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

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.

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.

Definitely the case, as long as you get most of the consensus answers for the Sheep round you have a good chance. The reverse Sheep is always chaos but lots of fun.

I'm also expecting my free throw question to cause a tiff. I didn't realize how small the list of guys to do it was, otherwise I never would have used the question

 

[JakeTheDog]

Steph having nearly 3x the votes as Donovan for the first question surprised me. I suppose the Rookie of the Year award had him on people’s minds, but I thought the hometown connection would influence more folks towards Donovan.

I was sure I nailed the sheep questions and the first one proved otherwise. Fun game, thanks!

Going to post the next question tonight, you have until then to state your case for your answer being counted or to convince me to throw out the question

9. Name a player to shoot 90+% from the FT line in a season

Did not realize when I posted that there were only 3 correct answers here; Cam Spencer, Doug Wiggins, Bobby Dulin. I remembered us tracking Spencer and Karaban both going for the 50/40/90 season 2 years ago so thought it would be fun to see the split between the 2 recent options, and thought I remembered the in game graphics of Vital shooting 90% his senior year. Did not realize that Vital actually only shot 89.9% and that Karaban missed 2 FTs during the postseason to drop below 90%

Going to preface this with two comments:
1) Appreciate you running this as it's a ton of work
2) whatever is decided on a for fun internet game is fine.

That said what argument is there to make? The question states 90% from the line for a season and vital and karaban both shot below that?

That is my feeling and how I have it set up, but there have been a few people that complained about the question so figured I'd throw it out there. And 44/87 did answer it correctly so it doesn't seem that bad anyway

Give credit where it’s due while I go have a chat with Ray Allen about his underwhelming percentages from 30 years ago…
