All right, it's time to reward the weekend Chronicloids.
First prize is two tickets to the second-to-last game ever at Freedom Hall against Georgetown Tuesday night.
The question is simple: What will be the total number of combined points scored in the Arizona/Arizona State and Duke/Virginia Tech games tonight?
Not the total number of points from each game. We want one number. So if you you think the final for the first game will be 75-70, Arizona, and the second 80-65, Duke, then your answer is 290 (I think).
UA/ASU tips at 5:30 ET, so only answers posted before that time will be accepted.
Good luck.

what a stupid guess
I did 3 seconds of math before scrolling down and looking at the guesses and picking something in the middle. I suck at contests
For the record
There will be a potential tiebreaker question. So if someone has already guessed your number, feel free to go ahead and pick it anyway.

303
Hope this isn’t like the showcase showdown on The Price is Right!
My first instinct was to guess $1
Evidently I watched too many game shows as a kid. Sigh.
298
I live in Texas, so if I should win I’ll give ‘em to my favorite Chronicloid who doesn’t already have tickets.
I hope both games go into overtime
and the final score is like 380, that would be hilarious

So is this like the Price is Right
and if I go with 1 and everybody else is over I win?
I’m going with 240
Maddie in Portland, Oregon
247
Scum Devils + UA = 2+ hours of fugly basketball
Gratuitous proofreading nit
AU UA. Or, in Tuscon Tucson, The UA
U of A
People I knew from there called it the U of A, making them the only other University I knew of where they pronounced the “of.”
It is the Unversity of Arizon.
I did spent my Freshman and Sphomore years in Tucson at the U of A. And they are quite proud of the fact that unlike that upstart Arizona State, they are “the” University of Arizona. Quite a strong resemblance to a certain blue team down the road. Right down to the Wildcat macots.
I edited it
But not because the Pac-10 deserves it.

307
Fun fact: *307 is also the amount of Skittles in every large bag, and the number of times Muhammad Ali is called awesome per day
(Fun Facts are not verified by independent sources)
as the 1 seed favorite for this contest, I'm going with
278
UA 68 – ASU 62
Duke 83 – VT 65
Wow
It’s funny how many people show up on the free tickets post who rarely if ever post on this site.

no 264s, but there were two 265s and a 263

Oh well, I lost....
I guess there is going to have to be a tie breaker for those that were closest.
Better luck next time.

HOLY CRAP!
I know I don’t win, because I just got on CC at 11:52pm, but I read the title and thought…
“First game will be 63-69. That’s 132. Then I didn’t feel like adding the other 2 games so I just doubled 132 to 264.”
I checked the final and now I feel like an idiot! Why didn’t I come on the site earlier? Those tickets would have been mine! Now I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep.
tiebreaker
Will there be a tiebreaker for the three people who were withing 1 point?
interesting
I was one of the three and heard nothing of a tiebreaker….. is there a process for this?
you got an email
You got an email to the account you signed up here on. I was also one of the three and got an email last night at 10:45.
hmmmmmm
I didn’t get an email at my account……… I am sure it was a misunderstanding what was the tiebreaker out of curiosity?
Guess a number
Guess a number between 1 and 100.
It was sent to a aaron spalding and a pourmeanothernow. Those were the 2 other emails
first off
you are about two days late lol, and second 190, really? im pretty sure st. gabriel and st.rita werent playing there 5 and 6th grade games that night
