Hall of Fame Game Contest #24 @USCjr 2/8/22

1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory (+) OR loss (-). If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known.

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. Chicken PARM: the total points plus assists plus rebounds (PAR) for South Carolina leading scorer Erik Stevenson divided by his minutes played. (For example, a PAR of 20 in 30 minutes would be .667)

4. Total minutes played by Kentucky’s bench players

Tb: Total points scored by both teams combined for the game

You sure about that? It all divided by min played. That means if he plays 20 min his pts plus assists plus rebounds needs to be 600. If he does that I suspect we lose, he is high score and is the entire ESPN top 10

+ 10. I'm so bad at this.

Ty Ty 2 - 2 (Twenty-two)

3. Chicken PARM: the total points plus assists plus rebounds (PAR) for South Carolina leading scorer Erik Stevenson divided by his minutes played. (For example, a PAR of 20 in 30 minutes would be .667)

Oh, let's go with a low one. .500

4. Total minutes played by Kentucky’s bench players

45


Tb: Total points scored by both teams combined for the game

150

I always like to make my pick without looking at anyone else's. More fun for me that way.

But it does result in...an apology to Flounder and Doc, for duplicating their picks (Chicken PARM and bench minutes). And a "gee, do you think you are perfect" moment, picking a score prediction immediately between two other numbers lol.

Love it.

I do the same so it doesn’t influence my guessing.

I do the same. For me, matter of honor. I hate the "Price is Right" picks. But I do go look back at others picks afterward....for curiosity sake

I like to try to go first, hoping to lead others astray. So far it’s not working very well.

I pick Oscar to be high scorer three games in a row then decide to pick someone else this game. Sigh.

Grading

1.UK by 10, point to Darrell
2. Tshiebwe and Bryant, 18, point to Flounder
3. 16/22 = .727, point barely to Kingcat. (He said .705, off by .022; catfan73 said .75, off by .023)
4. 37, point to blueboss and kingcat

Tb: not needed, but answer was 162

Winner, by the narrowest margins (and please double check my math) is Kingcat

Does not change anything but it was Bryant, not Cousinard, with 18. Cousinard had 17 per boxscore

Thanks.

Great job, Kingcat. Really good picks.

I had to chuckle this morning. I had forgotten I picked a game margin that could only win if it was exact, going between 9 and 11. See, if I ever peeked, no way would I have picked 10 and won a point lol.
