I know Magicman is going to be picking the Cards, so why have all 5 posters pick the same 2 teams on Monday??  granted it'll make the scoring a lot easier, but let's go with some variety here (even though I do think Plattsburgh will win).

I was in such a big hurry to hit the road today to travel down to Saratoga to take in the Plattsburgh-Skidmore game that I never made any picks before I left. I got home just a few minutes ago and when I pulled up D3boards I saw that 7express had left me a PM message. He gave me credit for Plattsburgh since he knew I would pick my Cardinals to win. Here's is proof that I did pick Plattsburgh well in advance of tipoff. The following is a post I made on the SUNYAC board at 6:21 AM Monday morning. I edited it for brevity's sake:

Just 1 game involving a SUNYAC team today.

Plattsburgh State at Skidmore  7:00 PM

This is a match up of 2 teams that should be at or near the top of their respective conferences. Skidmore was chosen to come in 2nd in the Liberty League in their preseason coaches poll. Vassar College, the team that was picked to win the league defeated New Paltz 70-61 last week and Brockport edged St Lawrence 69-66 on Saturday in the only 2 Liberty League-SUNYAC pairings so far.

The oddsmakers have made the Cardinals a 5 point road favorite. That seems reasonable but I think that Plattsburgh will win by a slightly bigger margin. I'm taking the Cardinals by an 80-72 final score. I will be making the trip south to see this game in person. The weather is supposed to cooperate with temperatures approaching 60 degrees. Might as well take advantage of the last stretch of good weather we might have for quite some time.

Concerning the Eastern Connecticut-Connecticut College game. I just have this to say. I haven't looked at a scoreboard yet but I'm willing to wager all the corn in Mankato that Eastern Connecticut, an NCAA team last year and probable NCAA team this year will whoop Connecticut College, a NESCAC team that is usually at or near the bottom of the NESCAC standings, by double digits. I realize I didn't get my pick in on time and will be penalized for failing to do so but I'll be surprised if any of the other guys in this league took Conn College to win this game.

I just checked the scoreboard and I see that Eastern Connecticut beat Conn College by double the number of points that they were favored. The were picked to win by 14 points and won by an 88-60 score for a 28 point MOV. The Camels are worse than I thought. And I see that everyone picked them to lose as well.

Plus K the third to 7express.

Right back at you Magic for the +K for being a good sport and a man of your word
