KSR Game Contest, Kentucky v Alabama SEC Tourney Edition
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 Late Pi Day, 3.14: Pick whether Ashton Hagans will have OVER 3.14 more assists than turnovers or UNDER, and by how many. (Example - 6 assists, 2 turnovers = OVER, by 0.86)
4. Mack or Smack? Tevin Mack scored 22 points to lead Alabama to an upset win over Kentucky in January. Will he "Mack," and score 17 or more, or "Smack," and be held to 16 or fewer points?
TB - time remaining in the game when the winning team takes the lead for good. This can vary from 0.1 to 39:59.

Re: KSR Game Contest, Kentucky v Alabama SEC Tourney Edition
By the way, we're going to let the math stand as you calculated. In other words, if you did the math and your number doesn't come out to an exact number, that's fine. It might end up being a winner because of it.
For example, let's pretend that Ashton Hagans dishes 12 dimes, and commits four turnovers. That's a +8 for the day, which is exactly 4.86 over the number. If someone chose over, 4.76, or over, 5.14, miscalculating the math, they would beat someone who chose over, 3.86, but lose to someone who chose over, 4.86.
That explanation is probably not necessary, and more confusing than helpful. But I wanted to go on record before the game, just in case.

Lots of correct picks here. Amazingly, after scoring 22 points against Kentucky (and I think, 22 the day before), Mack was held to.....0. Smack, baby.

Re: KSR Game Contest, Kentucky v Alabama SEC Tourney Edition
Harlow and Kingcat both notched two points in the contest, and a two-way tie must go to the tiebreaker.
Cats took the lead for good with 14:09 remaining in the first half (34 minutes, 9 seconds left in the game) on a Keldon Johnson layup to put UK up, 11-9 and gave them a lead they never relinquished thereafter.
Kingcat thought it would be 22:33, not bad, but Harlow figured UK would lead almost from start to finish, and had an outstanding pick of 3:25 into the game, or 36 minutes, 35 seconds remaining. Dang close, and a great pick for the winner of the first postseason KSR Game Contest, 2019!

Dang....I had Herro and missed total by a pt. Usually that is good enough but not when somebody (Kingcat) plunks a perfect pick
