Thanks for the kudos. Knutson is certainly the star of the team and maybe the only force, but every other guy is at worst a good complimentary piece.

And for the rest of you Big 8 teams, don't make me look like a liar. If I'm going to say we're the better conference, start acting like it! Terrible display today, though I do enjoy moving up to 2nd place for the time being.

Well no offense to Big Bucks, because they played a great game and were a tough matchup, but I didn't have the most favorable sim. I mean I know it's random, but the fouls seems extremely one sided. And I realize tough matchups lead to fouls trying to cover better players, but I have better players at other positions and they were stopped in their tracks without getting fouled. My rebounding and outside shooting weren't what I was hoping for either. Oh well.

yea the GE has some major flaws still with in game performance, such as scenarios when, say my best SF would foul out, and a reserve would be put in his place (the worst player on the team, by far), and I would be down by 2 or 3 points with 5 seconds to play and of all the other much better talent on the floor to go to for the last shot, the GE chooses that my reserve sf takes the last shot. In which case he most likely misses and I lose because of the GE when I had a very legitimate shot at atleast tieing it to send it into overtime.

But countless times I get screwed over because of crap like this.

I'm more worried about GT, they have way too much athleticism. They have the most upside in the ACC.

John Wall for KU is my hero in the college world. I play much like him with my averages (had I stayed with ETSU and gone on to play college ball). I'm still thinking about attempting a walk on now that its been 2 years with no scouting. For those that don't know what ETSU is, East Tennessee State University, a DII school, last year (i believe?) made it to the march madness tournament, first round drew 1st place Pitts and almost beat them. Lost by.. a couple, can't remember the score.
I hope John Wall chooses to go into the NBA because he's straight up a monster.

ETSU is DI; they wouldn't be in the DI tournament if they were not. They lost by 10 to Pitt, but were down 2 with 4:30 left.

I love good PGs.

I love John Wall.

John Wall will kill it in the NBA.

I hate my school's (Michigan) lack of PGs at the moment. It makes me angry.

How does everyone see the rest of the season playing out?
My guess:

Big8:
1. Deronimo
2. Lilburn
3. Hoofhearted
4. Raleigh

Great8:
1. Googily
2. That One Team
3. Wahoos
4. Meridian

Do you know where it says they are DI? Or when they went from DII to DI?
Because I know for a fact when I was talking to the scouting coordinator that they were a DII school 2 years ago. So they could've moved up for last season I'm not certain, but I know for a fact that they did used to be a DII school.
Either way, DI or not, I still hope to attempt a walk on this coming fall. I gotta get back in major shape till then however. The coach kills the players in practice.

My home team is UT (Austin) since i'm from Texas. We had good PGs in Augustin and Gibson who were better in college than their pro careers are showing to be. Although I tend to think Gibson is doing pretty well with the Cavs.

And my guess is the same as yours for each conference. I might have a chance to make the playoffs if my starting SF can perform once he comes off injury.
Other than that, I see the finals looking like either:

Deronimo vs. Googily

or

Lilburn vs. Googily

Unless Googily gets upset in the semis against Meridian or Wahoos, which is always possible.
