5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week Four recap (NCAA Picks)…

Not the best day for the participants, as many went below .500 in their picks, while others did okay overall. Plus, after having lead for most of time Michael Pichan and Andrew C. are now following Lauren Brownlow, who with one of the few above .500 pickings moves ahead of the pair by 1/2 a game. But as I keep saying and will once again repeat, there are over 150 picks left and this is anyone’s race.
