As a heads-up, there's a game on Tuesday, Rutgers (vs. St. John's) that *might* count as a semifinal game.
Also, the Towson game for Week Two is on Wednesday, Towson (vs. Loyola).

It's funny how G'town had so much preseason hype and then the season starts and... Not so simple. FCA puts his chips on G'town, FCA gets very similar preseason hype, and... Not so simple. I'm not being a jerk. Not even trash talking. Just find it interesting how closely our fantasy season mirrors the NCAA season.

You have to play your defense btw.. can’t just chose not to

Can we get a ruling in if we need to actually put Yale’s defense out there or just go “fantasy ten man ride”?

Touche!! Or maybe you are like Loyola with no hype, then shock the world.....and then will simmer back down??

I went all in on GTOWN defense....they have a tough beginning schedule. Not many teams that can win when your defense puts up -5.....but we were close! Confident we will be just fine.

Been a great start to the season......gotta say VIRGINIA and NOTRE DAME look impressive!!

With very little information i'm gunna predict the moneylines for week 1, just for a bit of fun tbh

DU-Fan vs. CalLaxDad Close run but DU Fan winner
NC Lax vs. PA Talk PAtalk winner but again will be very close, maybe even require the benches
GCCLax vs. Typical Lax Dad Typical winner
Matnum PI vs. GreenieLax Matnum gets the points on the board
Maddog vs. Keoni007 Keoni winner
Lax1 vs. OCanada Lax1 winner
NJLaxx11 vs. UK Lax UKLAX Winner---obviously!
GenghiskhanBluejay vs. Farfromgeneva Genghis winner
FCALax vs. ohmilax34 FCA winner
ChopSticks vs. HipandKneeDoc Hipandknee winner

Almost perfect. Defending champ takes down FCA

Huge win over one of the favorites for this season.

I noticed a few teams got 17 points from their field players, including TLD, Matt, Greenie and me. I thought that was interesting.

Dropping 2 low scoring NCAA teams and picking up 3 relatively high-scoring NCAA teams helps.

Not bad considering I wouldn’t have bet against FCA at any time

Or, more accurately, you wouldn't bet against G'town. (I could be wrong, but I think you've gotten a fair share of points from G'town players. And not just McDermott.) In this case, it's that G'town D. They'll obviously have better games as the season progresses but... I wonder. Until we know better, we gotta be looking at HipandKnee as the team to beat...

Carraway was a monster for me and until this year mcdermott did well for sure. Luckily he got on the board this weekend so i'm hoping he stops being drowned out by bundy and dordevic

UK, are you going to predict Week 2?

I was probably one of the few Orange fans that was happy to see Dordevic leave. He is a selfish player and high volume low percentage shooter IMHO.
