UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia-ish Game

[Tenspro2002]

Marcus Williams (-8) : Matrim55, DaveHuskiesFan, jfuchs91, CTBasketball, Deepster, KOisKing, Giscombe12, david

Tyler Olander (-5) : RayIsTheGOAT, KingOPancakes, Minicoop69, navery12, KemBuckets21

Johnnie Selvie (-3) : Tenspro2002, mauconnfan, bcisco

I am shocked that Selvie, given his cult hero status around here, didn't get more votes.

 

[Mano]

Yea, when I was fashioning the questions I thought for sure JohnnyTime would run away with it. But then, I also didn't think I'd get a bunch of righties as answers.

John Higgins (-5) : RayIsTheGOAT, jfuchs91, Deepster, bcisco, david
Teddy Valentine (-4) : navery12, Chin Diesel, mauconnfan, breezy
Mike Stuart (-3) : Tenspro2002, DaveHuskiesFan, CTBasketball
Karl Hess (-2) : Minicoop69, KOisKing
Jim Burr (-2) : partyATkemba, Giscombe12 (Burr apparently retired)
Brian O'Connell (-2) : Cassius Klaiber, KingOPancakes
Joey Crawford (-1) : KemBuckets21
Haywood Workman (-1) : Matrim55

@Minicoop69 finally didn't choose the popular pick.

Joey Crawford has never been an NCAA ref.

 

[Mano]

Joey Crawford has never been an NCAA ref.

Ha! I'm dumb, lol.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Ha! I'm dumb, lol.

Also, loners still get 0 points, not -1.

As far as I know, there's no penalty for giving an incorrect answer in the "Sheep" portion though.

Keep it up!

@Minicoop69 finally didn't choose the popular pick.

@BUHusky throws the red flag. Clearly I didn't do my research thoroughly enough. You still get the point though KemBuckets21 since I already said everyone gets a point.

 

[Giscombe12]

Damn, I started so promising.

This is great. Thanks Mano.

[CTBasketball]

I was going to pick GW, but then realized Minnesota was coached by Pitino's son. Considering the BY likes to bring up his father's sexual tendencies often, I went with the Golden Gophers. Damn.

 

[breezy]

I couldn't f'in think of another winner. I knew WVU won it a long time ago and was just hoping it was within the last 10 years. Didn't think it'd be that close though.

After the next question I'm gonna take a little break for a while. The next question is of course the double whammy bonus question.

 

[Mano]

Bonus 2x-Points Sheep Question #13:

Name the last team the UConn Women's team lost to.

 

[mauconnfan]

GREAT job Mano this is some fun even though I suddenly am feeling the cellar closer to me feet.

 

[CTBasketball]

Are Tenspro and I the same person?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Are Tenspro and I the same person?

I don't know. Have we ever been seen in the same room together?

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'm now relieved that incorrect "Sheep" answers are being given zero points, because this bonus 2x question only has one answer, and I got it right.

 

[Mano]

Stanford (12x2) : Matrim55, Tenspro2002, RayIsTheGoat, Cassius Klaiber, navery12, jfuchs91, CTBasketball, mauconnfan, KOisKing, bcisco, david, breezy

Incorrect Answers:

Notre Dame (0) : partyATkemba, DaveHuskiesFan, KingOPancakes, Minicoop69, Chin Diesel, Giscombe12

Baylor (0) : KemBuckets21

Rutgers (0) : Deepster

This is gonna be a big turning point in everyone's game I have a feeling. Anything can happen in reverse Sheep though, so buckle up!

 

[Minicoop69]

I didn't. I chose notre dame

 

[Minicoop69]

I am no longer in the lead. Gosh dangit!!!!

 

[breezy]

reverse sheep is gonna be wild

 

[Mano]

We have a new leader!!! Congrats, for now, @jfuchs91. And just as importantly, @Matrim55 is no longer in last place! Congrats to both.

I'll be back in a little while to try and finish off as many as I can tonight.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Yeah, I originally thought wrong answers in "Sheep" wouldn't be penalized, but the Trivia Master has decided otherwise.

In fact, for the Adidas question, I cheekily went with Maryland despite knowing the answer was wrong, hoping that other people would pick Maryland as a wrong answer. It didn't pan out either way.

For "Reverse Sheep", wrong answers are definitely penalized.

 

[Tenspro2002]

The intrigue in "Reverse Sheep" will be: did people pick the obvious answer, assuming that nobody else would pick the obvious answer to avoid matching?

And if everyone else thinks that way, it's better to pick the more obscure answer. But if everyone thinks that way, then the obvious answer is better.

It's an endless loop.
