Men's Basketball 2023-24 Prediction Contest - And The Winners Are...
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:02 pm
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!
