Opening the 2021-22 MBB Prediction Contest
URI opens its 118th basketball season on Tuesday, November 9 with a game against Boston University and this event, after a year hiatus, signals the opening of the 13th Annual Prediction Contest.
MAIN PRIZE
The winner of the prediction contest will receive a $200 cash prize.
BONUS PRIZES
Prizes will be awarded in all bonus categories and each winner will receive a $50 Mews Tavern gift certificate based on the most accurate prediction of:
1) Team Scoring - regular season only (to avoid ties, this prediction must be made to two decimals).
2) Top Scorer - regular season only (to avoid ties, this prediction must be made to two decimals).
3) Average Home Attendance - regular season only
4) Mid Season award - is base on the most accurate prediction of the OOC record, based on 13 games. The winner of this award will be determined by the same rules governing the overall contest and will be determined after the Brown game on December 22.
In the first three bonus categories, if bettors submit an identical prediction to one already placed, they will be asked to modify prediction and resubmit.
Note: In the event that a participant correctly predicts all prize winning components, ex the Mid-Season award, the prize would be doubled to a $700 cash award.
PREDICTION COMPONENTS:
Each participant will make a prediction composed of five parts.
1. Regular Season Record (based on 31 games)
2. A-10 Conference record (based on 18 games)
3. Team Scoring Average, ppg (to two decimals, based on 31 games).
4. Top Scorer & Scoring Average, ppg (to two decimals, based on 31 games)
5. Average Home Attendance, regular season only (15 games - 9 conference, 6 OOC)
The contest is a game of accuracy in predicting the overall regular season record, and the other four components of bet are essentially tiebreakers and will be used to determine the winner according to the above sequence. To move successfully through the sequence requires either predicting the actual result or coming closest to the actual result.
A suggested prediction submission format:
1. 22-9
2. 14-4
3. 68.42
4. Sheppard, 14.83
5. 4,945
DEADLINE
The deadline for submitting a prediction is November 9, Noon.
OTHER GUIDELINES

Re: Opening the 2021-22 MBB Prediction Contest
If leggett can burst onto the scene in conference play, this team will be able to go further than people think. If he can be out leading slashing, attacking scorer with the option to kick out to ish and shep I love our offense. Not to mention pretty damn good post play for the A10 with Walker and the Mitchell’s. I believe Leggett’s breakout is possible with the departure of Bones and many upper class men guards throughout the league. I believe in the kid
