Question #9

Name a current NCAA basketball referee.

(I realize now that I've really no way of corroborating whether any of these guys are active or not, so everyone gets a point)

 

[OkaForPrez]

Teddy V!

 

[Tenspro2002]

I relied on a better, less recent KO outburst for name recognition of my referee.

 

[Deepster]

Oh Deep, poor Deepster...

The lead narrows!!

 

[Minicoop69]

I had a hard time with this one.

 

[Mano]

(I can't believe nobody chose these)

Question #10:

Name a movie starring an NBA player.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I would be shocked if this isn't at least 18 people with the same answer.

 

[Mano]

He Got Game (-17) : Matrim55, Tenspro2002, partyATkemba, DaveHuskiesFan, Cassius Klaiber, KingOPancakes, Minicoop69, jfuchs91, KemBuckets21, CTBasketball, mauconnfan, Deepster, KOisKing, Giscombe12, bcisco, david, breezy

Space Jam (-2) : RayIsTheGOAT, navery12

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (0) : Chin Diesel

How does @RayIsTheGOAT pick Space Jam over He Got Game?!

 

[Mano]

Question #11:

Name a UConn player that was left-handed.

 

[Mano]

Some interesting replies for this one:

Righthanders who are definitely not lefthanders:

Taliek Brown (0) : partyATkemba

A.J. Price (0) : Cassius Klaiber

Kevin Freeman (0) : Chin Diesel

Ben Gordon (0) : breezy

Part of me wants to penalize these answers, SMH.

 

[Mano]

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

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

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

 

[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

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!

Haywood Workman (-1) : Matrim55

@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.
