UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia - 2022

[Tenspro2002]

And yet you went with Tate over Kemba

Tate is by far, by far, the most famous buzzerbeater in our program's history, and there isn't even a close second. How 90% of this board picked something else is just unfathomable. I will defend that pick to the grave.

Gotta think that many contributors to this board weren’t even born yet when Tate hit that shot though. Know your competition

With the over 50 crowd, sure. But Kemba's stepback is one of the nastiest buzzer beaters in college history and it gets replayed 1000 times every single March in the national media

Yeah, I'd say just by exposure it's the most iconic for sure

 

[aburks41]

Yeah, I'd say just by exposure it's the most iconic for sure

There are a few buzzer beaters that get played during every tournament preview. The Jim Valvano NC St team, Laettner, Kris Jenkins, and Kemba. Every single time the calendar turns to March 1st you will see those 4 over and over and over again

Damn. I thought people would be biased by recency and ease of spelling.​

That was my thought too. In retrospect I should have just wrote "Coach K".

Somehow quoted @jfuchs91 meant @Tenspro2002

 

[McLovin]

I had more faith in people than I should have given we just finished a 12 page thread on Purvis

I thought Purvis was a slam dunk for sure

 

[JonnyRI]

Can we get a scoreboard check?

 

[Mano]

I have -215, you’re welcome.

Ugh, picking Cincy over Cuse really screwed me.

As it should have. When you are trying to guess which is the most common answer for group think go with the low hanging fruit. Yeah, I just wrote that.

lol I was 3 years old during the Dream Season and even I appreciate its significance.

And this is Sheep Trivia, not "give your own opinion" trivia. How would the young people not defer to what should be the most common answer?

 

[navery12]

I can't believe this is even a debate. The answer to a buzzer beater is Kemba every single time

 

[Marbles90]

Can we get a scoreboard check?

After a quick (unofficial) scan, It looks like there are are 4 that have gotten the top answer on all six questions which I believe puts them at -268:

99NCAA
Calamity17
Cassius Klaiber
Hungryhusky99

Yep can’t believe I went with Shabazz and not Kemba. Thought of the Gampel Florida game and the Nova game from 35 feet and figured a younger BY crowd may go that direction.

I really should have thought of Corny Thompson instead of Tim Coles. Maybe I wasn't positive when he stopped playing. I can never think of Wes (or spell it), before my time.

 

[M.S.G.]

I definitely mis-read the pre-Calhoun question

I was a bit nervous that “Wes B” wouldn’t be enough of an answer. Thankfully it squeeked through.

Thanks for this. I've got a running tally going as well and will have a full breakdown after the bonus double sheep round concludes.

For the same reason young kids run on your grass. Screw you old man.

Here, and with Coach K, is where we can all give proper thanks to @jfuchs91 for a "hand-scored" contest.
