Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Louisville 2016
Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Louisville
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: "3": Rebounding will be a big key in this year's version of Kentucky and Louisville's in-state war, unrivaled in it's intensity and potential for physicality. On the year thus far, Louisville is besting opponents on the boards by a margin of 9.3. Kentucky has also been superior to it's opponents, by a margin of 6.5. More or less, UL's average positive rebounding margin is 3 per game better than UK's.
How will it go in this year's game. Predict "Over" (+), "Under" (-), or "Push" (0) 3 rebounds for UL over UK, meaning, for example, if you believe UK will out-rebound UL by 3, you would predict "Under, 6" or "-6"; another example... if you think UL will out-rebound UK by 5, you would predict "Over, 2" or "+2".
4. "State Defense": Both Coaches, Calipari and Pitino, have been, statistically, two of the very best defensive coaches in all of college basketball over the past ten years. This year, UL is averaging 7.5 steals per game, 7.2 blocks per game, and they create 4.6 more turnovers than they commit per game. UK is averaging 7.1 steals per game, 7.1 blocks per game, and they create 6.2 more turnovers than they commit per game.
Predict which team will have the highest combined number of steals, blocks and + or - in turnover margin, and what that overall number will be after accounting for turnover margin, be it positive or negative (meaning only ONE team can win the turnover "battle" or the teams can tie, but the relative turnover margin must be calculated to get the proper number to complete this game point).
For example, if UK has 8 blocks, 5 steals, and they force 2 more turnovers than they commit, that would be a total number, for UK, of "15", due to the superior turnover margin. Continuing the same example, if UL has 6 blocks, 8 steals, yet we know from part one of this example that they commited 2 more turnovers than they forced, that would be a total number, for UL, of "12", due to subtracting their inferior turnover margin. Thus the answer, using this overall example would be "UK, 15". You need to select which team will win the battle of defenses for the state, and how big their total combined number of blocks, steals, adding or subtracting, as the case may be, their relative turnover margin to get that total number.
Tiebreaker: UK's overall field goal percentage, as a team, for the game, rounded off to ONE decimal point. For example, if they shoot 49.76 percent, you would predict "49.8%".
Good luck and GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!Last edited by Krank; 12-20-2016 at 10:59 PM.

Re: Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Louisville 2016
Sorry to piss you off, Doc. I seem to be good at that this year.
Re-read it maybe.
It's an equation: steals + blocks + or - turnover margin = "team that has the highest combined number from that equation", "THAT number". Choose the team with the highest number from that equation, and what that total combined number is. The team with a positive turnover margin ADDS to their total of blocks and steals. The team with a negative turnover margin SUBTRACTS from their total of blocks and steals. The team with the highest number is the answer, plus what that final combined number for that team IS.
You are more than welcome to take over the game after this one. I also prefer your style and Darrell's style."Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flame"

Fox led UK with 21, but was bested by UL's Snider with 22 points to lead all scorers in the game.
We almost always have a contestant who selects a player from the opposing team to lead the game in scoring, but NOT this time. Only UK players were chosen.
No point awarded here.Last edited by Krank; 12-21-2016 at 09:34 PM.

Re: Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Louisville 2016
UK had 7 steals, 4 blocks and 13 turnovers on the game.
UL finished with 4 steals, 5 blocks, and 14 turnovers.
Therefore UK won the turnover battle with a margin of +1, which means 7 steals + 4 blocks +1 for their turnover margin equals a total combined State Defense number of 12.
UL lost the turnover battle with a margin of -1, which means 4 steals + 5 blocks -1 for their turnover margin equals a total combined State Defense number of 8.
Since UK had the highest combined number, the exact correct answer is "UK, 12"
Big Blue Pappy nailed this one with a pick of "UK +12", but so did blueboss with his pick of "Cats 12".
So that's a point for both Pappy and the bossman. Excellent work, gents."Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flame"

Re: Play the KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky vs. Louisville 2016
So we got a point for Paduka and a point for Pappy...
BUT it's THE blueboss coming through with TWO points, negating any need for a tiebreaker.
A win for my man, the bossman, in THE game he MOST wanted to Cats to win all year (outside of the title game, natch).
Hey, a win is a win, blueboss. NICE WORK, dude!!!"Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flame"

A hollow victory for sure...little solace going in tomorrow and dealing with flat brims, but I'll take it.
I so wanted to take my big blue broom in to work tomorrow... our best shot at a sweep in a while comes up short.
