Not much you can say about yesterday's regular season ending games other than "this is the PL where on any given day/night any team can beat any other team"! Our collective group of "high IQ basketball prognosticators" had the worst day of the season... 13 posters were 1 - 4 with only Colgate saving them from going 0 - 4! Kudos to hcnation, hc99 and bigfan for at least coming out on the plus side at 3 - 2! Looking ahead, the PL Tournament begins on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 with American coming to HC and the winner going to Navy on Thursday!

A reminder
Hi Everyone,
Here we go, time for The Jerome! Our annual college basketball conference tournament shenanigans are back for a 22nd straight year (except the one we skipped, and the year the games didn’t finish).
Your challenge is to select the winners of the 32 Division I men’s college basketball tournaments that kick off early next week and wrap up Selection Sunday evening.
If you’ve done this before, go to the picks form here (link). If you need The Jerome crash course, go here (link).
Deadline for the first set of picks is Wednesday, March 2 at noon eastern. Deadline for the second set is Monday, March 7 at 6 p.m. eastern. The Week Two entry form will be released later.
Some notes for this year:
A few league tournaments will start with games between bottom-seeded teams before the picks deadline. If this helps you, fantastic. (Editor’s note: it probably won’t help you.) Double check to make sure the team you’re choosing is in its bracket. NCAA penalties, realignment disqualifications, and changing tournament formats are all in play here. The best way to score points in The Jerome is to give yourself 32 chances to score.
Hopefully, we’re past this. But just like last year: once you make your pick, that’s your team, ride or die or pause. If COVID bumps your team from a tournament, you’re bumped from scoring points. Rub your rabbit’s foot and hope for the best.
As in past years, we thrive on participation. Invite your neighbors, colleagues, readers, listeners and followers, even if they can’t pronounce Oscar Tshiebwe’s name properly. There is room for everyone in The Jerome.
If you have folks who want in, share the links in this email. A follow on Twitter (@thejeromexxi and @sendit_Interns) and an eye on our hashtag (#TheJerome) are good resources, too. Our interns are especially helpful for questions and social media pointers.
Last thing: I am the judge and jury for any conflicts. I will try to be quick if I need to go #ToTheMonitor (h/t to many, but especially @d1scourse).
Enjoy The Jerome, everyone!
-The Keeper

After Satirday’s Misadventure, I’m consulting Ms Cleo before making my picks.
When I tried to reach her for the picks, I learned unfortunately she has passed onto the great unknown, so maybe I should just flip a coin. 🤔😊
