Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Indiana @ the 2016 NCAA Tournament Round of 32:
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: "0.8": Tyler Ulis and Yogi Ferrell, starting point guards and superstar team leaders for UK and IU, respectively, are two of the very best guards in all of NCAA Basketball. One of the reasons they stand out so well is their ability to run their teams and share the ball. Ferrell averages 5.7 assists per game to 2.6 turnovers per game, which equates to a very good 2.9 assist/turnover ratio. Ulis averages 7.1 assists per game to 1.9 turnovers per game, which equates to a stellar 3.7 assist to turnover ratio. The difference between the A/TO ratios of both players is "0.8".
Select "Over" (+), "Under" (-), [or "Push" (0)] an 0.8 difference between Tyler Ulis and Yogi Ferrell in assist/turnover ratios for this 2016 NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game between UK and IU, rounded off to ONE decimal point. This "0.8" number assumes that Ulis will have the superior A/TO ratio, but if Ferrell ends up having the better mark, select the Over/Under accordingly. For example, if Ferrell ends up besting Ulis in A/TO ratio by a mark of +0.3, then the correct answer would be "Under, 1.1", based upon the original "+ 0.8" A/TO margin that Tyler averages better than Yogi coming into this game.
4. Secretaries of Defense: As good as Yogi Ferrell for IU and Tyler Ulis for UK are as leaders and defenders, both have invaluable teammates who are known as defensive stoppers, can guard many positions, and do a lot of dirty work, with or without the ball. These two Secretaries of Defense are Troy Williams for IU and Isaiah Briscoe for UK. Both are also vital scorers and rebounders for their respective teams. Williams averages, per game, 13 points, 6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.2 steals, 2.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. Briscoe averages, per game, 9.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.15 blocks, 1 steal(s), 1.9 turnovers, 2.8 fouls. One can calculate a rough value of each Secretary of Defense to his team by adding the amount of accumulated points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals together and then subtracting the amount of turnovers and fouls committed to get a final "Value to the Team" figure.
Which player, Troy Williams for IU or Isaiah Briscoe for UK, will have the highest final "Value to the Team" number and what will that final number be for the game? Name the player that you think will have the highest "Value to the Team" number, and then what that number will be. Just add what you believe each player's amount of accumulated points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals will be and then subtract what you believe each player's amount of accumulated turnovers and fouls will be to equal the final "Value to the Team" number. Just need player's name and final "Value to Team" number.
TB: Total amount of free throws made by Kentucky in the game.
Good luck and Go BIG BLUE!!!
