Good morning all. As you may have seen in another thread (https://setonhall.forums.rivals.com/threads/big-east-prediction-contest.62968/#post-1026375), @HallBall'n is unable to run the contest this season. This is always a good-natured, fun contest among posters on this board. Rules are simple: post your picks for BIG EAST conference games on the weekly threads. If you miss a game or post your pick after tip-off, it counts as a loss.

I will post each session as follows: Monday through Thursday and then Weekend games (Friday AND Sat/Sun). Please post your records after each session. Example: Last week: 4-2 / Season: 20-10. The winner of the season-long contest will win a $100 donation to the fund of his or her choice, courtesy of the generous @HallBall'n.



This week's schedule:

Tuesday, December 19
Georgetown @ Butler - 6:30 PM - FS1 - Hinkle/Indy
#6 Marquette @ Providence - 8:30 PM - FS1 - The Amp/Providence

Wednesday, December 20
Xavier @ St. John's - 7:00 PM - FS1 - Carnesecca/Queens
#5 Connecticut @ Seton Hall - 7:00 PM - CBSSN - The Rock/Newark
Villanova @ #12 Creighton - 9:00 PM - FS1 - CHI/Omaha




Be wary of the quick turnaround as there is a game this Friday. I will post a separate thread with that game, as well as the Saturday games.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

@Halldan1, can you confirm? Would hate to dock him two games but the timestamp does say 40 minutes ago (it's 10:01 PM right now).

I would let it go this one time. The poster picked all the favorites and one of the two actually lost.

We will accept @Turiddu @TheHall87 @PJVegas picks of Butler in game one this one time only. Moving forward, please post your picks prior to the scheduled tip off time. Any picks submitted after the start time of that particular game will count as a loss, regardless of the reason.

Many thanks, especially since I did enter the night before and came back yesterday to find an Oops message, which reappeared again earlier today. 😢
Hope the UConvicts game has same result as PC. Never mind listing a pick when SH wins

I have taken forfeits on a few gimme games due to missing the tip time. No brainers like - Depaul @ Nova or Georgetown @ Creighton. Frustrating in the moment but later in the season when you are 6 games out of first you realize it didn't matter. LOL
