We’re Back!

Excited to be back for another college basketball season. We usually take the first few months off of the season around here, just watching basketball instead of trying to make a bracket. But Christmas is about that time we start to turn our eye toward what may be in March.

After last year’s 7th overall finish with the best raw score we’ve ever achieved here, the bar is higher than its ever been. We take a 15th overall ranking, courtesy of The Bracket Matrix, into the season and we’ll look to move up again in March.

So, with that being said, look out for a bracket soon 😎
