Pick per Day - Day 17 (11/26/09)

[Rick Mons]

Deadline for Picks is tip-off time for the game you pick ... there's only a few games, it's Thanksgiving and folks are travelling, eating, drinking and the spirit has moved me.

The competition is pretty simple but please check the rules here if you have any questions or aren't sure how to proceed. You can also send me a Personal Message or e-mail if any questions or problems.

Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.

Here are the games:
These games must be picked prior to tip-off:

W Virginia vs LONG BEACH ST 14.5 ( 2:00 PM EST)
Marquette vs XAVIER -5 ( 2:20 PM EST)
Texas A&M vs CLEMSON -5.5 ( 4:30 PM EST)
Alabama vs BAYLOR PK ( 6:30 PM EST)
Minnesota vs BUTLER PK ( 8:30 PM EST)
Florida St vs IONA 11.5 ( 9:00 PM EST)
Portland vs UCLA -5 ( 11:00 PM EST)

No lines for these games as of 7PM -- I'll add 'em to the list above if the lines are updated later on and when I periodically check:
Creighton vs MICHIGAN OFF ( 12:00 PM EST)
Houston vs OKLAHOMA OFF ( 11:30 PM EST)​

​

All games are tournament games; the theoretical "Home team" is in CAPS; "vs" indicates a neutral court. Spreads courtesy of ScoresAndOdds.com
