Score prediction thread for South Carolina

[Adesmar123]

Well, I've given this considerable thought. I've decided to use a more quantitative approach to the prediction. I am going to calculate a standard deviation from earlier games. From that I will draw a reversion to the mean to the current correlation. The Alpha and Beta values will be blended to form a true Gamma value.

111-9 in a close game.

CARNAC: you out there somewhere tonight? Am getting really pumped and haven't even had my Manhattan yet.
But also: came across an envelope from Funk and Wagnalls.....and I find that "Ka CHONG" keeps coming to my mind. Could you possibly go up under that ratty turban of yours and divine a question for us??

BVA: a WIMP ball...one of the very first...step up, Dude!

As I explained to the Mountain man--Superstitious !! My record on picking winners (that's why I stick with UConn)
is only exceeded by the number wrong by Bob Steele's picks. I'm not going to jinx these fine ladies---
So I'll accept the WIMP title or Coward or any other--But thanks for the encouragement!!!

Not the WOT 61
LouConn 76

MOV 15

By the way there is way too much hype for this game, IMO.

Bad for WBB

It's probably somewhere in these 100+ posts, but what does Massy say?

Massey says 77-63, UConn. MOV 14.

Here are the forecasts with 35 minutes to game time. We had 14 new forecasters, and a lot of interest. Still not sure if NewCorn was really forecasting a Gamecock win by 26 points, but I have to say I doubt it!

Tell you what: listening on RADIO with about four mins left......showing my disgust for ESPN2......and want to say congrats, hopefully not too early, to you prognosticators who said UCONN would pull away late.....what a call....awesome, folks.

Tonight's winner - UCONN and our own eebmg.

You get over your illness about 11:00 PM Monday night.

Predicted 83 points scored against our Huskies? Reality was quite a bit different, wasn't it. I actually predicted both teams would score more than they actually

south carolina 72 UCONN 63

Wrong! I'm just surprised that anyone here had predicted South Carolina would win.

 

[Buzzyboy]

Shocking that you and anyone thought South Carolina could score 83 points against this Huskie team. This UConn team has a lot of resiliency and handles pressure wonderfully. So very impressive but I guess you thought otherwise.

 

[Buzzyboy]

Unfortunately this is where UCONN gets it's butt whipped. Samuelson too sick, Williams and Collier in foul trouble all night. S. Carolina in a laugher 72-53.

100 is just too nice a round number. Basketball gods say enough is enough.

If South Carolina is laughing, I like their sense of humor. Collier did foul out but primarily because of a pretty horrific job by the referees. Some calls were beyond belief. Beyond that, UConn didn't shoot well and particularly KLS but still a double digit Huskie victory.

 

[Buzzyboy]

In an effort to appease the "basketball gods".

South Carolina 72
UConn 68

The basketball gods don't need appeasing so I hope you've learned your lesson.

Me? I predicted a UConn win by 26. At least that is what I intended. Sorry!

Great game by uconn, our guards didn't step up and that was they key to winning the game. But I will say the refs were horrible, Williams played great defense but a lot of calls were overlooked on the post entry passes. Numerous times I seen Collier and Williams slap Coates and Wilson's arms while trying to tip the ball. Also those charge call were ridiculous, Chong wasn't even set on neither call and flopped on most. It is what it is, still a lot of season left to be played

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The greatest honor ever. I owe it all to the UConn Huskies just grinding the life out of SC in a slow torture.


Also get to celebrate with 100 + 11 M&M's

You guys gave us a great game - nice to have one of those for a change. I think there were the same no calls both ways. You guys beat the crap out of Samuelson away from the ball, including a Coates cheap shot haymaker to the gut at the end. No biggie. 18 fouls to 17 is pretty even.

If you thought that UConn got the better end of the bad officiating then you were watching an entirely different game than I was. Honestly, if UConn was hot from the outside, this would have been a blow out! The fact that they managed to win with players hurt and having off nights is the sign of a real good basketball team.

I absolutely agree with you that the refs did a lousy job. Foul call on Lou on Wilson's breakaway was a phantom call. 5th foul on Pheesa on the breakaway was possibly the worst call of the game as the defender was not set and had both feet in the restricted zone under the basket.

I guess it all comes down to the eye of the beholder.

 

[NewCorn]

New Corn, just wanted confirmation - is it UConn winning 87 to 61 or am I reading it right?

YES! UCcnn!

As others have said the terrible reffing was bad for the quality of game. But probably in hindsight balanced out to be a lesser factor. In the heat of the moment of course it always seems they are focusing their worst on our / your team.

I have always really liked Aja and last night only multiplied that. She was terrific!

Ummm yea, I saw the game. Obviously you have no concept of mojo, or my job.
