With all the votes tallied, we have unanimous picks in Maryland, North Carolina, and Boston College.
(Unanimous that is, apart from Lucky Laxer and laxlover88 who picked Princeton over BC, and Lucky Laxer the lone member tossing his hat in the ring with Denver and Virginia to win today).
In the remaining game, 8 have picked Northwestern while the other 6 have chosen Syracuse.
Good Luck All!

Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
Tip o' the cap to the Seawolves for dispatching JMU, however. Not a bad footnote to say you knocked out the defending champs (as it were) in the 1st round. Ally Kennedy is quite a player. I would pick her for a pro team any day.Turtles Lax wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 11:13 am Below is Larry's original post. Had to remind the lad that Stony Brook was beaten like a rented mule and is not playing. He said that’s impossible!

Pretty good game going on in Chestnut Hill. Tigers lead 5-4 with 15:00 to go...
Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
Sure is, looong way to go but I hope wlaxnut's got a flask or something nearby. Got a feeling he needs a little something to calm the nerves right about now. Tigers up by two now.

7-6 BC at the half due to the Apuzzo-Kent Show rattling off three in a row. Still, might want that flask handy. The Sears kid (from Skaneateles) is something.

North Carolina wins 14-7 over Virginia
Boston College wins 17-12 over Princeton
That'll be an ACCT final rematch next weekend.
Right now, SU-NU on a weather delay with a little over 27 minutes left to play. Northwestern is up big 11-6.

Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
Painful, was afraid of this game for the Cuse gals. Had to turn it off, switch to the men's game. Come back to check what's happening and it's still delayed due to weather. Prolonging the agony.
Weather delays have a way of turning games around sometimes.....here's hopin'.

People wandering back out onto the field in beautiful Evanston. Looks like a really nice day.
Any chance the BTN could wipe the lens of the camera?

NU 11 Syr 6 27:15 left in 2nd half - weather delay
The teams are back on the field warming up. It will be interesting to see if they are able to continue as current Evanston IL forecast is scattered thunderstorms until 7 pm.

Northwestern wins over Syracuse 18-14 to advance to the Final Four.
Orange plagued once again with inconsistent play, which has hurt them against the better teams all year.

BTN announcers sounded as if they're graduates of the Nurse Rachett Broadcasting School.
Maddeningly monotone and emotionless

...sure don't sound like they're enjoying the game
and broadcast Like Ashtyn Hiron does.
Congrats Cats.

Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
I have to say though, they were pretty decent for home team announcers. Usually you get a lot of super-homerism with a lot of these broadcasters. I thought they announced pretty fairly for the most part. But that camerawork...ugh...DMac wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:33 pm BTN announcers sounded as if they're graduates of the Nurse Rachett Broadcasting School.

Yes—it was painful most of the time, although you couldn’t fault the crew for the foggy rainy weather.

Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
everything happening according to the script.
Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
I wish less had gone according to script this year. It's been fun and any of the four remaining teams could win it all, but I wish there had been more upsets during the season (at least among the top tier of teams) and any upsets at all in the tourney. That's my one regret about this season.

Re: The Only Contest That Matters (TOCTM)
Final Four picks:
Boston College over North Carolina
Maryland over Northwestern
Essentially rematches of the ACCT and B1GT finals. I don't think either the Eagles or Terps are going to be hoodwinked again.
