* Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Thomas More *

A new season begins with the first exhibition. And we count it here!


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. Predict where Kentucky will have OVER or UNDER 4½ players score in double figures, and by how many (for example, if you think 4 Kentucky players will score double figures, you'd say, UNDER, by ½. There's an old "Horatio" The Andy Griffith Story here I won't bore you with).

4. Diallo Double. Rather than count a player's PAR (points + assists + rebounds), we'll just see the introduction to Kentucky basketball of Hamidou Diallo by counting his POINTS + REBOUNDS, i.e., his "Diallo Double." We just need a number for this one.

Tiebreaker: Kentucky 3-point FG shooting percentage.

Good luck!

The boss nails the point spread on the nose, UK winning 103-61. First point of the young season to blueboss.

blueboss serving notice he will be a force to be reckoned with this season, winning point # 2. Kevin Knox scored 27 to lead all scorers, and missing by a single bucket (I thought you were going to be way too high, but you weren't) was terrific.

Point # 2 to blueboss, same as point # 1.

Cats had five players in double figures, but two more with 9 points each so it could have been a lot more. Correct answer here was OVER, by ½.

One point each to:

Diallo Double was 12 points, 4 rebounds for a total of 16.

One point for the leading scorer in UK history, who nailed this on the nose.

And with two points to nobody else's more than one, no need to go to the tiebreaker, as blueboss is the consensus winner for the opening contest.

First Hall of Fame Induction, 2017-18 season: Blueboss. Congrats!

By the way, we are going to skip the game for charity in the contest. Since there is no TV at all for the game, we're going to do it all for goodwill for that game only.

Next KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest will be Nov. 3 v Centre, on the SEC Network, 7pm.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Love cashing a ticket on the first race... playing with house money.
