Back by unpopular demand is the Saturday PickEm Challenge, formerly the Mook Invitational. As a quick refresher for the returning players and intro for any new participants, a quick rundown of the rules/format.
Games will be shown with team codes listed next to each school. Entries MUST be submitted in the order the games are listed and with the correct team code for each selection. One set of games will be noted as "1 and 1" and much like the FT attempts of the same name the 1st one has to be correct for the second one to count. One game will be chosen as the "3 point game" and this game is the only game that has a spread associated with it. If you correctly pick this game you are awarded 3 points, if you miss you are penalized 1 point. This game is OPTIONAL and if a player so chooses they can simply write PASS in place of a team code. Here is an example of how it looks.
North Carolina (UNC) at Duke (DOOK)
Indiana (IU) at Michigan State (BABS)
UCLA (UCLA) at Arizona (ZONA)
Kansas (KU) at Texas A&M (ATM)
1 and 1
Georgetown (HOYA) at Villanova (NOVA)
Kentucky (UK) at Florida (TRIX)

w00t!
thanks Shine, for letting us all show how dumb we are once again.
Technically, that Duke/Davidson is being played on a "neutral" court in Charlotte - I'm guessing that the fans will break slightly in Duke's favor. I'm guessing something like 86-73 Duke.
