Hello Boneyarders! With the start of the season just a few days away, I thought a new contest might spice things up for the season. I'm not sure this has been done before so I'm going to call it the first annual 'Over/Under Contest'. Not very creative I know but descriptive nonetheless!
The rules for this contest are fairly straightforward; for each of the categories below, make your predictions for O/U based on the numbers provided in (xx). I will record all inputs and the person with the greatest number of correct predictions at season's end wins. Please read the categories carefully. Some of them are based on absolute numbers, some are percentage based, some are averages. I have tried my best to make it as clear as possible.
Some clarifying points:
1) Team wins include the following games - regular season (31) BE tournament (3, yes I know 4 is possible but I'm assuming UConn starts in the QF round). NCAA tournament (6). This brings the total to 40 games.
2) I've broken down the categories as best I can into Team Offensive, Team Defense, and Players.
My predictions are shown below.
So here we go:
Team wins (36.5) - Over
UConn Scoring average - (82.5) - Over
Scoring Margin differential - (30.5) - Under
Offensive Field Goal % - (50.5) - Over
Assists per game (22.5) - Over
Rebounds per game (36.5) - Over
Rebounds Margin per game differential (9.5) - Over
Free Throw % (78.5) - Under
3-point % (38.5) Over
UConn Turnovers per game (11.5) - Over
Defensive Scoring Average (54.5) - Under
Blocks per game (4.3) - Over
Team Defense FG% (35.5) - Under
Steals per game (11.5) - Over
Player Stats
Number averaging double digit scoring (3.5) - Under
Number averaging double-doubles (Scoring/Rebounding) (1.5) - Over
Number averaging double digit rebounds (1.5) - Over
Number averaging greater than 10 minutes per game (8.5) - Over
Total Number of All Americans (1st team, 2nd team, or honorable mentions) (2.5) - Under
