Anyone down for another one of these if I set it up? Been a few years since we've done it, and with successful seasons there's some new fun questions

Anyone down for another one of these if I set it up? Been a few years since we've done it, and with successful seasons there's some new fun questions

UConn Reverse Sheep Trivia 2025

Rules:

• There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-13) and Reverse Sheep questions (14-25).
• For Sheep questions (1-13), you want to answer what you think will be given most often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a Duke player" a good answer is Christian Laettner and a bad answer might be Nick Horvath.
• For Reverse Sheep questions (14-25), you want to give the answer that you think will be given least often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a basketball conference in the NCAA," the ACC might be a terrible answer while the Horizon League could be a good choice.
• In Sheep questions, you get one negative point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and six other people said Laettner, all seven of you would get -7 points.
• In Reverse Sheep questions, you get one positive point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. If you and ten other people said the ACC, you would get 11 points.
• Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer. Incorrect answers for Sheep questions will be worth 0.
• The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be –7 + 11 = 4.
• No using Google, Wikipedia, etc. if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this (i.e. don't use them to cheat).
• Fill out the Google Form to submit your answers. Do not post your responses in this thread or tell anyone else.
• Answers are due by Friday May 16 at 11:59PM ET. Answers will be revealed over the following days

All questions refer to the UConn Men's Basketball program unless otherwise specified.

Sheep Questions (1-12):

Did I win?

 

[JonnyRI]

Just submitted! Thank you for doing this! A great offseason BY tradition.

 

[Mooch82]

Thanks for doing this @navery12 ! No rules against using the same answer for multiple questions, correct?

Nope, can use the same answer multiple times

 

[JonnyRI]

@navery12 not sure if on purpose or not, but some of the questions that are on the Google doc are different than the ones listed at the top of the thread.

 

[Dove]

I just asked my mom and she says I can do it.

Thank you.

Thanks, just fixed the questions on this thread. Shifted some questions around on the doc when I realized the 5 assists and 5 rebound question had way fewer answers than I thought

Glad it wasn’t just me. I double checked like 3 times to make sure I wasn’t screwing up my responses.

Couldn’t you game the reverse sheep questions by choosing the most obvious answer for each one?

I answered my own question: Yes, but multiple people may be employing that strategy, making it a self-defeating approach.

 

[champs99and04]

Nice job with this, though I'm curious to see how many people actually play by the rules in the reverse sheep section.

 

[aburks41]

Love this game

 

[jfuchs91]

Thank you, @navery12 - much more fun to play than to run it!

 

[microfich]

Always fun, thanks, @navery12.

 

[Dove]

Will submit soon.

For the free throw question, i'm hoping it was open to nba answers since it didnt specify.

All questions are about UConn unless it was explicitly stated, you can edit your submission though to change answers

I should’ve figured, but the other questions felt more specific “name UConn player that did X” “name UConn team that did X” so I wasn’t sure. I’ll just accept the L on that question.

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