UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia - 2022

[CardiacAndre7]

Ugh, picking Cincy over Cuse really screwed me.

 

[Chin Diesel]

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.

 

[Tenspro2002]

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

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

 

[JonnyRI]

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.

Damn. For some reason I never even considered Giff.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

After the K fest last year? I was a non-stop coach K party all season long. Besides, you never forget your first.

I was helped along, by thinking that we'd beaten Coack K twice, completely ignoring that Georgia Tech was an avenged-loss victory in the 2004 Finals.

 

[HuskyHawk]

As with Tate - Kemba, I switched from Nadav to Neils, figuring he'd be more relevant to more of the people here. So lessons for all - recency bias matters in the sheep phase.

 

[McLovin]

Ray Allen was the top pick for lottery pick question (I chose Bouknight using the recency theory). Sometimes it works. Others not so much!

 

[UConNick]

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

For that question my answer was “Coach K (pls don’t make me try to spell it out)”

 

[Get a Job]

For that question my answer was “Coach K (pls don’t make me try to spell it out)”

I don't mean to brag (yes I do), but I tried spelling it out and got it right on my first try!

 

[aburks41]

It's gonna be really funny when @phillionaire makes a huge comeback because he picks the most obvious answer in the reverse sheep round while everyone else is stacked up on the "sneaky" pick they hoped no one else thought of

For that question my answer was “Coach K (pls don’t make me try to spell it out)”

I learned this way, Krzyz (Krazy with 2 z's) and "jewski" (there are enough Polish descendents in CT for that to be an easy root to remember)

 

[Get a Job]

I learned this way, Krzyz (Krazy with 2 z's) and "jewski" (there are enough Polish descendents in CT for that to be an easy root to remember)

But that doesn't yield the correct spelling...

Incorrect answer of 4 I can understand. 7 I'm not too sure about but probably 2 reasonable years I'm forgetting. 0 on the other hand...
