* Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Arkansas, Game 2 *

The Revenge, Part II.

1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory. 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. Predict the first Kentucky player to make a 3-point field goal, and when it will occur.

TB: Kentucky's combined number of steals + blocked shots + defensive rebounds.

Good luck!

Grading the contest before I go to bed (tomorrow will be a busy day).

There is no winner of the first KSR point. Although I was closest in the sense that I had Kentucky picked with the smallest margin of victory, this has always been interpreted to require both selecting the correct winner, AND being closest on the margin. So no KSR point awarded for the first question.

Willie Cauley-Stein led all scorers with 16 points.

And, again, NOBODY picked Willie, so there is no 2nd KSR point awarded here. Group fail. Probaby should abandon the HOF induction for this one, but we'll plod on, and award the 3rd KSR point winner the HOF induction in a weak HOF class.

Sheesh...a bad pick, but correctly selected Aaron Harrison, and at the 9:01 mark of the 1st half, the closest to the 12:15 mark in the 2nd half when it actually occurred.

So with one single, solitary KSR point, Darrell KSR for the win. Sigh.

Weak effort all the way around tonight, folks.

Yeah, we all badly overestimated our own team.

I doubt I try the "optimist type" pick again this year after this mess

At the beginning of the season I was highly touted to go 40-0 this year in the KSR Game contest....alas I'll be lucky to pull out a 6 seed.

It's not even bittersweet when you pick against UK and you're correct, but truly, I would rather pick who I think will win, then forget about it until after the game, and then take a look at it. I wish I had picked Arkansas to win, but I thought UK would pull out a hard fought win. Actually, when UK had the 5-point lead late, I thought that it was playing out about right. I would have figured they would hold on, but they didn't.
