ONE WEEK AWAY

Submit your answers below.  Closest to the pin could get a special prize, like one of my extra "Valpo Loves Bryce!" posters the Post-Trib made in 1994.  Because last year's champ *cough* didn't want it :)

No submission or editing after tipoff next Friday.

i think you have this labeled wrong   http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_GS_mean_in_basketball_stats

I see what he did here.  Had he just used 4 games started, 4 would have been neither over nor under.  By using 4.1, every possibility has an over/under outcome.

If this is true then why didn't LAA do that with some of the other stats? Team wins could end up exactly 20. Why not 20.1 wins?

And why not explain it before confusing historyman and pgmado?

It could have been explained to which significant figure the stat value would be carried out to. As in #13/14 which was explained as going out to "3 sig figs."

That one is always 20.  But you're right, maybe it should be 19.99 ;)

I didn't foresee it confusing anyone, especially two of the brighter lights.  But you can't slip anything past wh.

Speaking of confusing...your last sentence.

Also, speaking of confusing, WH wins the "pessimist" award for picking the most "unders" and yet picking the team to do >20W.

Then bbtds wins the "optimist" award for only picking "over" in all but one, and yet picking the team to score under 63 ppg.

BTW,  I realized where the missing # went...not that it matters now, but it was 7 GP for Chandler Levingston-Simon.

Oh well.  Maybe a tiebreaker, since we have 7 entries and 4 of them picked the same 2 numbers to 3 sig figs...

Once you learn how to spell and pronounce a name correctly it's a lot better than having three Matts or Tom, Dick and Harry in your starting line-up.   ::)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.......I wish the whole Cardinal starting line-up was named Matt. Except for Yadier, Kolten and Jhonny, of course.   ;D

I'm assuming that we'll need to calculate Skara's 2pt FG%, as Valpo doesn't publish stats for this.  I'm guessing that team win 21 may come in the HL tournament or other postseason game.
