UConn Reverse Sheep Trivia

[Chin Diesel]

Honestly, I wish I didn't include that question or tweaked the parameters slightly. It was a bad question and also unintentionally tricky

I went with a non-UConn player since there is only one right answer and that one is a bit tricky because he made enough for the UConn record book but didn't make enough to qualify on other lists.

I went with a non-UConn player since there is only one right answer and that one is a bit tricky because he made enough for the UConn record book but didn't make enough to qualify on other lists.

There are multiple right answers. I'll explain why I put the question once the period to submit has closed. I debated scrapping the question but I don't think that's fair since the vast majority answered it with no issue

2ish days left to get your submissions in. Will likely try to get through posting 3-4 questions a day starting this weekend, maybe more if it's not too time consuming

Results tomorrow?

That was the plan, wanted to get it started today but had my fiancee's bridal shower and a busy day. But why not start a quick preview tonight since the first question was easy to post

Gonna try to get one more question posted later tonight and then will post standings. The first few questions have been pretty weighted to one answer so not super interesting so far, it's a 38 way tie for 1st currently

 

[thekollieman]

I can’t believe I didn’t think of Andrew Hurley ‍(insert face palm emoji)!

Dang, was counting on recency bias with Newton.

 

[Dove]

Man, I thought the Greek walk on was more of a cult hero than I thought. And I forgot Hurley walked on


Damn.

He didn’t walk on brother.

He didn’t walk on brother.

I almost added an addendum that he probably wasn't a walk on.

 

[boog204]

If there ever was a "casual" test, whoa, this is it... Some of you might need to turn in your membership cards.

 

[thekollieman]

Should’ve known St. John’s looms larger in the BY collective mind than Villanova…

 

[Dogdeacon]

Should’ve known St. John’s looms larger in the BY collective mind than Villanova…

That one is pure current high profile bias. Arguably inconsistent that St John's is the #1 answer due to recency and yet Kemba looms so large in Husky mindset that he's #1 PG vs Tristen who just did it twice. I guess the answer though is when in doubt Kemba is the man

I’m loving how it’s turning out. It’s a very neat kind of insight into the fan psychology. I’d be curious to know the age demographics data on here. For some reason I’ve been assuming most people are my age (32) or older, but I really have no idea. Of course that will have a big impact on certain people’s de facto answers to the sheep questions.

The age comes into play in the next round and you're given obscure players from the early Calhoun years or before that.

No doubt - there are some in reverse sheep that I was throwing out Hail Marys for because I simply did not know.

 

[navery12]

Yup, the reverse sheep is where the fun starts. The first half the number of answers given is mostly around 5-10, the second half some questions have 40+ different answers

Thanks so much for doing this, it is fun in every round!
I think you can't WIN in the sheep round, but you can lose if you miss out on too many consensus answers. Emmet Hendry was the most enthusiastic bench guy ever and deserved more love!!
Once Reverse starts, it seems like it is then won or lost amongst a top 20% of leaders by who makes the fewest mistakes with the fun magnified by the unpredictability.
