Each night our three basketball experts, Blake Hofstad, Daniel Evans, and Kaley Etheridge, will select their “big six” picks of the night.The picks will be separated into three categories: Best Three Plays of the Night, Wildcard Picks, Upset Pick. The “best three plays of the night” can be any three games from the night. Each correct choice in this category is worth 1 point. The “Wildcard Picks” must be games involving a top 25 team and are worth 2 points. “Upset picks” are any straight up upset (based on the odds) and are worth three points. On nights where there is a game featuring two top 25 teams the games are “must picks”. Those games will be straight up picks and will also be worth 1 point.
