Not what I expected. Trés cute.

I was 2135, 2136 and 2137. 

I only looked at a couple others and was not impressed.  Didnt notice if our guys were winning in votes.
CRUSADERS!!!

It would have been exciting if they could have gotten Bryce to do a cameo where he hugs the student who made the shot. Does anybody know how many takes that took?

At a minimum the Valpo one should be beating Miami of Ohio.... But does that help our RPI (Rating Productionvalue Index)?

they made the basket on the first take... the other 2,480 were to get the "Jared Nuness" facial expressions and the Bryce swan-dive just right.... :crazy:

Looks like we are still in 5th place, but not far out of 2nd place.

Was there a second contest as well?  Involving Alec?  That wasn't quite live when it was posted?

Looks tough to pass Gonzaga.  Not sure how many "winners" there are.

We could still take third by beating Duke.

Alec still south of 15% - you can make a difference!

If you looked at statistics alone who has better numbers. ...   Alec or Mike Meyers (basketball stats - not movie ticket sales)

talksalot

Alec is down 85%-15%
Sykes is down 77%-22%
Felder is AHEAD 56%-44%

Pretty different players.  Looks like Meyers is a low-post guy.  And a senior JC transfer? 16.1 PPG to Alec's 16.8.  60% FG% (better than Alec's 2PG%, but presumably different shot selection), doesn't shoot 3's.  Gets to the line a lot more often for 6 of his 16 points per game, but converts at a poor 65% to Alec's 83%.  Outrebounds Alec a little, and turns it over more.  All in 10% fewer minutes.   I didn't look at tempo.

You'd think you'd give the edge to Alec, unless the versatility of his game bothers you somehow.  But Meyers' numbers are pretty good too.

Vote for Alec!

Thought I should let everyone know that   you can vote from each computer or phone you have... 

Just added 4 votes and it barely moved

Not sure what their rules are.  But, it looks like their site, at least the automated portion, just sets a cookie to mark that you've voted.  If you turn cookies off you can vote as often as you'd like.

Alec's north of 20% now.

agibson's right, without cookies I just added a lot of votes, and in the last ten minutes or so we've pushed Alec from about 18% to north of 22%

This Meyers guy apparently has an industry behind him.
