2022 NCAA Tournament Pool Round 1/Day 2

 

My apologies for being late today, but it was Marlins Spring Training Home Opener today, so I took a reprieve from basketball with baseball, before settling in for another day of basketball.  Apparently I missed a humdinger in North Carolina-Baylor, but that will be for discussion tomorrow.

So, yesterday I informed you that we have 140 entries in the pool.  I was wrong.  Paul Cummings of Lewis Center, Ohio notified me that only one of his entries showed up in the standings.  He is correct.  When typing up the standings, I completely skipped his second entry.  It is completely scored and entered into the current standings.  So, 141 entries it is!

I also erred in counting the number of champions.  I thought we had 11, but as it turns out we have 12.  I was so shocked that Edith Pecan of West Palm Beach, Florida had selected Virginia Tech as her champion, that I completely forgot to list it.  Even with losing Virginia Tech, Edith is still doing pretty well in the standings, but since she lost her other finalist also - LSU - so that will not last too long.  So, since we lost 0 other champions besides Virginia Tech, I am just adding them and leaving the remaining selections.  The teams will remain capitalized in bold so long as they remain in the tournament.  The selected champions are:  AUBURN, ARIZONA, BAYLOR, DUKE, GONZAGA, KANSAS, Kentucky, TENNESSEE, TEXAS TECH, VILLANOVA, Virginia Tech, WISCONSIN.

A lot of favorites were victorious yesterday (12), and only 2 qualifying bonuses, and a good number of people selected at least one of Notre Dame over Alabama or Iowa State over LSU, and even more than you would expect picked both of those upsets.  But, five entries had both of those upsets AND guaranteed one or other, for a maximum of 15 bonus points yesterday.  Those entrants are:  Scott Bieterman 1 of West Palm Beach, Bill Ganoe 3 of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Brian McMahon of Boca Raton, Florida, Barkley Sosa of Riviera Beach, Florida, and Paul Cummings of Lewis Center, Ohio.  Not only do these five receive the 15 bonus points and a huge rise in the standings, but they also become Co-Winners of the "Selection of the Day" award.

And because of that, we have old/new leaders.  Scott Bieterman 1 of West Palm Beach, Florida, Javier Rodriguez 2 of Coral Gables, Florida, and Day Yi 1 of Forest Hills, New York are co-leaders.  Lots of people are close after the close of round 1.

Since one entry each selected Cal-State Fullerton over Duke, Wright State over Arizona and Delaware over Villanova, only one team was a unanimous selection yesterday, the Auburn Tigers.  And, for the betterment of all of our brackets, they did not disappoint.  Although nowhere near unanimous, a large number of entrants chose Virginia Tech as their guaranty, and a surprising number of people selected Davidson to defeat Michigan State (which almost happened!).  This reminds me ....

Way, way back in 2008, The Davidson Wildcats were making their third straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.  Given their previous experience in the NCAA Tournament, Davidson was seeded 10, which gave them a first round matchup in Raleigh, North Carolina against the 7th seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs.  Davidson beat Gonzaga 82-76 behind 40 points from Stephen Curry.  That gave them a second round matchup with the 2 seed, Georgetown. Davidson defeated the Hoyas 74-70 behind Curry's 30 points to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

The Midwest regional was held in Detroit's Ford Field, and where the 3 seeded Wisconsin Badgers waited.  The Badgers were no match for a hot-shooting Curry, who scored 33 as the Wildcats won 73-56 to move on to an Elite Eight matchup with the 1 seed, Kansas Jayhawks.  Kansas was loaded, behind Sasha Kaun, Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers, but Davidson gave the Jayhawks all they could handle, only to fall 59-57 behind 25 points by Steph Curry.

Kansas went on to defeat North Carolina 84-66 in the semifinals, and defeated Memphis 75-68 to win the championship.  Steph Curry went on to be drafted 7th overall in the 2009 draft by the Golden State Warriors, win the NBA Championship 3 times (and counting?), win 2 NBA MVP Awards, and become the greatest three point shooter in the histrory of the game. 

Back to yesterday's action, most of the games were uneventful.  Only 4 were really exciting, with my favorite being the Miami/USC game.  After Charlie Moore made 2 free throws to put Miami up with 3 seconds left, I thought to myself, we haven't seen a true buzzer beater yet this tournament.  Luckily for Miami, Drew Peterson, fresh out of jail after murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio in 2003 - oh, not that Drew Peterson.  Let me try that again ....  Luckily for Miami, Drew Peterson, who up until that point was 3-6 from three-point range, missed a long-range three that would have eliminated the Hurricanes and advanced the Trojans

Players of the Day

5.  Joey Hauser, Michigan State.  27 points on 9-12 shooting (4-5 from three), along with 8 rebounds.

4.  Cormac Ryan, Notre Dame.  29 points while shooting 7-9 from three point range.

3.  Tyrese Hunter, Iowa State.  23 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals (7-11 from three).

2.  Jabari Smith, Auburn.  20 points, 14 rebounds and 1 thunderous dunk!  You can see that HERE.

1.  Johnny Davis, Wisconsin.  25 points, 8 rebounds, and led Wisconsin down the stretch.

Stats of the Day

4.  Illinois led Chattanooga for a grand total of 25 seconds.

3.  Miami had only 3 turnovers in its game against USC.

2.  Andre Curbelo's plus/minus in Illinois' win over Chattanooga was 32.  He played 30 minutes off the bench.

1.  Tyrese Hunter of Iowa State is only the second person to hit 7 three pointers and have 5 steals in a tournament game.  The first was some guy named Steph Curry!

2019 NCAA Tournament Pool Standings - Sweet Sixteen/Day 1

To reference yesterday's post, my Marlins are now mathematically eliminated from the baseball playoffs this season, so I can turn all of my attention this weekend to our basketball pool.  To quote Matt Hopps of Quincy, Massachusetts, "The Marlins are just short an arm".  God I hate him.  The good thing for me is that he fell from a tie for first place, so that is a start.  Our two NEW leaders are Max Macon 2 of Jupiter, Florida Measha Williams #3 of Houston, Texas.  Astute veterans of this pool may recognize Measha Williams # 3 as our third place finisher in the 2017 pool, the same year that Measha Williams #2 won the pool.  Welcome back to the top of the pool Measha.  For Max, however, yesterday was a bittersweet day as (1) Yes he did ascend into the lead; but (2) he lost his champion.  For that Max gets the "Hard Luck Bracket of the Day" Award, which I just made up.

Biscuit Zdrowak, of Orlando, Florida seems to be doing just fine after getting over the UCF loss to Duke, as he was one of a few brackets to go 4-0 yesterday.  With that stellar 16 point day, Biscuit dramatically rises to 100th place. The highest placed entrant with all four games correct yesterday was Max Marion #2, of Delray Beach, Florida.  With his 16 points, Max Marion - and yes we have multiple brackets from Max Macon and Max Marion, jumps up to 11th place.  Max MARION is our "Pick of the Day".

On the opposite side of the spectrum is Scott Bieterman of West Palm Beach, Florida.  Scott, who is an alumnus of Purdue University, was the highest ranking bracket to receive 0 points yesterday.  That is right folks, Scott picked Tennessee over his alma mater.  Now I do appreciate people who do not blindly select their own school to win even when they do not have a realistic, or even a possible, chance of winning - I am looking at you 2019 Florida fans - but Scott lost out on some important points and plummeted to 32nd place. For that he is awarded the "Worst Pick of the Day".

Now, plenty of others also received 0 points yesterday, and for those that fall into that category please note, this means that you will not receive any points after Saturday's games, either.

Three champions were defeated yesterday (we could have lost 4 maximum), so a bunch of brackets took a hit.  You can celebrate by seeing your champion unbolded from our list below.  Our champions - with the 8 remaining champions in bold - are:  Duke, Florida, Florida State, Gonzaga, Houston, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, Villanova, Virginia.

We have five potential champions playing tonight, culminating in a battle of picked champions in Kansas City, Missouri as #2 seed Kentucky - with or without P.J. Washington we do not know - plays #3 seed Houston.  The precursor to that game in Kansas City is top seeded North Carolina playing red-hot Auburn.  North Carolina might be without heralded freshman Nassir Little, who might be the most athletic player on the Tar Heels team. He participated in the shootaround today, but even if he plays he is likely to be slowed by a flu-like illness,  In the Washington, D.C. regional the #3 seed LSU Tigers play the Big 10 Champion and #2 seed Michigan State Spartans, with the closing game being top seeded Duke against fellow ACC rival Virginia Tech.

Hopefully these games are more interesting than last nights, which although two were fairly close at times, the games themselves were not very competitive.  Florida State - Gonzaga led off with Gonzaga holding a 8-11 point lead most of the game.  Florida State had a late flurry to pull within 3, but Gonzaga held serve and pulled away for the victory.  Although the game was not generally close, the dunks, blocks and steals were absolutely amazing.  For that reason this game was worth it.

The second game - Purdue and Tennessee - should have been eventful as it went to overtime.  But, Purdue jumped out to an 18 point lead and Tennessee seemed lucky to bring the game back to even, and actually took the lead before Carsen Edwards hit 2 out of 3 free throws to force overtime, where Tennessee ran out of steam, and players as multiple starters/contributors fouled out.

I am not even going to justify the late games with words as Michigan and Oregon were destroyed by Texas Tech and North Carolina, respectively.

Since I wrote last year about Texas Tech, and have already written about Purdue and Oregon this year, we are going to take a walk down memory lane and visit history of Gonzaga basketball in the NCAA Tournament.  Those of you as old as I remember that Gonzaga wasn't always a top-4 seed that perennially made Sweet Sixteens and Elite 8s (this is their 5th consecutive Sweet Sixteen - tops in the NCAA).  Gonzaga started as the plucky, small school underdog.

Way back in 1999, after some previous close calls, the Bulldogs  led by Matt Santangelo and Richard Frahm earned a 10th seed in the west regional.  Gonzaga received a scheduling break, though, as the team from Spokane, Washington only had to travel to Seattle to play against the 7th seeded Minnesota Golden Gophers, who they defeated 75-63.  Up next were the 2 seed, the Stanford Cardinal, which Gonzaga beat 82-74.  A much closer 73-72 win over the 6th seeded Florida Gators in Phoenix put Gonzaga into the Elite 8, where they lost to the top seeded and eventual champion Connecticut.

Gonzaga returned to the NCAA Tournament the following year behind star player Casey Calvary, and again earned the 10 seed in the West.  This time, Gonzaga had to travel to Tucson, Arizona and entertain the 7th seeded Louisville, Cardinals, which they dispatched 77-66, and followed that game with a victory over the second seeded St. John's 82-76 to earn a second consecutive Sweet Sixteen birth.  The Bulldogs, however, lost in the Sweet Sixteen to Purdue 75-66.

In 2001, Gonzaga returned again to the NCAA tournament, and would not miss another tournament through 2019, but this time as a 12th seed in the South Region, meaning the tournament committee did not think Gonzaga was even as good as the past two years and Gonzaga had to travel.  And travel they did as they defeated Virginia 86-85 and Indiana State 85-68 to return to the Sweet Sixteen for a third straight year.  Unfortunately, despite returning star players Casey Calvary and Dan Dickau, Gonzaga fell to a Michigan State team led by Charlie Bell and Zach Randolph.

A 2002 tournament firs round loss to Wyoming as a 6 seed showed the Gonzaga was not yet ready for life as a higher seed.  The Bulldogs followed that up with a first round victory in 2003 over Cincinnati as a 9th seed, then a 2004 first round victory over Valparaiso as a 2 seed and a 2005 victory over Winthrop as a 3 seed.  These tournament wins were short-lived as Gonzaga fell in the second round in each of these tournaments.

2006 would prove to be more successful for Gonzaga.  The Bulldogs returned to the tournament as a 3 seed, and defeated Xavier and Indiana before falling to UCLA in the Sweet 16, but at this point, Gonzaga is no longer the plucky underdog.

Gonzaga advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2009, 2016 and 2018, and to the Elite 8 in 2015 and 2019 and to the Final Four, where they finished second, in 2017.

For all of the Belmonts, UC-Irvine's and Liberty's out there, look to Gonzaga as your road map.  Hire a great coach (first Dan Monson, the Mark Few - who has been at Gonzaga for 20 years - and hope those coaches can continually bring in good players.

Enough history for today and boy do I hope something better happens in tonight's games that trigger a better - and more interesting - history lesson.  Plus, the NCAA Hockey Tournament is on with Harvard playing the #1 seed UMass Minutemen.  GO CRIMSON!!!

Feel free to check your scores.  Let me know if you see a discrepancy.  Otherwise, enjoy the start of the Sweet Sixteen.
