We're back again for another wonderful installment of the Valparaiso Over/Under prop bets.
Here's the deal. Email me (pgmado@gmail.com) with your picks on the following props by 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Feel free to post them here as well, but I'd prefer to have your name/email if you want to participate in the contest. Trying to track down the winner for last year was tough because I didn't know who it was. I'll post two updates throughout the year, one when conference play begins and one when Arch Madness begins. I'll then post the final standings and the winner will join me on Union Street Hoops for a victorious conversation.
If you'd like to listen to the Voice of the Crusaders, Todd Ickow give his Over/Under picks, listen to the latest episode of Union Street Hoops.

Tiebreaker: How many games will Langston Stalling appear in this season? SEVEN
Javon Freeman: 11.5 points per game Under (I have high hopes for his future but I'll take the under from the freshman. He still could make the all-freshman team. I think Valley teams won't allow him to get easy drives to the basket. The 3pt shot just isn't there yet)
Micah Bradford: 2:1 assist to turnover ratio Under (Coach Lottich will favor the future in terms of minutes. The writing will be on the wall by seasons end.)
Deion Lavender: 3.6 assists per game Under (I know coach said high assist to low TO guy but I'm not buying that. Coaches speak.)
Daniel Sackey: 18.5 games with more assists than turnovers Over (This one makes me think Paul heard, Sackey might be turning the ball over in practice. I got nervous hearing the Buggs comp. Buggs was one of my favorite players but there were some maddening moments with him on the court, due to his 3pt shooting and FT shooting, but also many exciting ones. I know he's a better shooter but he needs to be a LOT better then Buggs was.)
Bakari Evelyn: 39.5% 3PFG Under (A strong 3pt shooter but I'm going under)
Markus Golder: 50.0% FG Under (I think the league will adjust to him this season but he'll have a pretty good season. He'll have less easy drive to basket this season)
Jaume Sorolla: 5.5 rebounds per game Under (Injury will slow him down early on and the minutes split with Smits/Mileek will keep him under)
Derrik Smits: 25 blocks Under (under. He may have a big blocks games vs the lesser OOC competition)
Mileek McMillan: 20.5 3-pointers Over (I feel fairly confident about this one. If Mileek can play good defense and stay out of foul trouble, he'll get enough looks. He's a good 3pt shooter for a PF/C(?))
John Kiser: 1.2 offensive rebounds per game Under (He won't get enough minutes, but will still earn some minutes because Coach trusts him on defense. I really hope he worked on his 3pt shot this season. If he consistently can knock down open 3s he will be considerably more valuable to this team if his defenders have account for him on the court.)
Ryan Fazekas: 14.2 points per game Under (I think he has it in him but I'm going to say under. Maybe next season.)
Wins: 19.5 Under (I think we'll win 1 or 2 we are expected to lose, but we'll drop the ball against an opponent we "should" beat. I think we'll have 18 or 19 wins.)
Arch Madness wins: 1.5 Under (It sort of depends if we play on Thursday or not. If we play on Thursday we'll win that game and Friday's game will depend on who the opponent is and how we match up to their roster)
MVC Finish: 5.5 (Over means 1-5, Under means 6-10) Under (my heart says 5th but if I'm a betting man I'd say 6th place)
Postseason Victories: 0.5 Over (I think we play in the CBI or CIT this season and we'll make a deep run in one of those tournaments. No chance we pass up an invite from one of those tournaments this season.)
Conference win steak: 2.5 Over (We win 3 in a row sometime between: @Indiana St 1/23, Drake 1/26, Missouri St 1/29, @evansville 2/2.)
Conference loss streak: 2.5 Over (but I'm not feeling confident about this one, but I'm scarred from last season. The really tough 4 game stretch will be: Bradley 1/8, @SIU 1/12, @Loyola 1/15, UNI 1/19)
Attendance: 2,850 Under (sadly the home OOC schedule won't draw well this year. If this was next season I'd take the over. cough...Vandy...cough)
Freeman - under (hope I'm wrong, hard to bet on a freshman I've never seen before)
Bradford - under (he's in the doghouse and will need an injury to get pt)
Lavender - under (never seen him play)
Sackey - under (hard to bet on a freshman Point not turning it over)
Evelyn - over (should get some more open looks with the new help)
Golder- under (unless he's discovered his left hand teamswill figure him out)
Sorolla - under (wouldn't bet on either 7'er when it comes to rebounding)
Smits- over (had 21 last year, I think he'll find 5 more this year)
McMillian - over (if they give him the minutes he will be at the over by Christmas)
Kiser - under (show me the minutes)
Fazekas - over (someone has to score, I'm going with him)
Wins - under (got us at 9-9 or 10-8 in conference, not sure I can find that many more wins OOC)
Arch Madness - under (only chance at an over is if VU falls to the play in I'm afraid)
MVC Finish - under (6 or 7)
Postseason W - over (think Valpo picks up a win in one of the lower tourneys)
Win Streak - under (this was probably the hardest to pick)
Lose Streak - under (2nd hardest to pick)
Attendance - under (not enough people and not enough good competition)
Langston will appear in 6 games
I hate being so down, but feel like I'm setting myself up to be happily surprised.

I think I've finished dead last 3 of the last 5 years so I am swinging for the fences! :thumbsup:

Conference loss streak: 2.5 - OVER
Attendance: 2,850 UNDER
Tiebreaker: How many games will Langston Stalling appear in this season? - 9
Javon Freeman: 11.5 points per game - UNDER (my guess is that there will be wild swings on scoring prior to the conference season, but better consistency and an average around 13 ppg in the conference season)
Micah Bradford: 2:1 assist to turnover ratio - UNDER
Deion Lavender: 3.6 assists per game - UNDER (this is a lot of assists for a player in his first year with any team)
Daniel Sackey: 18.5 games with more assists than turnovers - UNDER
Bakari Evelyn: 39.5% 3PFG - UNDER (shot selection and getting open will be the key factor - ability is there)
Markus Golder: 50.0% FG - UNDER (this is a high bar for anyone not playing the 5 or that is a true 4)
Jaume Sorolla: 5.5 rebounds per game - UNDER
Derrik Smits: 25 blocks - OVER
Mileek McMillan: 20.5 3-pointers - OVER
John Kiser: 1.2 offensive rebounds per game - UNDER
Ryan Fazekas: 14.2 points per game - OVER (just barely)
Wins: 19.5 - UNDER - this will be close, but 10-8 in the MVC would require 10 more wins.
Arch Madness wins: 1.5 - UNDER finish in the top 6, but will not make it past the semis
MVC Finish: 5.5 (Over means 1-5, Under means 6-10) - OVER
Postseason Victories: 0.5 - OVER likely a win in the CBI or CIT
Conference win steak: 2.5 - OVER
Conference loss streak: 2.5 - UNDER this will be 2 or 3, but I will go with under.
Attendance: 2,850 - UNDER - dragged way down by the awful non-conference schedule. There will not be 1500 people in seats for either of the two non-D1 games.

Send Paul your Over/Unders: pgmado@gmail.com and copy/paste them on the board. It's always fun to compare expectations. I also highly recommend you give the podcast a listen. Chef has some great insight into the team and guys potential roles on the team.

BEFORE the game.
5,867 at Carver Arena in the Peoria Civic Center last night. Engaged Crowd. The Bradley Student "Section" (next to the band) had 17 students in it. It helps to go 6-1 in February, it was Senior Night for 5 seniors. There were 15-or so Band Members, one cheerleader and 10 Bravettes were recognized during a media time out. The 4 team Managers were recognized during another media time out. Didn't stick around to see if they made Senior speeches, they photo-op was pre-game. based on the traffic coming out of the parking garages, didn't look like a lot of people were sticking around.
The Facilities folks were probably happy to see us leave; Blake Shelton is scheduled for a performance in the arena tonight.
Here are some standings that I put together on my own for posters on this board.

And I also had 10 games with more assists than turnovers, talks. So we agree. The stat that, I believe, Paul was looking for was the number of games that Sackey had more assists than turnovers. The games when Daniel had equal number of assists to turnovers don't count.

Attendance: 2,850 UNDER - 5 games, 2,453 average....will be tough !
With 1 game left, average is 2,838. Need 3,021 Saturday to reach 2,850 and make this a push. If you bet OVER on this one, get to the game on Saturday and bring some friends!
Attendance for Evansville game listed as 2592 dispirited fans.

Bradford (not counted)
Why not? Bradford had 0 assists and 1 turnover on the year for a ratio of 0:1. My "Under" prediction should count!
So, who is the winner?

Good question. I think I was in contention, but I doubt Paul will invite me onto the podcast if I win.

Since this is Pgmado's thread my calculations mean nothing and there could have been entrants on other forms of social media. Also I believe Paul is waiting because there is a slight chance Valpo could be invited to a post season tournament. I've heard no anticipation of something like that happening from the athletic dept so I counted post season victories as zero.
All those UNDERS kinda tell you about the season we had.
