Big East Fantasy Basketball League

Hi all,

Mike, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. CE is (almost) officially dead, but a couple of guys are REALLY trying to keep alive what we think is the coolest thing the site ever did (other than prudat's wallpapers).

We have run a fantasy league for Big East basketball the past two seasons. We're looking to make it 3, but with CE falling apart we have bailed and are looking to make a simple hosting forum to continue things. It is all bragging rights (as of right now) and meant just as a fun way for Cardinal fans to keep tabs not only on their players but the stars that make up the greatest hoops league on the planet.


A friend has created a simple website to host our league functions, which you can see here:

The basic idea is you draft a roster of players who play for the 16 Big East teams, ultimately fielding a lineup of 2 guards, 2 forwards, a center, and a utility (6th man) player. Statistics are accumulated each week in 5 categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, FT%) for up to 2 games for each of your 6 players. The winner of each category each week earns a point, with up to 6 points available (5 points for the 5 categories plus a bonus point in cases of sweeps).

We'd like to get 10 owners for the league and are looking for just a couple more players. This is the 3rd year we've run this league and the first where it will have its own dedicated website. Please keep in mind the site is very basic, but the league is a TON of fun. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post here or check out the site!
