KSR Game Contest - Kentucky v Tennessee, SEC Tourney Semifnals

[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: Take the Washington/Travis Duo, and add their points + rebounds, then compare it with the Schofield/Williams points + rebounds. Predict whether "UK" will be OVER 8 fewer than "TN", or UNDER 8 fewer than tn, and by how many? (I.E. - Tennessee duo is predicted to have 8 more Points + Rebounds than UK duo).

4. UT-Bone or DE-Bone?: Predict whether the the Tennessee point guard will do equal or better than a 3.1/1 assist/turnover ratio (UK gets UT-boned), or worse than 3.1/1 (Cats DE-bone him). He averages 6.2 assists/2.0 turnovers per game for the season.

TB - total number of free throws attempted, both teams combined

[Doc]

1) UK by 9

2) Tyler with 20

3) Under 2 (meaning the TN duo has 10 more than the UK duo)

4) De-bone

tb 44 Without knowing the officials!?!????? If its Pat Adams, add 10 to my prediction J/K

[Darrell KSR]

*** The OVER/UNDER is particularly confusing today. So for those that haven't played yet, just identify how many you think the UT duo will have more than UK (could be negative).

I'm getting a sinking feeling this prediction will be a good one.

I'm getting a sinking feeling this prediction will be a good one.

Can I get partial credit? I had a feeling as the game grew near it would be a nail-biter UT would win by...about 4. OK, so my pick didn't show it. Harlow's did, and he gets the point.

Schofield led all scorers with 21, nice pick here for the point.

4. UT-Bone

Williams and Schofield combined for 41 points, 10 rebounds, or 51.
Washington and Travis combined for 27 points, 11 rebounds, or 38.
The "total" was set at +8 for UT, and they went...5 over that (or +13 total).

Kinda glad I got this one right, as I screwed it up for everyone else lol.

Jordan Bone had a super solid game, 18 points on 4-8 shooting and 8-8 FT line, with 5 assists and only 1 turnover. So he UT-Boned us.

Everyone got this right, and I interpreted DanISSELisdaman's post as a UT-bone as well, although it was a little fuzzy, since De-boned would be bone, too. Dan, if you meant De-bone, just tell us, and I'll fix it.

Looks like my interpretation won't make a difference, as there was a 3-way tie of pickers with 2 points each:

Darrell KSR, UKFlounder, and Harlow.

Tiebreaker was number of FTs attempted, both teams.

UT shot 25 free throws, Kentucky 19, for a total of 44.

My pick of 50 edged Flounder's pick of 54, and Harlow assumed the officials would let them play a little more.

So I get the "W."
