Dyslexic ESPN statistician?

Last night during the second half I noticed a pop up factoid that stated that Kentucky had outscored KU X to Y over the past Z minutes. Since KU had retaken the lead, I was pretty sure that the stat guy had confused KU and UK.

This afternoon my F-i-L and I are watching the recording (he missed the game yesterday) and I noticed at the start that ESPN was reporting that even with the just ended OU win over LSU, the SEC led the Big 12 4-3 in the Challenge. That obviously should have been the exact opposite, B12 4 SEC 3, with the final tally being B12 7, SEC 3.

Just a side observation. Wonder if the QC folks with ESPN were taking note?

With as little over 6:00 to go in H1. No notice that this was a correction of their earlier error, just reporting the correct status of the Challenge at that point.

My son and I saw that scoring disparity stat show up too, and we were like "WHAT???"

I think they literally got the teams turned around, and it was KU that had pulled off the big swing. But even that left us perplexed, because KU had never gotten down by more than 5-7 (if memory serves), and we never pulled away...so the notion of even a double-digit KU swing would've have been off.

Maybe the stat guys at ESPN need to lay off the juice?

Finished watching the recording and found the subject error.

3:43 H1. score KU 33 UK 29
ESPN pop up shows
UK outscored KU 25-14 since Ellis sat down

Ellis sat down at 14:07, score KU 10 UK 13
From 14:07 to 3:43,
KU outscored UK 23-16 while Ellis sat.

BL - the ESPN stats person made two errors, who scored more and how much since Ellis.

As reported, it showed how KU was missing Perry.

The reality was that KU was doing okay up to then while Perry sat.

Bad job all around.

And makes the UK 17-6 run to finish H1 even more painful for KU fans.

"Thank you, sir, you've been very helpful."
