OK, right so, time to get on with my annual look back at the University Challenge series just finished. Starting with a small taster of the buzzer stats for the eight quarter-finalist teams. Firstly, a recap of each of their best buzzers:
Rosie McKeown (St John's) - 32 over six games
Alex Peplow (Merton) - 27 over six matches
Jonathan Noble (Newcastle) - 22 over six matches
Ollie Bowes (Bristol) - 19 over five matches
Innis Carson (Edinburgh) - 19 over six matches
Jack Maloney (Fitzwilliam) - 18 over five matches
Ian Jack (Ulster) - 17 over five matches
James Fraser (Emmanuel) - 14 over four matches
And honourable mentions for the other players go to:
Akira Wiberg (Merton) - 24 over six matches
Molly Nielsen (Newcastle) - 18 over six matches
John-Clark Levin (St John's) and Leonie Woodland (Merton) - 17 each over six matches
Sam Hosegood (Bristol) - 16 over five matches
James Devine-Stoneman (St John's) - 16 over six matches
Theo Tindall (Fitzwilliam) - 13 over five matches
Jack Reynard (Newcastle) - 13 over six matches
John Heaton-Armstrong (Edinburgh) - 12 over six matches
So that's a (quite large) selection of some of the higher totals. As usual, I am happy to send the complete stats on request; get in touch either below or via PM on Twitter.
Back tomorrow evening with a more thorough look back at the series, plus my usual highlights reel; my now annual 'serious thoughts' will be saved for next week, once Only Connect is done too.
