OK, so another series of University Challenge is over, so time to look back at it. Coming up tomorrow, my usual highlights reel and thoughts on the series going forwards. Now, though, my annual round-up of the buzzer stats for every quarter-finalist team. Firstly, here is the best player for all eight:
Jason Golfinos (Darwin) - 50 over six matches
Freddie Leo (St Edmund Hall) - 44 over six matches
Max Fitz-James (Edinburgh) - 30 over seven matches
Owen Iredale (Bristol) - 24 over five matches
Alex Antao (Manchester) and Matthew Toynbee (Durham) - 19 each over five matches
James Hampson (Glasgow) - 16 over four matches
Connor MacDonald and Vedanth Nair (Emmanuel) - 13 each over five matches
And honourable mentions to:
Cameron Yule (Durham) - 17 over five matches
Robbie Campbell Hewson (Edinburgh) - 16 over seven matches
Ben Murray (Durham) - 15 over five matches
James Ross (Manchester) - 11 over five matches
Matt Booth (Edinburgh) - 10 over seven matches
Pushan Basu (Bristol), Dani Cugini & Ben Harris (Emmanuel) and Joe Hanson (Manchester) - 9 each over five matches
So that's a quick selection; I have full stats for all eight teams, if anyone is interested, let me know either below or on Twitter.
Back tomorrow with my usual highlights.
Hi; thanks for your highlights and commentary. Just one thing; I thought that Messrs. Antao and Toynbee both had 19 in total from what your previous blogs said, and that Mr Yule managed 17? I may be wrong but I was just wondering. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, you are absolutely correct. Will amend that now.
