  • Online Prediction Game for Summit League Basketball

    Hello Jackrabbit Fans,

    First, let me congratulate you on a great year of football and I wish you good luck in the upcoming playoffs. Second, I am here to announce that I have put together an online prediction game for all Summit League basketball games (both Men and Women) and maybe a few Top 25 matchups thrown in the mix. I did one for MVFC football and had fun with it. I am hoping more players will join us for basketball. It does not cost anything to play and there will be no substantive prizes awarded (I might come up with a little something before the year is done). For each game during the week, you simply pick the winner and a point margin. Each correct pick earns you 3 points plus 1 point for a margin within 3 plus 1 more point for an exact margin. One game each week is the designated "PowerPick" game. For that game, you also choose a "Confidence Level" (CL) from 1 (not very confident) to 5 (very confident). A correct pick on the PowerPick game will earn you CL bonus points. However, an incorrect pick for the PowerPick game will cost you CL points.

    I call it "Roundball Roulette" and open for submitting week 1 predictions at Noon ET on November 26. You can get a sneak preview (even make some "test" predictions) at:

    I look forward to seeing you each week during the Summit League season. If you have questions, go to the Help page in the application. My name and email address are there. BTW, I am a Western Illinois alumnus ('81).

          Exciting times in the Dakotas with NDSU and SDSU in FCS playoffs and both also in top 25 mid-major basketball rankings. I was shooting for two dozen players in Roundball Roulette, not quite there yet. Anyone else interested? Summit League action starts tonight.

              Week 1 is in the books. 14 games on the agenda for Week 2 in the latter part of this month. The Bison and Jacks are this week's PowerPick game. Also, starting this week, I have added a new statistical-based prediction to the mix. For week 2, it is the total number of 3-pt FG attempts in the Oakland and Western Illinois game. Bader and Clark should be lightin' it up that night. Get that prediction exactly right and you earn/split 10 extra bonus points. Join the fun at

              PS. Try to decipher the stereogram in the Game of the Week sheet. If you figure it out, tell me what it is in the comment box at the end of the prediction form.

                One week before Summit League action resumes in full swing. If you have not got your Week 2 picks in yet (and any newcomers are always welcome), try to squeeze them in sometime between now and a week from now. As I mentioned in a previous post, I added a statistical-based prediction to the game worth some bonus points. I have come up with some possibilities for the weeks ahead (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...VjEtaWc&gid=38) but I would like to get your suggestions as well. Feel free to post them here or as a comment on the game prediction form:

                      Week 2 is now history. Western Illinois fan PurplePride40 took the 10 point StatPick jackpot. The PowerPick was a killer for you Jackrabbit fans. Yours truly with a slight lead going in to Week 3. This week's PowerPick matchup is the Omaha and Fort Wayne Men. The USD/SDSU Ladies game will be the StatPick (combined Free Throw ATTEMPTS).

                      Good luck this week and also a very safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year to you all!

                        Week 4 in progress. The Oakland vs SDSU men are the PowerPick this week. StatPick is "Combined Points in the Paint" for Oakland at NDSU men.

                          Moving on to Week 5. Hey, I am running out of fingers and toes. Nobody got the "Points in the Paint" Jackpot in Week 4 so Week 5 Jackpot stands at 30 bonus points. I made this week an easy one. Simply predict the combined assists for Nate Wolters and Ceola Clark in SDSU@WIU Thursday night game and you could capture all or part of those 30 bonus points and become my first "Lucky Devil" award winner. Leatherneck and Bison fans will also be extremely interested in the Week 5 PowerPick matchup. First time players are still and will always be welcome to play. In addition to the Lucky Devil awards, this week I am going to start awarding certificates to the "Player of the Week", not much but a little something that you can show off to your friends.

                          Good Luck this week to you and your teams!

                            Week 6 in progress. Unlike the weather, Summit League action is heating up. Lots of interest in bracketbuster matchups coming in late February. FYI, I will be including those games and will try to come up with something special for them.
