UConn Reverse Sheep Trivia

[navery12]

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…

 

[UConNick]

Damn I read this question as being able to answer anyone, since all the other questions specifically said “UConn” player and this one didn’t.

And then I panicked and gave a bad answer. Win some, lose some.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I was definitely stoned when I took this quiz. I think i reversed the reverse sheep. So now it's just a normal sheep.

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's a EDIT...(a tough question to judge) because you have to wiggle between NCAA record books, UConn record books, and actual season stats.

Samson Johnson shot 100% in FT for a season.

There's a helluva lot more Huskies who shot> 90% for a season if you go by raw numbers. And less than 3 by NCAA or UConn record books.

That's actually a valid point, I know I put that all questions were UConn based unless specifically said otherwise but didn't even notice that I put UConn in the question for all but this one

I thought that this would be about the sheep the guys on my floor (Fairfield 1st) stole from the farm in 1992. I’m no longer interested.

 

[champs99and04]

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of Doug Wiggins when I read that question. Spencer was the obvious answer for sheep purposes, but single season free throw shooting will always be Doug's claim to fame. Assuming the bar to qualify is one attempt per game or something similar, his 95.1% figure (39-41) will be hard to replicate.

Funny thing is, his true handicap is probably closer to 80-85% given he shot just 42-57 (73.7%) the year before. It took the perfect amount of luck/variance in both accuracy and volume to get him this record, but hey, it's still his. Fun one to tell your grandkids about.

 

[Dove]

On the 90% question, I thought I put Ray but remembered saying Cam is ***** nails so many times. Must be why I picked him. Though Bazz did it, too.

 

[Deepster]

On the 90% question, I thought I put Ray but remembered saying Cam is ***** nails so many times. Must be why I picked him. Though Bazz did it, too.

The funny thing is I was just thinking "I wonder what thought process Dove went through on the FT question......" Thank you for sharing that!
