[Bluenoser]

UConn 95 - Creighton 53

 

[JAMBall]

UConn - 96
Bluejays - 54
MOV - 42

Limited by my palindrome palette, UConn 84-48
MOV = 36

 

[The CDR-Ret]

UConn 91 - Blues 44
MoV = 47 pts

Limited by my palindrome palette, UConn 84-48
MOV = 36

93 - 39 would work...
54 MoV?!?
83 - 38; MoV = 45; I would go with MoV whose digits add to 9.

UConn 91
Creighton 50
MOV 41

 

[broooce]

UConn 88, Creighton 44. MOV 44.
Go Huskies!!

All palindrome scores have MOVs that are divisible by 9 and have digits that add up to 9. For example, MOVs of 9,18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, which are the only reasonable choices for UConn games. That limits the available universe of reasonable scores, which I have to recycle.

One game I forgot to enter, Seton Hall, ended up in the first palindrome score of the season, 84-48, which is likely what I would have picked. Darn!

I don't think UConn beats Creighton by 63, 54 or 45, so that leaves me with the 36 MOV option (84-48).

 

[Nyskier]

UConn. 85
Creighton. 50

Mov=. 35

A math guy! The absolute difference between the integers any double-digit number combination multiplied by 9 would be the MOV in this example. So 84 is (8-4)*9 = 36.

BTW the decimal equivalents of elevenths are also multiples of 9: 1/11=.0909, 2/11 = .1818, 3/11 = .2727, etc. So if Azzi has made 6/11 3-pointers, then she's made .5454 of her shots, or usually said as 54.54% (rounded 55%) from the arc.

The crazy things we can all learn on the BY board.
