Antoine (Portland) Feb 02 - 9:10 PM

A game at Columbia is never easy. We've only won there twice in 28 games. So yes, I'm used to heavy losses against Columbia… and I know what needs to be done. ;-)

Antoine (Portland) Feb 02 - 9:11 PM

Allan (Quincy) Feb 02 - 9:23 PM

I think the less reference to Steve’s “Paradise Orchard” the better.

Roger (Pekin) Feb 04 - 10:12 AM

Couple of good matches for Columbia to start the season. I hope Steve's freshmen make the most of it.

Jason (Spokane) Feb 05 - 11:10 PM

his freshmen will not play in this match.

Notes
This shows a preview based on your Top 7 players. Your top 7 players (and your opponents) may not be playing. The effective overall and effective grades INCLUDE BOTH FIT and HOME COURT additions.

This is a basic prediction and does not mean you will win if you get the prediction checkmark. In fact, you will likely lose. This is a simple totaling of the checkmarks where we double the count for OH and MB since you have two of those on the floor versus the other positions.

We are interested in adding to this concept though like using a Top-14 where we double the weight for the starter but add the numbers for the backups as they will play in a session too. Thoughts or ideas?

ELO
For ELO, 145 Rating points are added to the home team's ELO rating to determine the chance of winning.
