Gameday Pick’em #10: Southern (0-7)

The Pundits

The Picks

There isn’t much of a preview for this game. Save for the opening tip, the game shouldn’t be close. I know it is early still, and that the RPI isn’t the end-all rating index for college hoops, but it is the closest we have to a perfect ranking system. And Southern is the worst team in Division I basketball per the RPI.

That’s right. #343 out of three-hundred-forty-stinky-three teams. They are winless. They only score 60 points per game against the #325 ranked schedule in the country. They allow opponents to shoot 48.5% from the field.

Tonight, my friends, should be a warm bloodbath on a frightfully cold night in Omaha. If this is closer than 40 points, there is a problem.

Enough of this nonsense. To the picks!

(Dance Cam Guy, Panon, my wife, and I will pick ‘em each and every game on this site. We’ll keep track of the winner each game, and at the end of the year you’ll be able to find one of us three buying a round or two of expensive Scottrade Center brews at Arch Madness.)

(FYI #1: We have a new competitor. Mrs. Dance Cam Guy brings her brilliance to the blog with a 9-game handicap. She’s knowledgeable enough to make it up in the following two-thirds of the season, though.)

(FYI #2: Mrs. Creighton Otter translated her law school finals studying skills into a pick ‘em sweep on Saturday. She had Booker with 18 (he had 16) and correctly guessed the Jays would win by 19. Watch out Evidence final!)

Creighton Otter: Booker Woodfox (22)
Dance Cam Guy: Kenny Lawson (18)
