Deadline for Picks is tip-off but no later than 5:00​

The competition is pretty simple but please check The Rules if you have any questions or aren't sure how to proceed. Also, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition. There's more in an Announcement about when we will shift to two divisions, etc. 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 and spreads:
Following games must be picked by 5:00:
Massachusetts at SETON HALL -16 ( 7:00 PM EST)
Brown at PROVIDENCE -19.5 ( 7:00 PM EST)
Coll Of Charleston at UNC-GREENSBORO 3.5 ( 7:00 PM EST)
Appalachian St at WOFFORD -7 ( 7:00 PM EST)
Michigan St at THE CITADEL 16 ( 7:05 PM EST)
Siena at IONA 5 ( 7:30 PM EST)

Home team is in CAPS; "vs" indicates a neutral court. Spreads courtesy of ScoresAndOdds.com

Reminders -- per the earlier announcement:
  • We split into two divisions on 12/15: The Steady Selectors (who make picks for 2/3rds of the available dates) and the Laid Back Pickers. You'll need to have at least 28 picks on 12/15 to make it into the Steady Selectors ... if you're close, you'll move into that division if you step up your pace and hit the 2/3rds mark.
  • If you don't make a pick for 2-3 weeks, your account will be "retired" and you'll need to check with me before participating again.
  • New participants are welcome any time through 12/31. After that date, you'll need to send me a private message and we'll talk.
