Kicking off this year's pick 'em contest for the Men's Basketball games. We're still looking for a sponsor for this year's competition, so if you know of someone or if you would like to donate to the cause, PM me.

It is a very simple contest, just copy and paste what I have below between the two lines and fill in your prediction including the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker will occasionally change so be aware and make sure to check it. In order to determine the winner I will take the difference between your prediction of the SFA points and their actual points. Then I will take the difference of your prediction of the opponents points and their actual points. I will then add them together and determine the outcome. If you choose the wrong winner, you will be assessed a penalty which will be the worst score of those that chose the right winner.

The closest prediction will receive 10 points and then so on (2nd gets 9, 3rd gets 8...). If you have a perfect prediction, you will receive an 8 points bonus! I will do my best to have the scores posted within the next day of the game but no guarantees.

The tiebreaker for this game is the number of SFA's turnovers for the game. Good luck!

SFA at MSU prediction:

------------------------------

SFA: 76
MSU: 68

Tiebreaker: 17

-------------------------------

Predictions lock at the time of tip-off and any user that changes theirs after that will be disqualified.

Some interesting stats from our pick em:

2 people picked SFA / 14 picked MSU
Ljacks and SFAXE93 had the smallest margin of defeat at 7 (Actual loss by 5)
No-look and I picked the least amount of turnovers at 17 (Actual turnovers - 12)

Overall the grouping of total score was pretty tight, but all in all, the Lumberjacks played better than our experiment in groupthink. Better game and much better on turnovers. Food for thought.
