Deadline for Picks is tipoff time or 5 PM -- whichever is earlier
Please check & make sure your pick is included in the summary after the deadline.

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.

PPD Standings after Saturday's Games (01-23)

  • Drake continues to shine with a 14-point win over visiting Wichita State (64-78). Wichita held the Bulldogs to just 39 points earlier this season there.
  • Southern Illinois holds off Illinois State in OT, 80-81.
  • ATTF and I talked at today's game about how neither of us could pick against the Gophers even though MSU +2 seemed pretty good. We held to our principles and ... my pick covered (Wake Forest -6.5; won by 12) but ATTF's didn't (Vandy -14.5; won by only 8).
  • MSU was the consensus pick with 8 selecting Sparty. And we know how that turned out.
  • Today's Picks: 14 wins; 10 losses; and 0 pushes for a 0.583 winning percentage.
  • YTD Picks: 1029 wins, 983 losses and 51 pushes for a 0.511 record
  • Consensus pick is Mich State (+2) with 8 picks -- they win outright much to true fans' chagrin.
  • YTD Consensus Picks: 43 wins, 41 losses and 3 pushes for a 0.512 record
