Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. LSU @ Rupp Arena
**Tyler, the Tiger Tamer Edition**
1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory (+) OR loss (-). If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known with a -- [minus sign], or something else.
2. Predict the game high scorer, AND the total number of points he will score in the game. NOTE--it does not have to be a Kentucky player for this KSR point.
3. Over/Under: "30": Can Tyler Ulis R.A.P.? "You already know" he makes sweet music on the hardwood. I thought this idea worked out so well when focusing on Jamal Murray in the last game, I thought it would be fun to do with UK's other stat monster, soon to be All-American Tyler Ulis.
Once again, "R.A.P." stands for "Rebounds", "Assists", and "Points" accumulated in one game equalling ONE total number. Over the last FIVE games, Mr. Ulis has averaged a terrific "30" R.A.P. number, with a particularly strong outing @ Texas A&M where he posted a 37 R.A.P. Now, as we know, Tyler has been in a little mini-slump with his jump shot, so his numbers COULD have been better if one were to look at a different five point stretch during the season, so let's see how he bounces back as he finishes the regular season in Rupp.
What sort of fresh lyrics will Tyler lay down on wax against the Tigers? Select "Over" (+) or "Under" (-) [or "Push" (0)] "30" R.A.P. number (rebounds, assists, and points as ONE total number) for Tyler Ulis vs. LSU @ Rupp. Only need "Over", "Under", and the number difference from "30".
4. Get Ulis-ized: Much has been made of LSU's Ben Simmons' skill set, which clearly proves a very strong level of talent and performance. For much of the college basketball season, the hype surrounding Simmons has been myopic and with little team context provided, thus it has been, to many, a foregone conclusion that he is the "best" player in the sport. Lately, other players have been discussed, including the best player in the SEC, bar none, Kentucky's Tyler Ulis.
One of the things that BOTH players are well known for is their passing ability. However, Ulis is known as a low turnover guy, averaging ONLY 2 per game while dishing out 7.1 assists per game. That's a spectacular 3.6 assist to turnover ratio for Ulis. Simmons, on the other hand, can sometimes try do too much, averaging 3.3 turnovers per game while getting 5.1 assists per game. That equates to a still very good 1.5 assist to turnover ratio for Simmons.
Which All-American in the game vs. LSU @ Rupp will have the stronger assist to turnover ratio, Tyler Ulis OR Ben Simmons, AND by how much will that "more careful" player's ratio be superior to the "less careful" player's? Answers must be rounded off to ONE decimal point at most, for example, any answer such as "3.35" will be rounded up to "3.4".
Just need the player's name AND by how much better that player's assist to turnover ratio will be, compared to the other.
TB: Got a get in a little love for our wonderful Senior, newly christened Academic All-American, Alex Poythress on Senior Day. How many points, rebounds, blocks, and steals, combined as ONE total number, will Alex have in his last regular season game as a Wildcat? Just need the one total number.
Good Luck and GO BIG BLUE!!!
