Prediction League (Game 28 - Minnesota 2/27/22)

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

How this works!!!

Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s).

It's a simple concept:

Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week)
+25 PTs if you guess the winner
-25 PTs if you pick the loser
+10 PTs if guess IU score correctly
+10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct
-The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter)
-The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter)

*** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits.

The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins

We should win. I fear this one is a nail in the coffin as we struggle to score.

Crunching numbers and splitting hairs on this one.  IU, which is supposed to have a good defense, gives up an average of 66 points/game.  Minny gives up 68.  So we are pretty close defensively.  OTOH IU has an offensive average of 72, despite having a poor offense.  Minny is actually worse with an average of 68.  Looking at it another way IU stands at 72-66, while Minny is 68-68.  Even at home Minny should struggle to get to 68 against the IU defense.  IU might struggle to get to our average of 72.  Last basket wins.

IU 70 - Minny 66
