UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia - 2018

[Huskybass]

Back in the game! RichZ, think like a fish, school up.

 

[KingOPancakes]

EVERY time we play this game I feel confident I’ll do well and then I’m out of contention within the first few rounds.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

3 for 3.
Might as well weigh in before my bubble bursts, and remind myself that I was playing primarily to get the real life experience to understand the rules.
Again, perfect off-season fun in a so far pretty fun off-season

[Zanzman]

How the heck did I not know a first round pick dope

 

[ClassOf2021]

Hey guys, I had some free time so I created a spreadsheet with everyone playing and their current score, that way we can all follow along and see how we are doing. I will try to edit it as the results are announced. Here is where we stand after 4 questions; hopefully you're doing better than me down in 68th! If you see anything that needs correcting, just let me know!

C'mon, man...nobody likes Taliek!!!!!!!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

C'mon, man...nobody likes Taliek!!!!!!!

I always figured I'd get tripped up by a brain fart. At least I didn't go with Facey.

 

[champs99and04]

Um, I just wrote 'Coach K '

Thought that in the interest of maintaining the integrity of such an event we might take the time to spell out the name in its entirety, especially if we're not counting his other nickname, Brad Stevens. Food for thought OP.

It's that thing where sometimes you don't want to give any Baaaaah-d answers but then sometimes you do.

I can’t cotton to responding like a kid, it’s bleating for the sheer fun of it.

[boog204]

crap, I forgot all about Hasheem... I feel good about my reverse answers.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I know I changed from Amida to Thabeet. fml

I changed from Thabeet to Drummond...[Fail]

 

[mauconnfan]

Just as an FYI Okafor never saw 6'11 and I doubt that Brimah did either but at least people believed he was.

[ConnHuskBask]

I don't know why I care so much about this game, but I can't deny the satisfaction that comes with guessing correctly. Thanks again @jfuchs91

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Just as an FYI Okafor never saw 6'11 and I doubt that Brimah did either but at least people believed he was.

And technically, HA was simply one Hilton unit, though that might be a little like spelling Sheshefski where there's more than one way to answer correctly.

 

[Dove]

Now I see my Thabeet answer under Question 6? wtf me!!
