I'll take Hamm on 5, Hold the Mayo.
We have 10 participants...
After 2 games...with only 7 categories in play ...
(McNair, Monegro, DeAveiro, Ellis, Sepp, Schmidt and Schweiger)
we have one perfect grid... RST1207 has all 7
I show five people with 5 correct, two with 4 and two with three.
Thought I'd take a crack at other categories that Pgmado did not come up with.
Like:
Number of games in which Valpo has a scoring drought of more than 5 minutes? Over/Under 3.5 (longest drought vs Liberty was from 15:47 to 11:10 in the first half)
Number of games in which Valpo has 4 or more players in double-digit scoring? (Liberty we had 3, CUAA we had 7). Last year, in 32 games, we had one game with 5 (Trinity Christian) and six games with 4 players, thirteen games with 3, eleven games with 2 in Double Figures. We had one game with only one player in double figures, Chicago State. Over/Under 15.5 games
Total Free Throws Attempted. Last year, we shot 471 FTs, our opponents shot 571 FTs. (14.72 per game vs 17.84). We shot 21 against Liberty (they had 13) and 9 against CUAA (they had 8). Category: Total Free Throws attempted by Valpo vs Opponents in total for the season. Over/Under is 0.5. (Hasn't happened since 2-21-22, 692 to 684)
The LBJI Shooting contest will be run every home game. until someone wins it this year. 25 seconds. layup, free throw, 3 pointer and half-court. You get your own rebounds. Successful participant wins $10,000. Over/Under on the number of winners 0.5.
The blind-folded Corn Hole Game contest. Winner gets the VU corn hole board game if they put it in the hole with 3 shots and someone helping them with verbal commands. So far, including the football game attempts, nobody has put a bag on the board, let alone in the hole. Over/Under on the number of winners 0.5
We have completed the Non Conference schedule (thank you captain obvious), and time for a pre-continuous-MVC look at the O/U predictions. Yes, the Drake Stats are included in these numbers.
There is one category that is complete. The o/u for number of non-conference wins at 7.5. Well, we wound up at 7... EVERYONE on the forum predicted we would be "under" that number, except RST1207.
The categories in play are:
Justis McNair: 4.2ppg: Currently has 65 (although 3 of those should count for more) with 12 games, for an average of 5.4 ppg for an OVER
Jefferson DeLaCruz Monegro: FTs made at 4.44/game: has hit 53 of 66 from the line. that is an average of ... 4.42/game by one lousy shot, he is currently UNDER
Darius DeAveiro: 6.37 assists per game. Has 39 assists on the season, which leads the team (Wright has 36), averaging 3.25 for an UNDER
Devon Ellis: 12.6 ppg, has scored 112 points, for an average of 9.3 for an UNDER
Kaspar Sepp: 5.2 rebounds per game. Has 81 Rebounds for 6.8 R/Gm, including a team-leading 29 offensive rebounds, for an OVER
Tyler Schmidt 8.3 ppg. has scored 142 points for 11.6 ppg average for an OVER
Cooper Schweiger: Total Points + Total Rebounds, averaging 25.5 per game. has 156 + 91 = 247 for an average of 20.58 Taking out the 0-point/3-reb game vs. Drake, the average goes up to over 22. He's had 3 games over 25.5; one game at 25 and two games at 24. He had 33 with Lindenwood and 34 against CalColl. but, for now, he's an UNDER
Tracking other categories:
Games Started by Coulibaly / Scroggins: need 9.5. have none
All Wright double Digit scoring games, needs 11.5, has 7 so far
Shaw with 8.5 games with at least 3 three-pointers. has 1 so far
Stafford .5 points for the season. has none
Total wins for the season: need 15.5, have 7, need to win 9 more games
O/U standings as of 12/27/24 out of 8 categories:
HumbleOpinion and TjjValpo are both at 7, both picking Sepp for Under the rebound total
Vok22, Rez, ValpoPal, Vu84v2, CoVuFan are all at 6
RST1207 has fallen from the lofty #1 position with a current score of 5.
That leave me and the chef looking up... we both have 4 correct.
Fun with numbers.
If Monegro had hit ONE more free throw, the standings would be:
ValpoPal would be #1 with a 7
Humble Opinion, tjjValpo and RST1207 would have 6
and everyone else would be at 5
When Wright continues on his scoring run, HumbleOpinoin, Rez and myself are the only folks who predicted the OVER.
AND, we have a chance in the next two weeks to guarantee an OVER in the "MVC Games won against teams not from Indiana or Illinois"... we can beat MSU in Springfield and UNI at the ARC...would clinch the 1.5 o/u prediction.
Let's have a good showing at the Civic Center in Peoria on Sunday afternoon...
And, for the other categories I threw out there...
Games with a 5-minute scoring drought, so far, we've had 2
DePaul, from 13:23 to 8:10 in the first half, the score went from 12-9 to 23-12
Ohio State, from 12:08 to 5:10 in the first half, the score went from VU leading 16-14 to trailing 26-17
Games with 4+ double-digit scorers
So far, we've had 7 games with 4+
Concordia with 7
Northern Illinois and Calumet College with 5
Cleveland State, Lindenwood, DePaul and Western Michigan with 4
Eastern Illinois is our low point with only 2 double digit scorers.
Free Throws Attempted: so far 270 for Valpo 221 for the opposition
(with makes at 218 to 152)... Valpo shooting over 80% from the line, ranks 9th nationally.
Lets Go Beacs!
ANOTHER Category is complete for the year.
Valley wins against teams not from Indiana/Illinois 1.5 wins
Missouri State W
Northern Iowa W
Everyone that got in on the contest had the OVER... We all get 1 point.... and "We've Only Just Begun..." Hey, I think I'll write a song...
