Gotham Style Pick 'em: Gators vs. UNF Ospreys

When the Gators have these blowouts against lesser teams, the stats get whacky. Example, the Gators had 21 steals. Wowser, that's a lot of steals. Another anomaly occurs when a player gets some positive stats and has virtually no negative stats (missed shots, missed FTs, fouls, or TOs). So yes, the MVG might be a surprise. First, though, it was great to see minutes for Jitoboh, Reeves, Kennedy, Lane, Klatsky, and some guy named Fred from the laundry facility. Team win with many good performers. Your MVG scored 13, with 1rb, 1asst, and 4 steals. He missed zero shots, had zero TOs and only one foul. Oh, and he didn't start. Your MVG is Tyree Appleby.

It’s .5 so let’s not be so dramatic. Look at the formula and tell me where it’s wrong. I posted the formula in the FSU thread. The formula accounts for more than pts and v rebounds. Appleby didn’t miss any shots and still scored 13. That’s efficiency.

 

In the past, Mvg did not factor. I found a way to insert a little side bet. Nobody is winning this contest based on it. If we used pts/rebounds only that would not only be erroneous it would be boring. But I do welcome the dialogue. At least you have some specific points to discuss unlike Lurker who bitched w/o any meaningful feedback.

 

"lack of credibility to the challenge" - this was too dramatic, imo.
