Here are the rules:

1. Pick one game a day. This can be from any conference at any time of the day. You must use the following lines to participate:

Pinnacle Sports

You may mention additional games that you like, but the one that you post first will be the one we'll use when determining wins and losses. I will update the standings within 12 hours of the completion of each day's final game unless I note my absence. For easier computation, please use the following format to post your picks:

date: winner (line) over loser

For example ...

11/11: URI (-22) over Providence

You can denote the home team by using caps if you'd like, but it is not necessary. Lastly, please use the lines for that day's game. At the very least, you can use the overnight line, but that is not encouraged. Again, use the odds from the site listed above to pick against. You may also pick a game's over/under.

2. Update your initial post. Instead of posting your pick in a different message each day, simply update your initial post for the week. Put the most recent pick below the previous picks (i.e. Nov. 11's pick after Nov. 10's and so forth) when listing.

3. You will not be penalized for missing a day. In a perfect world, everyone on this board will make a selection each day, but I, like everyone else, have things to do and places to be. So if you miss a day, that's fine. The player with the highest win-loss percentage at the end of the season will be crowned our champ and universally respected. However, the champion must make an average of three selections or more over the course of the season to qualify for the title.

4. Record your success. This is optional. To highlight whether you've won or lost on a day or on previous days, you can change the font of your entry to green for a win or red for a loss (blue for the rare push). To do so, put "color=green" in brackets before your selection and "/color" in brackets afterward to denote a win; do the same for red if you lose. Or just choose the color from the menu above your message. However you do it, it will read:

11/11: URI (-22) over Providence
(If everyone could do this it is a big help)

5. Playoffs: In order to qualify for the postseason, you must have averaged three selections per week over the course of the season. We're looking at 19 weeks - that's regular season and conference tournaments - so multiply the weeks by three and that's your minimum (57) ... not that hard to achieve.

The top eight who qualify will be entered into the NCAA pool; the next eight will compete for the faux NIT title. It will be set up like a bracket - 1 v 8, 2 v 7, etc. Each participant then must select five games each week from the NIT and NCAA schedule to meet his tournament quota. Also, one must assign one of the picks as his TIEBREAKER pick; the amount by which you win or lose will break ties with participants with the same record. Winners will advance to the semis, then the finals, etc.

2/11 Kansas -8 over Kansas St.
2/12 Michigan -1.5 over Michigan St.
2/13 Oregon +2.5 over Washington
2/14 Virginia Commonwealth -12.5 over Massachusetts
2/15 Georgetown at Cincinnati Over 120
2/16 Rutgers +1.5 over DePaul
2/17 Minnesota +1 over Iowa

Iowa has found ways to lose games all season. Minnesota looks like they may have turned the corner with the comeback win over Wisconsin and translate that into a nice run.

Minny to win.

02/14: Gonzaga @St. Mary's OVER 141.5
02/15: Georgetown @Cincinnati OVER 118.5
02/16: pass - I will be driving up to NY from MD, so likely no time for a pick. Probably a blessing.
02/17: Miami @Clemson OVER 121.5

Week: 1-5
Overall: 35-26

Let's see if I can hang onto my NIT spot.
2/11: Kansas state (+7.5) vs. Kansas. Jayhawks won by 4 in Manhattan, but that's when they were actually playing well. I'm sure they'll win, but 8 points is a lot to ask for from them.
2/12: Alabama vs. Georgia UNDER 110.5. Too good defense, 2 lousy offenses. Probably somewhere around a 55-45 final.
2/13: Long Beach vs. CSU-Fullerton UNDER 159
2/14: South Carolina vs. LSU UNDER 136.5. Lets take my chances on a 3rd straight over/under. if I'm able to win this one I'm going to retire from over/under's the rest of the season, and will probably take the rest of the week off. I'm gonna take my winnings into next week. Nothing looks good tomorrow and I'll be gone tomorrow and Sunday.
2/15: pass
2/16: Pass (up in New Hampshire)
2/17: pass

Week: 3-1
Month: 6-5-1
Overall: 42-37-4

Prior weeks: 21-30-2 Ugh!
This week: 2-2

2/13: Bona (+4) over La Salle - Might as well. Not much else has worked this season.
2/15: Iona (-2) over Manhattan
2/16: Bonnies (+6.5) over Spiders. Worked the other day. What the heck.
2/17: Ohio State/Wisconsin, under 119.5

And, they score 120. My season continues.

02/11: Kansas (-7.5) over Kansas State
02/12: Michigan (-1) over Michigan State I feel strange picking U of M to beat MSU in East Lansing, but they just seem so much better. Oh well.
02/13: Iowa State (+1) over Texas
02/14: Canisius (+5.5) over Loyola Maryland
02/15: Wisconsin Green Bay (-4.5) over Cleveland State
02/16: Memphis (-9) over Marshall
02/17: Illinois (-3.5) over Northwestern

Week: 5-2
Overall: 45-46

Yet another chance to get back to .500. Hasn't worked yet.
