2019 NCAA Tournament Pool - FINALS

So the tournament is complete, and so is our pool.  Congratulations to the 9 entrants that selected Virginia as the champion, which was obviously correct.  Even more congratulations to our Top 3, which are tentative Steven Usma #5 of Miami, Florida in third place, Ashley Poer of Lake Worth, Florida in second place, and our champion - MARCUS JACKSON of Reston, Virginia.  Marcus, for those that don't know, was my college roommate.

I say tentative above, because the Final Four is always incredibly hectic for me, and I could have made mistakes.  For those of you close to the winner's circle, please take a look at your totals, and let me know if you final something wrong.  If you notify me within the next couple of days, I will take a look at your bracket, and whoever else's bracket would be affected, and make the appropriate corrections, if any need to be made.

2019 NCAA Tournament Pool Standings - Elite 8/Day 2

Wow - oh wow!  So the greatness of Saturday's games continued through to Sunday's last two Elite 8 games.  All four of the quarterfinals were incredible, and the total point differential was 18.  In our first game, SEC rivals Auburn and Kentucky squared off in Kansas City for the right to go to the Final Four.  Auburn, behind 26 from Jared Harper and 24 from Bruce Brown overcame the loss of Chuma Ekeke to an ACL injury in the previous game to defeat the Wildcats 77-71 in overtime.  The Wildcats, who received 28 points and 13 rebounds from their All-American P.J. Washington, did not receive enough help from their freshman wings Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro, who combined for 21 points, but on 8-24 shooting.  Hopefully this convinces Herro to stay in school another year.  Congratulations to Auburn alumna Jenni Garrison, who was gracious enough to watch the game with me - despite me being a Kentucky fan.

And in the second game - DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!!  Our overwhelming favorite - the Duke Blue Devil - fell to the Big 10 champion Michigan State Spartans 68-67.  Zion Williamson scored 24 (with 14 rebounds) in the loss, to become the first freshman to score 100 points in the tournament since Derrick Rose in 2008 - and Rose played in 6 games as his Memphis Tigers lost in the championship game to the Kansas Jayhawks.  Much like Rose, Williamson will be going straight to the pros after his freshman year.  Michigan State was led by Big 10 Player of the Year Cassius Winston and his 20 points and 10 assists.  Incidentally, Duke haters often complain about how they feel referees favor the Blue Devils.  Ironically enough, it was the lack of fouls against Duke that ended up hurting them in the end, as they did not have enough fouls called on them to send Michigan State to the free throw line, costing time.  But, make no mistake about it, this was no fluke as Michigan State earned the win that narrowly escaped Virginia Tech and UCF.

Congratulations to Auburn and Michigan State.  See you in Minneapolis.

Today's history lesson came to me by virtue of a meandering mind that started with the state from above - Zion Williamson being the first freshman to score 100 points in a tournament since Derrick Rose.  That led me to an article that ranked the top freshman in NCAA history.  This Bleacher Report article had the following players listed:  (1) Carmelo Anthony - legendary run and NCAA Champion; (2) Kevin Durant - too recent for me to write about; (3) Pervis Ellison - already referenced him briefly this tournament; (4) Michael Beasley - too bizarre; (5) Chris Webber - also too recent, and I don't want to have to reference his failed time out; (6) Magic Johnson - too obvious; and (7) Wayman Tisdale - Perfect.  Rounding out the top 20 - Greg Oden, Kenny Anderson, Jason Kidd, Chris Jackson, Mark Aguirre, Omar Cook, Derrick Coleman, Patrick Ewing, Pete Padgett, Derick Rose, Bobby Hurley, Kevin Love and Luol Deng.  I don't want to see how long I have to read to get to Anthony Davis!!!!  (Hint - It is number 40 - RIDICULOUSLY LOW).

But, back to Wayman Tisdale.  Tisdale, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, went to the University of Oklahoma as a much-heralded recruit.  A 6'9", 245 pound power forward, Tisdale, averaged 24.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a freshman.  After his first season, Tisdale was named the Big Eight Conference Player of the Year, a title he would hold for all 3 of his seasons with the Sooners from 1982-1985.  He was also named to the A.P. All-America first team each of his three season with the Sooners, the first person in college history to hold that honor.  He also starred on the 1984 Olympic team that won the gold medal in Los Angeles.  Other stars on that team included Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, Alvin Robertson and Sam Perkins.  Notable cuts from that team included Charles Barkley, Johnny Dawkins, John Stockton and Chuck Person - three of which I have written a bit about in this year's tournament summaries.  Barkley was cut despite being on of the two best players at the trials - along with Jordan - simply because of a personality conflict with head coach Bobby Knight.  Even Michael Jordan has said he would not have played had he known what Knight was going to act like.

Once again, back to Tisdale.  Leaving college after his junior year, the Indiana Pacers drafted Tisdale second overall, behind only Patrick Ewing.  Tisdale played 12 years in the NBA for 3 separate franchises before retiring after the 1997 season.

Tisdale was the first player in Oklahoma history - IN ANY SPORT - to have his number retired.  Blake Griffin later came along and received permission from the school to wear Tisdale's number 23, but only after asking Tisdale's blessing for his request first.   The annual freshman on the year award is called the Wayman Tisdale award.

What makes Tisdale interesting to me, however, is what he did after basketball.  Although an amazing basketball player, his first love was always music, and he was a talented jazz musician, playing primarily bass.  His first album, Power Forward, debuted in 1995, and he released 8 albums total, including Face to Face in 2001, which rose to number 1 on the Billboard contemporary jazz charts.

Unfortunately, in 2007, Tisdale fell down a flight of stairs in his home and broke his leg, which led to the finding of osteosarcoma in his knee.  In 2008, doctors amputated Tisdale's right leg, and eventually lost his battle to cancer on May 15, 2009 at the age of 44.  He "credits" Bobby Knight with helping to teach him how to fight - which he used to fight against the cancer.  I say "credits" because, well, let's just let Tisdale tell us in this quote from a 2008 story on ESPN.com...

"I had some coaches that literally didn't want me to make it, and on in particular was Bobby Knight.  At the time I frowned on that ... I look at it today that had I not persevered through a lot of the stuff he put me through, I probably wouldn't be here today.  I thank God for that dude because he pushed me."

Apparently Bobby Knight wasn't really that good of a guy.

If you enjoy jazz, especially contemporary jazz, check out Wayman's music.  He is fantastic.

So, back to the pool.  As you can imagine, yesterday's two games had a TREMENDOUS effect on our pool.  Duke was the most frequent choice as champion, and most of those that did not have them as champion had them advancing to the Final Four.  Kentucky (along with North Carolina in the Kansas City region) was a frequent choice to make the Final Four.  As you can see from the standings, many fewer entries have points they can win in the last two rounds.

Those that can - keep cheering for your selections.  We all know that literally anything can happen in the NCAA Tournament.  Although Marcus Jackson of Reston, Virginia is the highest ranking entry with Virginia as a champion, lurking not too far behind him is Ashley Poer #2 of Lake Worth, Florida, who has Virginia defeating Michigan State in the finals.  Adam Jorgensen of Jupiter, Florida is the highest ranking bracket that has Michigan State winning the championship, and he also has Virginia making the finals.  Nobody has Auburn or Texas Tech winning the championship.  But, 1 person did select Auburn into the Final 4.  For that, my cousin Michael Litsey of Los Angeles, California wins our "Pick of the Day" award.

"Winning" the pool by coming in last place is Cubbie Kroesen of Port St. Lucie, Florida.  The fact that Cubbie doesn't speak English, or human even for that matter, and has four legs may have hindered his basketball knowledge, but Cubbie at lease earns his money back.  Thanks for playing!!!!

Our champions - with the 2 remaining champions in bold are:  DukeFloridaFlorida StateGonzagaHouston, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, North CarolinaPurdueSyracuseTennessee, Villanova, Virginia.

We have a new leader, who is also a past leader.  Measha Williams #3 of Houston, Texas has re-taken the lead, and is still eligible to earn more points as he has Virginia in the finals.  Second Place Carolyn Fowler of Greenacres, Florida no longer is eligible to score any points, and thus she is hoping for a Texas Tech - Auburn final.

Although I will be posting updated standings after the semi-finals and the finals, this will be the last breakdown, as we will be shifting to pseudo-live blogging our trip from Minneapolis beginning on Friday.

Feel free to double check your scores.  Let me know if you see a discrepancy.  Otherwise, enjoy the break week, and the Final 4!

NCAA Tournament Pool - Sweet 16/Day 2

We have a winner!!!  The pool is now over.  OK, not the entire pool but we do have a winner as Ashley Poer of Lake Worth, Florida has clinched last place.  By scoring 0 points yesterday, she has lost all of her remaining teams and can no longer score any points.  This will give her the "Worst Pick of the Day" award, but also her money back!  Congratulations.  What sealed this ... ahem "Victory" ... for Ashley was Griffey Parker of Washington, D.C.'s correct selection of Villanova, which vaulted Griffey over Ahsley.  Don't worry Ashley, we will always have our doubles beer pong title!!!

As far as the basketball action, and its effects on the pool, most people correctly had 2 of yesterday's winners.  Most were some combination of Villanova, Kansas and Duke.  If you had three correct picks yesterday you gained significant ground.  The big difference make yesterday was Texas Tech over Purdue.  Seventeen total entries had the third seeded Red Raiders in the Elite 8.  Of those 17, 9 not only had Texas Tech, but also the aforementioned Villanova, Kansas and Duke.  Those 9 entries -although way more than I would normally like to select - win the "Pick of the Day".  Congratulations to Carolyn Fowler and Jane Reynolds (combined entry), of Wellington, Florida, Day Yi 2, of New York, New York, Chris Kroesen of West Palm Beach, Florida, Joshua Zdrowak of Orlando, Florida, Allison Parker of Washington, D.C., Katie Kollmeyer of Lantana, Florida, Max Macon 3 of Jupiter, Florida, Measha Williams 2 of Houston, Texas, and Cathy Donahoe of, honestly, I don't know (if I had to guess I would say Jacksonville, Florida, but I am not sure).  Now that I look at this in print, that is a lot of people to share an award, so I am giving today's "Pick of the Day" to Max Macon 3 of Jupiter, Florida, as he had all 4 games correct and today is his birthday.  Happy Birthday Max!!!

Since Texas Tech is the outlier of yesterday's winners (Villanova, Kansas and Duke are true basketball bluebloods), today's basketball history focuses on Texas Tech.  We have learned about games, teams, championships, players and coaches so far this tournament, so today's history lesson will focus on one play.  This play is one of the more amazing play's in NCAA Tournament history.  In a second round game being played in Richmond, Virginia, Texas Tech was tied with North Carolina 16-16, with 12:06 left in the first half.  Jason Sasser received the ball on the wing and backed his defender down into the post.  As Sasser went up for a hook, Darvin Ham slashed down the center of the lane.  Sasser's shot missed, and Darvin Ham skied for the rebound over North Carolina's 7'3" center and while dunking the rebound shattered the backboard.  The Tar Heels never recovered after this "Ham Slammich", and the Red Raiders shattered North Carolina.  You can see the play HERE.

Although Ham only averaged 8.1 points per game and 5.1 rebounds per game throughout his college career, and although he went undrafted by the NBA, Ham spent 8 years in the NBA (and a few more internationally), even winning an NBA Championship in 2004 with the Detroit Pistons.

We still have only four of the original thirteen different champions remaining, and only 1 is in action today, Michigan.  Those teams will continue to be listed in every update in bold so long as they remain in the pool.  ArizonaCincinnati, Duke, FloridaGonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Villanova, Virginia and Xavier.  Those that have Michigan in the Final Four are the only entrants that have the chance to earn points today.

As we enter today, Bryan van Gorder Canajoharie, New York and Hollywood, California still leads, but the competition behind him is heating up.  There is a four-way tie for second only two points behind Bryan, and three of those entrants still have their champion remaining, all Villanova.  Three points behind them is a tie for 7th place with our first Kansas champion bracket.  Duke's highest bracket for now is in a T-20, but only 9 points behind the leader, and Michigan's highest champion is T-33, but only 12 points behind the leader, with each of today's games worth 8 points.

Remember to check my math, and let me know if you have any questions regarding your bracket.
