View Full Version : Pick The Score - IUPUI

It's almost Halloween and time for Xavier Basketball.
Anyone up for another season of Pick the Score?
Scoring Rules
Net the difference from the actual Xavier score and your predicted Xavier score.
Net the difference from the opponent score and your predicted opponent score.
Add these two numbers together and subtract from 100.
Award a 5 point bonus for picking the winning team.
Award a 25 point bonus for predicting both the winner and the exact score of the game.
Scoring Example
You pick Xavier to beat IUPUI 74-52
Xavier wins 69-54
74-69 = 5 (Xavier component)
54-52 = 2 IUPUI component)
5+2 = 7 (Sum both components)
100 – 7 = 93 (Subtract from 100)
93 + 5 (Add winning team bonus) = 98 (Your score)
If you fail to pick a score, you will receive the lowest reasonable total points earned by another entrant. A non-reasonable score is if someone picks something like Xavier to win 155-2. This will be determined solely by me and was not a factor last year. As a matter of fact, once last year while entering scores I thought a score might be unreasonable. I believe it turned out to be a Top 10 finish. Also, this does not apply until you enter for the first time. If you enter for the first time in game three, you will not receive any points for games one and two. I will not go backwards. As the season progresses, this causes way too much work.
There will be a Top 10 recap for each game, Year-to Date totals for the entire season and a separate Big East total for conference opponents.
Note: It does say conference opponents. If the event that Xavier was to play a Big East opponent in any tournament, that game will be counted in the Big East scoring.
All entries must be posted on the Xavier Hoops site by scheduled game time.
This contest is for amusement only and bragging rights.

Last year was clearly a re-building year for me.
Should be en fuego this year.

No shout out to last year’s winner?? (Hint: it was Blue Blooded-05)
Anyway, thanks again for doing this Skywalker! I never got to tell you this after last year because of your time away from the board, but winning last year’s PTS competition actually managed to lift my spirits ever so slightly from the depths of despair after the debacle in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament... Kinda like putting whipped cream on sh!t or rolling in a 30 foot putt for triple bogey.

Sky: Thanks again for this Rite of Muskie-dom.
Please put me down for three ( 3 ) wins:
XU 80
OPPO 70
for the first three games: IUPUI, somebody, and Bucky Badger.
I'll be out of the country and happy to take my chances.
Indeed, I was out of the country -- Paris, as I recall -- when XU beat Bucky in the tournament several years back.
Great memory, learning of that win from an ocean away.
GO X!

Paris, KY is NOT out of the country. Lake Cumberland is NOT an ocean. Just don’t sink your house boat, a trailer on the water.
