Here are The Rules if you have any questions. Sorry, we're not taking any new participants. And for current participants, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition.

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.

Today's games and spreads -- please remember that picks are due by tip-off or 5 PM, whichever is earlier. Also, if the game starts at 10PM (EST) or later, chances are the standings will be delayed to the following day.

UPDATED: PPD Standings after Friday's Games (02-12)

  • Today's Picks: just 1 wins versus 22 losses for a 0.043 winning percentage. That's a record low winning percentage -- ugh.
  • We would have gotten skunked except that Gopher in Qatar had a winning pick tonight (Brown -7)
  • I heard the thud here when Penn clobbered #22 Cornell, 64-79. SelectionSunday is saying "Wait! What?"
  • Pitt beats West Va in 3OT by 3.
  • Harvard wins by only 3 in OT and fails to cover.
  • Rider loses in OT by 4 and was favored by 1.
  • And Siena -- the consensus pick with 10 chosing 'em -- also loses outright.
  • This didn't get posted 'til late as I caught the Cretin-Derham Hall game up at Forest Lake and then had to catch up with some friends and family after the game. FL won in OT, 80-78. C-DH scored a bucket at the buzzer to tie and go into second overtime but refs ruled the basket was after the buzzer. It was a great high school game.
  • YTD Picks: 1268 wins, 1220 losses and 55 pushes for a 0.51 record
  • YTD Consensus Picks: 57 wins, 48 losses and 3 pushes for a 0.543 record
