Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Virginia Tech
It's one of the top offensive teams in the country (Virginia Tech, 9-1 and averaging 96.2 points per game) we'll be facing. Can we slow that down? Do we want to slow that down?
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: 96, as in Virginia Tech's average. Will they score OVER 96, or UNDER 96, and by how many?
4. Let's PAR-boil another: Doc's concoction a few years ago, where we take a specific player's PAR -- their POINTS scored in the game, their ASSISTS they had in the game, and their REBOUNDS in the game--we "boil" it by MULTIPLYING THEM ALL TOGETHER, i.e., Points x Assists x Rebounds to get the figure. It can produce wildly different results. Let's see how good you are with this one--Predict the PAR-boil for P. J. Washington. (What if he has no assists!) Just need a number.
Tiebreaker: Virginia Tech's 3-point FG percentage (they average 46.8%).
Good luck!

I think UK gets destroyed. We have given people open 3s all season, and this is exactly the team to exploit that.
1) UK loses by 11
2) Alexander-Walker, 24
3) Under - 4 (92 points)
4) Total: 168 (14 x 6 x 2)

Re: Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Virginia Tech
So we have two players with two points each, a good showing in any game. But in this game, we'll need to go to the tiebreaker for the winner.
Virginia Tech shot *just* about their average, 45.5% from 3-point range. Catfan73 did an outstanding job of getting that almost exactly right, and with that, captures the win. Alas, I am but a mere bridesmaid. But at least i made the wedding party!
Congrats, Catfan73! Well done!

Sometimes we have a winner who gets a random point and a tiebreaker, but sort of misses the essence of the game. In your case, you were very close on everything. Kentucky won by 7, and you thought 3, which wasn't bad. You picked Diallo to be the high scorer, and he was 1 point off. You got the other two points, and almost nailed the tiebreaker perfectly. In my view, this was one of the best performances we've seen this year. Hope you continue, although next time will you try to beat somebody else, and let me have a chance?
