Selection Sunday is here! Colgate will find out who it plays and where... Colgate has a good team and could surprise someone. They lost by 3 to both NC State and Pitt, beat Syracuse by 15. As mentioned before, we will continue this competition until Colgate either wins the NCAA Championship or is eliminated from the Dance! Kudos to efg72 and longsuffering for being the Winning the Patriot League part of this competition! You will be inducted and enshrined in the Crossposrts BB Pickem Hall of Fame at Winter Homecoming in 2023! To make it interesting and determine the final standings we are going to make it possible for a poster to earn 6 points! A.) Pick the outright winner (no points given) for 1 point.B.) Choose OVER or UNDER (the expected point total) for 2 points.C.) Pick the winner given the point spread for 3 points.I will rely on Ky Crusader 75 for making sure I have this explained properly! Current standings are: 1 efg72 68 – 31 longsuffering 3 rgs318 67 – 32 5 hc87 66 – 33 hcnation Ky Crusader 75 7 Tom 65 - 34 8 Crucis#1 63 – 36 9 Class83 62 - 37 10 Crosser 57 – 42 11 hc99 61 - 35 12 HCFC45 58 - 37 13 Worcester Gray 65 - 26 14 DiMarz 60 – 31 15 alum 59 - 32 16 bigfan 52 - 34 17 nycrusader2010 49 – 24 18 jflare 19 - 25 19 hceconhist 13 - 17 20 thecrossisback 4 – 8 (Spectator Policy) 21 hc6774 5 – 3 22 Sons of Vaval 3 – 1 CHC8485 24 notjuanjones (not that you asked me..) 1 - 0

First, I want to thank longsuffering for suggesting that I do something to allow posters to accumulate more points to make it more interesting and a chance to advance in the standings! Second, I wanted to recognize our co-champions for their dedication and accomplishments during the PL regular season and playoffs as they certainly earned their 1st place finish... so I came up with the 3 pick system to have some fun and allow posters to move up in the standings! Third, since I do not know where to look or how to find the over/under and point spread, I will ask our resident handicapper KY Crusader 75 to post them before any of us makes our 3 picks! So, please post your 3 picks after KY posts the over/under and point spread.... should be interesting!!! Colgate #14 has drawn Wisconsin #3... Stay tuned....

The beauty of point spreads and over/unders is that if you think they are inaccurate you can just use you superior knowledge to capitalize on the opportunity. For our competition we will use
Colgate +7.5 points
Over/Under= 139.5 total points scored by two teams combined

Colgate to win outright The over. (74-72) Just so we understand and others will post this way.... You are picking: Colgate (for 1 point) Over (for 2 points) Colgate (for 3 points)

What if the point spread changes throughout the week? Not sure about that... I'll let Ky Crusader 75 comment on whether it does or not...

Read the earlier post
"For our competition we will use
Colgate +7.5 points
Over/Under= 139.5 total points scored by two teams combined"
The stone carvers are done-these shall not change.

Re the over/under of 139.5: In Wisconsin games the two teams scored 140+ in 13 of 31 games. In Colgate games it was 21 of 34.

Watching the play in game at Dayton!!! It was 6 years ago tonight that I was fortunate to be on the trip to Dayton and then Spokane!!! For me, it was the fantasy trip of a lifetime!!! Also met KY Crusader and some other Crossspoters who were in attendance!!! Great times, will they ever return to the hill???

Wisconsin Undah Colgate
Chose under on the flimsiest of notions that both teams will be uptight at the start leading to a slow start to the scoring. Pressure should be on Wisconsin in front of all the Yon Yonsons in attendance.
