College Basketball (Week of Jan. 12)

It's time to get some hoops predictions going. I'll warn you now that I am predisposed to NCAA ball. This is an all sports league, so I will try to put NBA on here from time to time (I will do a lot with the playoffs this summer), but most basketball games will be college for now. I will probably post games once a week or so.

Since I want to give you guys at least a few days notice for picks, I won't be able to post spreads with the games. I won't be able to add spreads into the games until the day of the game. I will be posting the spread that is printed in the local paper the day of the game and I will add on half point to any spread that is not a half point spread already.

I will score this the same way as the football. A brief reminder taking into account the changes.

-1 point - you fail to make a prediction.
0 points - you fail to predict the correct winner and your score does not beat the spread.
1 point - you correctly pick the winner but your score fails to beat the spread.
2 points - you fail to correctly pick the winner but your score beats the spread.
3 points - you correctly pick the winner and your score beats the spread.
5 points - you correctly pick the winner and their exact margin of victory.
10 points - you correctly pick the exact final score of the game.

Games for the week starting Monday, January 12.
