We're in the heart of the offseason, so it's time for some UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia. I encourage everyone to take part in the fun.
This is a game where you try to out-think other forum posters.
Shoutout to the OG sheep himself @Mano who brought this game to The Boneyard years ago. The rules will remain the same for this iteration.
Rules:
All questions refer to the UConn men's basketball program unless otherwise specified.
Without further ado, here are the questions:
Sheep Questions (1-10):
1. Name a player from the Kevin Ollie Era.
2. Name a player from the 1999 championship team.
3. Name an opposing head coach UConn defeated in a national title game.
4. Name a player who has hit a game-winning buzzer-beater.
5. Name a school UConn used to share a conference with, but no longer does.

8. Name a foreign-born UConn player.
9. Name a player who played at UConn under two different head coaches.
10. Name a player Kemba Walker has played with in the NBA.
Bonus 2x-Points Sheep Question:

12. Name an active NBA player who played for UConn.

Good luck to everyone!
This is a game where you try to out-think other forum posters.
Shoutout to the OG sheep himself @Mano who brought this game to The Boneyard years ago. The rules will remain the same for this iteration.
Rules:
- There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-10) and Reverse Sheep questions (11-20).
- For Sheep questions (1-10), you want to answer what you think will be given most often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a Duke player" a good answer is Christian Laettner and a bad answer might be Nick Horvath.
- For Reverse Sheep questions (11-20), you want to give the answer that you think will be given least often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a basketball conference in the NCAA," the ACC might be a terrible answer while the Horizon League could be a good choice.
- In Sheep questions, you get one negative point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and six other people said Laettner, all seven of you would get -7 points.
- In Reverse Sheep questions, you get one positive point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. If you and ten other people said the ACC, you would get 11 points.
- Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer. Incorrect answers for Sheep questions will be worth 0.
- The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be –7 + 11 = 4.
- No using Google, Wikipedia, etc. if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this (i.e. don't use them to cheat).
- Fill out the Google Form to submit your answers. Do not post your responses in this thread or tell anyone else.
- Answers are due by Wednesday, August 3 at 11:59PM ET. Answers will be revealed over the following days. We’ll put a cap at 50 participants.
