I prefer to use the person that is simply the closest to the total points scored, as opposed to the closest without going over. The tiebreaker is to be used, if after every game(including the Monday night game) 2 or more people have picked the same amount of games correctly. Each person should also write their name and their guess for the total points scored in the Monday night game in the spaces provided. If they were to lose by 5 or more the pick would be incorrect.Įach participant should put a check mark in the box provided beside the team that they think will "cover the spread". The participant picks Cleveland at +4.5(underdog), Cleveland can either win, or lose the game by up to 4 points and the pick is correct. Keep in mind that if a person picks the underdog, that team does not have to win, but instead can not lose by more points than the point spread. We will always use half-point-spreads so that there will never be any pushes/ties. In this example, for a pick to be correct, the favorite must win by 5 or more points. The team that has the minus sign is favored by 4.5 points and the team with the plus sign is the underdog by 4.5 points. If this is the case we will come up with the spread ourselves, this will ensure you have the full week to get your pool entries in.īeside each team's name you will see something like -4.5 or +4.5. You will then pass copies out to potential participants of your pool, having each participant try to correctly pick which team will cover the spread.ĭue to not knowing whether a key player will be able to participate in a game, there are some instances where the linesmakers may delay releasing the spreads until later in the week. Every week, on either Sunday or Monday, we will update the next week's sheet with the current Point Spread for each game. Clark became the first women's NCAA D-I player to hit 1,000 points in two separate seasons in that game, as she exploded for 28 points, 15 assists and four rebounds.Our Spread 'Em pool is also known as an ATS or Against the Spread Pool. Iowa reached the title game after Clark put together a dominant performance in a 95-68 semifinal win over Michigan. Clark's longtime running mate knocked down two of her four 3-pointers in the final five minutes, giving the Hawkeyes the push they needed to hold down a Nebraska team that was hungry for its first Big Ten Women's Tournament title since 2014. Overtime, though, was largely the Kate Martin show. The Hawkeyes closed regulation on a 10-2 run over the final 2:12, and Clark scored or assisted on every single one of those points. But when Iowa needed a rally most, it came through. Nebraska had control for much of the game, with Natalie Potts and Alexis Markowski leading the way en route to a combined 44 points. It was a tale of two halves - plus an extra period - for Iowa star Caitlin Clark, who scored only four points over the first 20 minutes before finishing with 34 to go along with 12 assists, seven rebounds and three steals. Iowa won its third consecutive Big Ten Women's Tournament in thrilling fashion Sunday, as the Hawkeyes completed a furious fourth-quarter comeback to force overtime and eventually defeat Nebraska, 94-89.
