Fantasy Game:
Pick 5 players. I will keep track of their total points, rebounds and assists for the ENTIRE TOURNAMENT. You want players who will get big stats and go deep. RULE: You must pick one player from a 1-3 seed, one player from a 4-6 seed, one player from a 7-9 seed, one player from a 10-12 seed, and one player from a 13-16 seed.
Scoring for fantasy will be based on rank. 1st place gets 13 points, 2nd place gets 12 points and so on. Last place will get 0 points.

College Basketball (Week of Mar. 2)

By the way, I know that some of you would like to know the spreads before I have a chance to post them. I use the Journal & Courier when I can. (That rag has done down hill ever since their best sportswriter retired.) Unfortunately, they haven't been running spreads lately, so I have been using http://www.vegasinsider.com/ in order to find spreads. I always round whole number spreads up 1/2 from the paper. I hope this helps.

Sorry. Weak week. Not a single match up on Saturday or Sunday that involves two ranked teams.

College Basketball (Week of Feb. 2)

Just a quick note before I get to the games. I'm trying to post basketball games for the week on Saturdays. This is a good time for me to post and gives everyone a couple of days notice before Monday night's games. Due to this the ranking that I post are the rankings from the previous week. For instance Duke lost this week and will surely lose the number one ranking to UConn. You are all sports fans...deal with it.

On to the picks.
