No high school game of the week since its the first round of the playoffs and the first round of the playoffs are the worst. The first game kicks off tomorrow at 11:30 a.m., so all picks this week will be due Saturday by 11 a.m.
Congrats to Thomas on winning the U of L tailgate tent. There were a handful of submissions which went 11-1, but somehow his 52-point tiebreaker pick was the closest. This week, we're playing for gift cards to Kroger and Holy Smokes BBQ, as well as a 93.9 The Ville t-shirt and koozie.
A reminder that in order to enter the contest, all you have to do is pick a winner for each game (and a tiebreaker) either in the comments section of this post, or by emailing them to me at MikeR@espnlouisville.com. The winner has to beat all the other competitors as well as John, our puppy picker and myself. If there's a push, the prize package carriers over to the next week. One entry per person.

Our puppy of the week is Jo (ignore the spelling on the tweet). Here she is hanging out with Brian Hall and Nick Valvano at the ESPN Louisville studio.
Meet Joe from @kyhumane. She looks to take down John and Mike this week in the Puppy Pick em's. https://t.co/oS79wQhiM0 pic.twitter.com/O7OqEH7h1G
