Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Arkansas

[Darrell KSR]

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 12. Will the biggest first half lead by either team by OVER 12, or UNDER 12, and by how many?

4. Mensa or Not? Mensa's requirement for membership is for a score at or above the 98th percentile, which on the Stanford-Binet IQ test, is 132. We're going to take our own IQ -- Immanuel Quickley -- and take his POINTS + ASSISTS + REBOUNDS average of 8.6 per game total, and see if he can join Mensa by scoring 132% of that in the game. To join Mensa, IQ will need 11.4 PAR (so 12). If IQ's PAR is 12 or above, he "MENSA'D." If it is below 12, he did NOT.

MENSA or NOT. That's all you have to tell.

Tie Breaker: number of FTs Tyler Herro will attempt in the game.

Everybody saw a Kentucky blowout occurring, with double-digit victories assured. At least this one was the most conservative, and gets the first point.

Well, I believe this is a first. You could have selected virtually any score total for Tyler, and you would win this point since you are the only one that chose him for the game-high scorer. So, since nobody else selected him, you get the point even without a point prediction total. If anybody else had selected Tyler, and put any point total down, they would have won.

I hope I have this one right, but I show Arkansas holding a 12 point lead twice in the first half. They led 35 to 23 with 2:18 to play after an Isaiah Joe three point jumper, and then again, 37 to 25 after another Isaiah Joe jumper with 1:16 to play. So the over/under number should have been zero, and -1 was the closest to earn the point.

I was really very hopeful for that Quickley would Mensa here, with additional playing time possible and I thought a fairly favorable matchup with Arkansas. Of course, that goes to show you what I know. He had two points, one assist, and one rebound in 15 min. of play, and did not come close to his average, much less hundred 32% of it. Accordingly, he did NOT Mensa.

One point for each of these smart guys.

And with three points in the contest, Kingcat had a whale of a game and walks away with the Hall of Fame win. Man, he is on fire. Congratulations, Kingcat.

The definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome is why I made the insane comment... but then, some other mental lapse kicked in and I failed to list the points.

King is on fire, gonna need more than a point or two per game to walk away with any further wins...

Congrats, kingcat.
As Mr. Cartwright said, you sir, are on fire...

[kingcat]

I wish I could say it was talent and brains but it isnt.

And I don't see how it helps but it must be my good looks.
