There weren’t too many upsets during the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, but watching Duke University lose in the first round is always a bonus. It gives you the hope that one day supremacy might be beaten, even if they have the refs and your star players paid off.
A year ago to this day I wrote a cautionary blog post asking people to temper their support for the prostitute that was accusing the Duke lacrosse players of rape. No one rode out with me except VIK from Biochemical Slang. The rest of y’all are some effin’ cowards! VIK, you are having your celebrity status at DP Dot Com upgraded. Expect some free shit in the mail.
It’s exciting to see the influence that RAFI and I are having on the internets as far more interracial Internets Celebrities are getting their swaggers in order. Turn the speakers down if your at the office. Video link via Nah’Right Lite.
NCAA Pool Bonus Points
DP Dot Com resident statisticologist LM has been keeping track of the NCAA Pool Bonus Points and he has even formatted a few more questions for this week. The questions that still have to be scored for the 1st seed to bow and the tourney MVP are available for only the folks that posted responses last week. Anyone else is free to answer these new Bonus Points questions.
But first, let’s look at the points tally…
P-CITY = 7 pts
LM = 6 pts
J trademark = 1 pt
SASHA = 2 pts
CB4 = 1 pt
The DALLAS = 3 pts
CASHUS CLAY = 4 pts
28 footer (3 points)
Which conference will send the most teams to the Final Four?
The Miracle (3 pointer + foul shot = 4 points)
Rising Sons : Name the final round each of these famous sons will reach**
UNLV point guard Kevin Kruger (son of UNLV coach Lon Kruger)
Georgetown forward Patrick Ewing Jr. and coach John Thompson III (sons of former Hoya center Patrick Ewing, coach John Thompson Jr.)
The Ohio State guard Mike Conley Jr. (son of Mike Conley, former world record holder in triple jump)
Florida Gator Joakim Noah (son of tennis legend Yannick Noah)
**partial credit accepted for this question
Even though I didn’t jump in…no love for D.J. Strawberry? Darryl’s little boy. By the way is his pops out of rehab yet?
^ D.J. Strawberry’s team was ousted by the little white school that could – Butler
Mike Conley is a baller……………….Dude that Kruger kids story is wild he went to ASU last year (mi alma mater for my sophmore year, does that count) led the nation in minutes, enrolled into a graduate program at UNLV didnt even have to sit out a year and now he is balling for his dad looking like a poor version of Travis Diener
After seeing USC murder Kevin Durant and the Longhorns am starting to think they might make it to the final 4 so I think the Pac 10 – Southern Cal, Oregon, UCLA will have the most teams in the final 4 Kevin Kruger will exit in sweet 16 Patrick Jr will exit in the final 4 Mike Conley Jr gonna see this shit to the end and Joakim Noah will make it to the final but Florida wont win

^^^Joakim dont hurt em’…….they are making it to the ‘chip again
Yo am I the only one in our bracket to have USC in the Final 4, No OJ Mayo……………..I hope they smash UNC and my hate for UNC is about to hit Duke proportions jus cuz of bitch as Tyler Hansborough
28 Footer = Pac 10
1. UNLV = this round (3rd)
2. Georgetown = Final Four
3. Ohio St. = Finals (where they will win, if that matters..)
4. Florida = Final Four
Damn…I guess we see how much attention I’ve paid to this.

glad to have you as co-chair of the separate our state committee.
FLORIDA STATE REPEAT!!! on the strength of sideshow bob..wordlife
damn. my bracket is just effed the eff up. too bad its on the internets…..can’t tear it up….
How do I answer this?…everybody you mentioned but the pac 10 will have 1 team in the final 4. Does that work for an answer?
Kruger – elite 8
Noah, Conelly, and Ewing final four
@ sangano
Take the “STATE” out of repeat, that’s the Tallahassee squad making a repeat visit to the Not Important Tournament, not the Gators from Gainesville stomping through the Big Dance again.
Now to LONG SHOTS
The Big 12 will send Kansas and Texas A&M
Kruger and UNLV reach Elite Eight then fall
Ewing and Thompson win again, like their daddies did in 1984
Mike Conley and The Ohio State fall short against Tennessee in round of 16
Noah reaches the Final Four but sinks against Georgetown in the semifinals
@ J
Which conference if any will send multiple teams? By your answer that would mean nobody’s going from the Pac-10, so if that’s what you meant you’re good.
Yup, that’s what I meant, one team from sec, big east, and big 12 go, nobody from the pac 10 goes.
Thanks for looking out.
(clears throat) j(tm) is WRONG!
pac10’s gonna rep. that’s it. hollers.
28 footer – SEC (FL, TN)
The Miracle – UNLV (Elite 8 )
Ohio St (Sweet 16)
Florida (Final 4)
G’Town (the ‘Ship)
“you have to say Sweet 16 or Elite 8”
Okay…
1. UNLV = Sweet 16 (i.e. 3rd round)
2. Georgetown = Final Four
3. Ohio St. = Finals (where they will win, if that matters..)
4. Florida = Final Four
