Men's Basketball 2023-24 Prediction Contest - And The Winners Are...

[SGreenwell]

Thank you to all of this year's participants! It only feels appropriate to do this on the eve of the A-10 tournament start for us (unfortunately). The winners are...

OVERALL CONTEST WINNER

For regular season record, nobody guessed 12 wins overall. There were three guesses for 13 wins, and one guess for 11 wins. As far as I know, we are not playing with "Price Is Right" rules. So, the next tiebreaker is A-10 conference record, and one player guessed that URI would have six conference wins.

Therefore, congratulations to RI_Bred! Please contact ATP to collect your winnings. (FWIW, he also would have won the next tiebreaker too, for PPG.)

BONUS CONTESTS

1) Team Scoring. URI finished the regular season at 72.6129 PPG (and an ugly 76.4 PPG against). Congratulations to sevegny7, who was just 0.10 off with their guess of 72.51. This edged out 79RhodyFan by 0.01, who guessed 72.72 and was .11 off.

2) Top Scorer. Since we do not have a threshold for minimum games played or go by total points, the top scorer this year was David Green, at 14.3 PPG in 18 games played. Before the season started, RhodyMob05 picked Green, but changed him when Green was initially ruled ineligible. Therefore, none of the 71 entries had the actual top scorer. So...

In second place was Jaden House, at 13.9677 PPG. He also led the team in total points, with 433, substantially more than 311 from Luis Kortright. Your winner is Spookydog, who guessed 13.83 PPG, about 0.13 off. Runner-up is STC, with his guess of 14.23, about 0.27 off.

3) Average Home Attendance. As covered by RF1's excellent yearly thread, this year's average home attendance was 4,237. Your winner is NHRamFan, who was only six off with a guess of 4,231. Taylor Swift (not that one) is runner-up with 4,249.

4) Mid Season Award. Mentioned previously, but the winner is Rhody74.

Congratulations to all of the winners!

*cough* *cough*
There was another person that picked six conference wins. RI_Bred won because he was closer to overall record, but I came damn close to winning this contest for the 3rd time in a row. It came down to home losses to Brown & UNH that I did NOT see coming that did me in.

2) Top Scorer.

I forgot is there a prize for the Team scoring or was it more just bragging rights?

Just asking for a friend haha

Thank you for doing this each year!

Who would've thought that this team improving their offense to 72.6ppg (top 20 URI in the A10 era) wouldn't have meant more wins? Probably has something to do with that 76.4 points allowed (7th worst URI in the A10 era).

Awesome contest SG. Well run. Thank you for the effort. One of the few bright spots this season was this board, despite it's dumpster fire tendances, because of people like you putting in the work!

Yeah it is really crazy to think about. My prediction for Team scoring was spot on which naturally made me predict a regular season record that was so far from being right haha. I was about 0.10 off from the Team scoring but just a mere 8 games off on my regular season prediction lol.

Could not have been more off on the results of the games lol.


Would have never predicted that to happen before the season haha.

3) Average Home Attendance. As covered by RF1's excellent yearly thread, this year's average home attendance was 4,237. Your winner is NHRamFan, who was only six off with a guess of 4,231. Taylor Swift (not that one) is runner-up with 4,249.

Winning this is like winning the ugliest dog category. You're a winner, but it isn't a good thing to win.... Here's hoping the in-house support is more robust in 24/25 - my guess, as always, will be influenced by our schedule and roster.

That’s an insane guess

Wow I actually won something? Thanks!
