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 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.

okay, but what about

we're trying to keep things positive here at Die Duesenberg Center For Der Studien den Overunden, so we go right from eight to ten.

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...

Well, that would have been the easiest one ever, since he has to sit out this season.
I am still waiting for the over/under on how long it will take posters in this thread to notice Valpo doesn't have a player named Damien Walker! ???

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. ::)
Quote from: historyman on November 10, 2014, 11:43:41 AMit's a lot better than having three Matts
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.

It just means Valpo will play good defense and win close games. Some players will shoot poorly. Anybody else see that after the exhibition game? I was not there but others filled me in.
We will win maybe 10 games if we score 63 pg.
Not to help people out here (you're not alone, bbtds), but 63 pg would have put you like 20th worst in the country last year.
So...not telling you what we got last year, but, uh, it's quite a bit higher than that.

68.7 in 2010 and 71.2 in 2011. But their opponents scoring was much less. Oh, and they won close games, especially in HL play.

I went with a little higher than we had last year, hoping that our TO margin will be less and that we pick up the pace a bit this year.
Oh, believe me, I paid attention to what you picked, since you're defending champ :)
I suppose i could play...since it's not like I could tamper with stuff. Nah. More fun watching from the sidelines.

Ahen? Do you need to clear your throat?
It could be your answer to the perennial question of which came first.
Or perhaps it's crossing the road...
The sure to be wrong, awful selections of a well documented expert. Also I added a #9 because why don't we have a fun one for Bryce?

Valpo in the Bryce Drew era has a very good record when scoring 70 or more points. Since 2011-12 season (The Bryce Era), by rough calculations, Valpo is 47-8 when scoring =>70 and an amazing 29-2 in conference/conf tourney games.

Just for the sake of brevity, while going with my strongest feelings I am only going to answer 1) Carter-under 2) Nickerson-over and 9) Bryce-over. By doing so I think have insured that I will not finish last. ;D
1) Keith Carter: 3.7 apg Under
3.7 APG would match Buggs' senior year career high number, and the highest APG number by a Valpo player since 4.0APG by Jarryd Loyd.
2) EV Nickerson: 15 mpg Over
Close one - injury issues wants me to push the Under, but Vashil being in constant foul trouble pushes me to over
3) Tevonn Walker: 4.1 gs Over
4) Max Joseph: 1.0 spg Under
Not enough playing time
5) Darien Walker: 78% FT% Under
We always suck at free throws
6) David Skara: 49% 2FG% Over
Most his shots will come around rim
7) Vashil Fernandez: 2.0 bpg Under
Maybe barely.
8) Nick Davidson: 45% FG% Over
9) Under
Whatever this one is, it's the under.
10) Jubril Adekoya: 4.9 rpg Under
11) Alec Peters: 16.9 ppg Under
He's POY if he puts up 17ppg. Broekhoff wasn't even able to do this.
12) David Chadwick: 35% 3FG% Over
Not this one again!
13) Team: 20 wins Over
Why not?
14) Tie-breaker--team points per game, to 3 sig figs
70.000
How late can I change my #14 the tie-breaker?

I give you some stats, but you should still peruse the link. After a month:
T1 in the nation in wins.
4th in the nation in FGM.
4th in the nation in 3FGM.
14th in blocks.
...
13th in the country in TOs (most).
Can't win 'em all.
Speaking of which--the results at the one month mark.
Is Result
Carter (3.7 APG) 3.75 O
Nickerson (15 MPG) 12.3 U
T Walker (4.1 GS) O O First one to be a done deal.
Joseph (1.0 SPG) 0.38 U
D Walker (78% FT%) 52.6 U
Skara (49% 2FG%) 57.7 O

Peters (16.9 PPG) 19.3 O
Chadwick (35% 3FG) 33.3 U

We are, as a group, 63% right so far. So, good.

Those "total" stats are all right, but come on: We're among a relatively small group of teams that have played 8 games--and considering we're playing halfway-decently, of course we're going to be near the top in those stats.
More impressive: How about those percentage stats? We're in the top 10% of D1 for many of them. Only that free throw % is less than stellar (i.e., miserable).

I know what stat we're missing on this list... Time of Possession. Oren will know what I mean.
Looking forward to the next update - after the James Madison game, right?
yep!

(Although if Chadwick hadn't missed that last 3-ball, his would have changed and then borne out my meme.)

Recalculate---Jubril's is under. Unless you're using some kind of higher math I've never used before.
Got the scoring right on you say? Crazy. When I looked at it before the JMU game I was off by a rounding error. I also thought that Chadwick's performance was going to make my prediction of 0% really off, but I'm still right with the under.
Heh heh...just throwing that in there to see who would notice how much his production has fallen off.

Quote from: covufan on November 10, 2014, 01:15:07 PMI'm guessing that team win 21 may come in the HL tournament or other postseason game.
Update/Edit:
Win 21 will come in early February, most likely on 4 February.
Well if we drop 98 points on UIC I will still have the tie breaker dead on at the end of January. Right now Valpotx and Talksalot have the tie breaker pegged at 72.3
Couple of things have changed in the last month, and made everything topsy-turvy.
I've now "called" 3 categories. The first of course was Tevonn starting more than 4 games; the latest two are Vashil's BPG, which will still be 2 even if he goes 0-for the rest of the season, and the team getting over 20 wins, because ... we're not going to lose out.

justducky 2 no points guess
EDIT: I added in the points guesses so you can see where things could go.
There are some very close categories. The two that really stand out are Carter's assists and Alec's ppg. There are three people hoping Alec is short of 17 points in at least one of the games. You know who you are. Since Valpo can win without Alec scoring 17 there is nothing wrong with hoping your prediction is correct.
There are 5 that want Keith to get 8 assists combined in the two remaining games. As for the majority wanting Keith to have less than 8 assists in 2 games.........well.........since Valpo can win without 8 assists from Keith there is nothing wrong with that, I really, really hope!
As far as average points for the season. More people are leaning for a lower score than 70 for the two games. Against Cleve St that is more probable. We scored 78 on Detroit at the ARC and 58 on CSU at the ARC.

obviously this would seem to calcify the further we get into the year, but a couple of these are on knife-edge. the two categories that have shifted are denoted by the bold above--KC's APG and Alec's PPG, shifting from over to under.
Let's put aside our petty competitive differences at this point and root for both to be over ;)
Who was competitive? I could have almost got 7 by flipping a coin.
Congrats to FWalum! Very impressive!
I had a feeling that both Keith and Alec were going to fall just short of their over/under numbers. The last opponents didn't bode well for an outstanding finish by either of those players.
At the 3:35 mark of the 2nd half, you might remember, Vashil put home a layup to pull us within one. (unfortunately, that would be the last basket I would see, for reasons I don't care to go into.)
But what that one play did was flip the whole season's O/U away from FWAlum to the new champ, "valpo4life", because the flush was off a KC assist, giving him 3.708 apg for the season. His O/U was set at 3.7. (I'm sure FWAlum was so happy at the time he doesn't even mind now.)
But that's how close things were! (clicking embiggens)

I guess I'm running out of things to say, and for some reason the graphic is a lot of white space, so I guess just looking at this will do the talking for me:

Hey hey at least I had something go my way over the past two days! This over/under contest could be ridiculously hard to pick next season...

I need to correct the record. I finished tied for 3rd, not 6th. The secondary tie breaker should be for tournament seeding only! ;)

What do you mean "
next season?"
Quote from: historyman on March 21, 2015, 12:58:22 PMWhat do you mean "next season?"
OK... here's the first category:
Power 5 schools on the Schedule: O/U is 1.7
and I'll give you .5 if we have to beat someone to GET to play a Power-5 in a tournament.
I would lean towards taking the over. If my memory is correct, we don't have many return games next year so that would allow for opportunities with an empty calendar to slot games into. Bryce will be able to try and schedule tougher because he knows what he has going into next season. The 2012-2013 team had games at Nebraska, New Mexico, Saint Louis, and Murray State. I realize only one of those is technically a Power 5 school, but the other 3 we're quite formidable that year. New Mexico was Top 20 when we went there. So heading into 2015-2016, with what we all may expect to be the best team we've had in years, I would expect 4 or 5 games against schools that are either Power 5 or in the top of their respected league, respected being the key word there. Can't expect much more than that.
