With its record now at 12-14, URI is now condemned to have a non winning season. The best record the Rams can hope for is 15-15 which means the Rams win three of their last four and that is a stretch. The contest winner comes down to Rhody72 and Billyboy78 with the big advantage resting with BillyBoy.
Not only is BillyBoy in strong position to win the overall contest, but he is also in contention on the both bonus contests - team scoring and average attendance. If he pulls off this triple win, he gets a cash prize of $600!! Billyboy you are killing me.
Actually it is still possible however unlikely that they can finish 16-14 and still have a winning record. don't count them out until the Dayton game goes final.

The contest is drawing to an exciting conclusion which has been overlooked mainly because the eventual winner will come from the most pessimistic end and everyone roots for the most optimistic. Nonetheless, the winner of this race is likely coming down to either Rhody72 and Billyboy78. What is more exciting is that Billyboy78 has chance at a trifecta win!!
Here is what has to happen for him to achieve a trifecta.
Billyboy78 2/27
Prediction Status Billyboy wins if...
Overall Record 14-16 13-14 URI loses two or more of their last three games.
Team Scoring 67.70 68.11 URI averages 64 points in remaining three games.
Avg. Attendance 5,762 5,709 UMass game draws 6,453.

I think attendance takes me out of the possible trifecta.
There are still 6 contestants that can win . I still think their is a slight chance at a 16-14 finish and a fair chance at a 15-15 finish
if they can beat St. Jooes on the road. It is a taller order to beat dayton on the road, but Upsets at dayton for URI have been fairly
common over the past few years. so I'm rooting hard for the contestants at 16-14. Go into the A 10 tournament hot.
Two wins away from a winning season. Go out and get it guys. Beat St. Joes and UMASS. and note my comments above. a slight chance
turned in to a huge win. SUPRISE!
Rhody15 may lose out on tie-breakers.....I'm not sure

If we win Saturday, The total attendance and Dowtin average will be almost be guaranteed to be closer to my prediction than bpaz11, with our record predictions identical, and the ppg coming down to the wire, which I could also very much come out on top.
The win over Saint Joseph's results in the first elimination on the low end of predictions as BillyBoy78 is eliminated.
The winner comes down to final game of season against UMass. A loss in that game makes Rhody72 the winner. A win gives URI a 16-14 record and four contestants are possible winners - urix, Rhody15, bpaz11, and STC - and the Team Scoring prediction will be the tie breaker. Right now that makes it a battle between Rhody15 and bpaz11, with Rhody15 now in the lead by 0.42. For bpaz11 to win, URI cannot score more than 63 points in a win over UMass. Rhody15 wins if URI scores more than 63 points.

Don’t see how I wouldn’t win if that’s the case.
Remember the contest rules of determining the winner. First is overall record, next is A-10 record and third is team scoring. Since team scoring is predicted to two digits and ties are not allowed, Top Scorer and Attendance are not needed as tie breakers. Attendance is one of the bonus contests though. Right now you lead because your team scoring prediction is closer to current 68.86 by 0.42 than bpaz11's prediction.
Well as I posted above before the Dayton game, I'm rooting hard for those who predicted 16-14. And now it is a real possibility, dare
I say likely ? Wow , sometimes if you don't give up hope some dreams do come true. Keep it going against UMASS a nd the four games
in the Atlantic 10 Tournament and on in to the Dance. Good luck Rams! And good luck to the predictors at 16-14.
No amount of words can convey our appreciation for Obadiah on KeaneyBlue......for the total effort.....not just the annual contest...and providing the prizes.....
