I’m free falling. And I blame it all on me not picking the right players.

Plenty of games left, plus score totals will get elevated during the tourneys. It’s still anyone’s game!

I missed about 4 games and not sure I will ever get out of the basement. Plus it is impossible with how close our guys are to each other.

I'm surprised how viable the take-the-leftover-points tactic has been. There has to be something virtuous surrounding the reverse jinx, maybe that's it.

PS - Mauraskas is a shot hunter. If you think the game is going to be a blowout and he may get a few minutes of run, you might as well take him because he is for sure going to try to score.

Why so many points for Oregon game and not the USC game? ?

Points earned escalated depending on how far we went.

From the Prices thread:
Chicat wrote: Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:38 pm As you can see from the results thread linked below, it’s a race for second place. The good news is that the farther Arizona goes, the more points you can score and possibly make up some ground. First game is 20 to the winner, second game is 40, championship game is 60.

First two games will be out of 20 (regular scoring). Sweet Sixteen and Elite 8 will be out of 40. Final Four & Championship will be out of 60.

Thanks for the info! Sorry if I'm making you repeat all this. My wife can commiserate with you. 😆

Hey, I really appreciate you doing this, it was sad when there was no RAP.

Huge congrats go out to VegasCatFan for pretty much kicking everyone’s ass from about the midpoint of the season. Pure domination.

Thanks for playing RAP everyone!

I’d like to thank the Academy (aka Chicat), my fellow competitors, my wife for putting up with my Arizona habit, certain Wildcat players for crapping the bed for my competition, and my psychic.

But seriously, big props to Chicat for running this again. Now you all can kneel down and kiss my ……… ummmm …….. ring.

SO UNFAIR! A consortium of big dick RAP fans will be collecting signatures sufficient to appeal this rigged and stollen outcome. RAPatriots unite! Stand Up and Stand Firm!
