Congrats to @warrior-cat who had the best prediction outright and used that to take our points lead. Try not to wait too late to make your predictions. I don't want to dq a prediction. I'll get the next contest up soon. I thought we might win the turnover margin assuming that Wheeler wasn't playing much. Wallace with some late steals really sealed the win.

So I’m confused on the tie breaker. UKs turnover margin was 4 less than Georgias. Wouldn’t that mean the tiebreaker was -4. Everybody that missed the score by the same amount of points as me finished ranked higher than me. Their tie breaker was all a positive number.
To convince yourself of what @the nail at the foul line said, go to the NCAA basketball statistics website and pick any team. Then look at their turnover margin, turnovers, and turnovers forced per game. You'll see that a negative turnover margin implies that they have more turnovers than they force.
Think of it like this. Turnovers are a negative aspect unlike rebounds or steals. Turnover margin intends to show a positive statistic hence turnover margin is "turnovers forced" - "turnovers".
