NOTES


Illinois beats NU by 1 in last 3 seconds and despite trailing for most of game. And, Louisville gets a 33-point smackdown by Notre Dame
Those two games accounted for 12 of the 17 losses tonight
Only three wins for the night -- a .150 winning percentage. That breaks our string of three winning nights.
Over half of the "Steady Selectors" (10 of the 16) are at or above 0.500. That's pretty good. Then there's the rest of us. :o

Snowman, I though I picked Louisville +30...apparently, it got sent as -3. You might want to check on that...;)

Snowman, I though I picked Louisville +30...apparently, it got sent as -3. You might want to check on that...;)It woulda had to have been +34 for it to any good -- LOL! I think a lot of folks would have jumped on that for some reason or another.

But I did go back and check to see if Illinois wasn't really a "pick 'em." No such luck.
