Place Your Bets
 
Yesterday Pittsburgh defeated Syracuse 76-61 on the gridiron.

On January 7th and on February 11th the two schools will meet in basketball.

How many times will the football teams outscore their respective basketball brethren?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) None of the above


Hint: so far Syracuse has scored more than 61 points 4 out of 5 times
Pittsburgh has scored more than 76 points 4 out of 6 times.

Sympathy bump.

I will go with A, 1 time. It would be an interesting stat if anyone tracked how often two teams played football and basketball in the same year with the football game ending in a higher combined score. I have to assume it's a rare occurrence.

I have given this considerable thought and came up with this:


If Pittsburgh scores more than 76 points 4 out of 6 times, they will win 3 of 6 times if Syracuse scores more than 61 points 4 out of 5 times; conversely, or even Adidas-ly, if Syracuse scores less than 61 points 1 out of 5 times, they will not win a single game when Pittsburgh scores less than 76 points 2 of 6 times (assuming at least one game is against Syracuse) but more than Syracuse's point total in the same game. :eek:



I'm glad to have cleared that up for you...statistically.



lol



go

Syracuse won 77-66

Pittsburgh won 80-75

So the correct answer is (A) one time

In their loss to Syracuse in basketball, the Pittsburgh basketball team was out scored by the Pittsburgh football team.;)

It would have been foolish to bet against a pokerplyr80.:D:D
