KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Utah

Will be traveling tomorrow and Saturday, so wanted to go ahead and get this posted.

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 9: Predict whether the first half largest lead (either team) will be OVER 9, or UNDER 9, and by how many.

4. This, That, or The Other Thing: Predict whether:

This will happen: Kentucky will shoot better than 38% from 3-point range as a team

That: Utah will shoot worse than 36% from 3-point range as a team

or

The Other Thing: Both Kentucky will shoot better than 39%, and Utah will shoot worse than 36%.

If "the other-other-thing" happens (Kentucky fails to shoot better than 38%, and Utah shoots 36% or better), then there is no point awarded.

I don’t see an “other other other thing” option—UK shoots better than 38% AND Utah shoots better than 36% so I guess I’ll take The Other Thing.
TB: 12 seconds

Next time The Other Thing may be Any Other Thing. Might be the most popular and sure to produce a point.

Cats win by 27, and we have two winners with dual 22 point picks! One point each for these two lucky fellas.

One of our "J's" are always a good possibility (EJ, PJ, KJ), and this time it was KJ, Keldon Johnson with a monster game of 24 points on 8-9 shooting including a blistering 6-7 from 3-point range.

Point here!

Cats managed a 41-27, 14-point bulge courtesy of a last second 3-pointer by Tyler Herro (don't think, Tyler, just shoot). The OVER/UNDER was set at 9, and by going OVER by 5, this pick was closest for the well-earned point.

Cats shot a blistering 57.1% from 3-point range, so THIS was easily met (shoot over 38% from 3-point range.)

Utah was held to only 30.4% from 3-point range, so THAT was also met (shoot under 36% from 3-point range.)

Since both THIS and THAT were met, in this case, The Other Thing (both THIS and THAT) was the winning selection. Ha! And you guys thought it should've been "The Other-Other Thing," with neither of them happening. Ye of little faith!

ONE winner here. Way-to-go, Catfan73! Your faith has been rewarded with a KSR point!

We have a 5-way tie....let's see how the tiebreaker shakes out, shall we?

Jemarl-don't forget me next time, coach-Baker hit his 2nd of back-to-back treys with 0:37 remaining in the game for Kentucky's final point-point-point.

Kingcat's pick of 0:41 missed by only 4 seconds, closest among the "Group-of-Five," and good enough for the tiebreaking victory in overtime! Nice!
