​

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.

While it's nice to get a win again, the best thing was Drake swept SIU and I get bragging rights vs my brother, the SIU alum. It's been a long, long time that Drake has swept the Salukis and I'm $10 richer. ...

Rick Mons: Missouri State +4 (Is it just me or are the picks getting harder? I've now slipped below .500. ... )
