is a way to even out the playing field. You can elect to chose the games right away or wait until the last possible moment to do so.

THA KID'S UPDATED PREDICTIONS (6-3)

Upset #1:  Sunday 1pm Ohio State over (13) Indiana
Upset #2:  Tuesday Feb 12   Purdue over (19) Michigan St.
Big East #1:  Monday 7:00 (6) Georgetown over Villanova
Big East #2:  Tuesday 7:30 (25) Pitt over Providence
Toss Up #1:  Saturday (21) Notre Dame over (16) Marquette
Toss Up #2:  Wednesday (2) Duke over (3) UNC

No its not like any of us who had the full amount of games had the luxury of picking 1 out of 3 so I'd prefer to keep it all 3 or no 3. So please modify your post with either 2 more selections or take out one of your tossups before those games occur.

OK my picks are updated I will use all 6 this week, thanks.
