Congrats to SkiUMah Gopher - Today's Predict the Score Winner (tOSU)

[MNSnowman]

Although 3 were just 2 points away from the actual score of 68-59, SkiUMah hit the Gopher score on the button with his 68-61 prediction to win the tie-breaker. More later.

It just shows that accountants are good w/numbers..!

 

[Dr.Don]

I thought my prediction of MN 72-tOSU 61 would be good for some bonus points. BUTTTTTT, I gotta let Snowman determine if I did. At least I know I got 1 point for the Gopher WIN!!!!!!!!!!! # 31 in the polls so far.

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

I humbly accept the win today.

Consider me the blind squirrel.
