Beginning today and running through the end of the season, the Pac-10 SB Nation Blogs will have a Basketball Pick'Em contest ran by Patrick Evans of Arizona Desert Swarm. The plan is to have a open thread in the FanPost section every week to root on Building the Dam's picks, and root against everyone else's.

Our Week 1 picks are below. We will post the other blog's picks as they become available and try to update the standings after each game. I will be in the comments section trying to give updates as much as possible.
