At the end of the season, I run a free contest for picking the results of the NCAA Tournament.
The contest is mainly a way for me to keep in touch with friends,
but I will open it to a limited number of entries from the Internet.
THE 2011 HOOPS CONTEST IS NOW OVER. (Thanks, everybody! -- Ron)

We're finally getting under way. (Mo' problems than you can imagine.)
Welcome Rookies!
We're down quite a bit numbers-wise from last year due to the short turnaround deadline (and my own many SNAFUs),
but there's no way around it. It's one thing to have after-the-fact knowledge of one 16/16 result, but it's another thing
entirely to know the results of a 11/11 and a 12/12 game. (There are people who picked USC through to the Sweet 16.
It's an unfair advantage over those contestants to know that team is already out before you even make your picks.)
So we're stuck with this new tight turnaround. (This first time out was a real headache, but we'll just have to adjust
to it.)

UNC-Asheville / AR-Little Rock was fun in the tradition of the "classic" Play-In games we're used to. Fun ... but still unnecessary, frankly.

Oh, Ozilline, The moon is almost full and you don't need a torchlight to see into these woods. Sister, get the medicine to keep you from decline. It's the waxin' and the wanin' that's always on your mind
I said, "Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you."
I had to put the dog down
Ozilline, she don't let you cry
"OZILLINE" |
I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down. Trust me.
Why can't we not be sober?
I want what I want.
"SOBER" |
Howdy.
Not sure these 2 whole points will mean that much at the end -- we're probably bound for a low-scoring average with a handful of runaway leaders. Main thing so far is to have avoided putting too much stock in USC.
At least the SEEDING COMMMITTEE is off to its usual bad start -- all four teams in white (which should mean they were the "higher seed") lost their FIRST FOUR games.

Again, the "classic" 16/16 Play-In game was fun -- no big men, so the guards had a field day in TX-San Antonio vs Alabama State -- TXSA's gMelvin JohnsonIII had 25p in the first half!
VCU-USC seemed a lot more like NIT-calibre than NCAA-quality to me. I'm glad to see the 3rd Colonial team have
a good showing, but still don't think they deserved to be there.
The CONSENSUS was way off on this MM > BCS "upset", splitting:
. 81-U S C . 44-V C U .

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat, I drift back in time and I find my feet down on Mainstreet.

Oh, tell him how my heart just breaks in two since he journeyed far. And even though his dreams of fame fell through, to me he will always be a star.

Didn't take long for our first shocker as LOUISVILLE goes down in just the third "2nd Round" game.
--
Butler-ODU was tight all the way through, befitting an 8/9 game.
The CONSENSUS was right on this early separator pick:
. 76-BUTLER . 49-O D U .
Dick/Donna Colver and Amy Lindsay were early co-leaders after this one.
It's always tough to know how much stock to put behind "overachieving no-name" teams like Louisville. Well, some of us
found out the hard way as all-time rebounder cKenneth Faried snatched down 17 more.
Only Noah Schechter picked this shocker -- hats off!
. 124-LOUISVILLE . 1-MOREHD ST .
No change at the top
(but 98 people lost a Sweet 16 team in UofL; 15 Elite 8s; 8 Final Fours (Bruce Ingram,
Sharon Keld, Adina Waitman); 5 runners-up (Stephen Colquitt, Andrew Drexler,
Brian Hooper, Kevin Lewis) and Jim Stapleton gets the honor of the first person this year to lose
his national champion).
gJuan Fernandez' leaner in the lane nixed Penn State's upset bid and kept Temple dancing.
More movement from this separator pick:
. 75-TEMPLE . 50-PENN ST .
Dick/Donna Colver were alone at the top.
(Corey Hollowell and Terry Neville lost an Elite 8 team in PennSt).
Didn't think so ahead of time, but as it played out I thought Princeton deserved the win over Kentucky
(but pBrandon Knight's driving layup saved the day for the Wildcats). Argh!
Only a handful of Tiger faithful went for the upset:
. 111-KENTUCKY . 14-PRINCETON .
No change at the top
(and only the True OrangeBloods had PU as far as the Sweet 16: Rhoads Hollowell, The Schechters
(Aidan, David and Noah) and Talia Waitman).
You could see that Richmond was underseeded as a #12 -- I had them rated almost even with Vanderbilt --
(but I didn't have the guts to pick this one).
Things stretched out thanks to this upset separator pick:
. 69-VANDY . 56-RICHMOND .
No change at the top
(but 17 people lost a Sweet 16 team in Vandy; Corey Hollowell lost an Elite 8 team; Valerie Begeal lost
her runner-up).
gJimmer Fredette's 32p7a for BYU was a pretty typical game for him, but the team overall isn't the same without fBrandon Davies. They're having much more trouble separating from ordinary teams than they did at full strength.
Wisconsin was able to slow down Belmont (and not the other way around) as the Badgers won comfortably.
The CONSENSUS had it right:
. 94-WISCONSIN . 31-BELMONT .
Robert Altman, Andy Kaufman and Joel Reissman moved up into a three-way tie for the lead.
(11 people lost a Sweet 16 team in Belmont; Rand Wise lost an Elite 8).
I must admit that UCLA and Michigan State were two teams I never could figure out this season. First half: UCLA 42-24;
second half: MichSt 52-36. Go figure.
The CONSENSUS was just as split as the game result on this separator pick:
. 65-U C L A . 60-MICH ST .
A group of 11 surged to the lead: Robert Altman, Michael Gee, Bruce Ingram,
John D. Jackson Jr., Andy Kaufman, Talbot Nunnally, Alex Olivas, Mike Oshins,
Joel Reissman, Dan Wachspress and the CONSENSUS.
(11 people lost a Sweet 16 team in MichSt; 6 lost an Elite 8 (Sharon Keld, David Nix, Mike Panza,
Arlene Pedovitch); Brian Pendleton lost a Final Four team; Alexandra Ferguson lost her national champ.)
The CONSENSUS was mostly right again on another separator pick:
. 67-CINCINNATI . 58-MISSOURI .
The lead pack was down to Robert Altman, Michael Gee, Andy Kaufman, Alex Olivas,
Dan Wachspress and the CONSENSUS.
(11 people lost a Sweet 16 team in Mizzou; Sharon Keld, Talbot Nunnally and Sharon Keld lost
an Elite 8).
Call it The "East Coast Bias" Game. Gonzaga manhandled St. John's and never looked in trouble.
The CONSENSUS missed on this upset separator pick:
. 71-ST JOHNS . 54-GONZAGA .
Only Andy Kaufman and Alex Olivas were able to hang onto the lead.
(41 people lost a Sweet 16 team in StJohns; 18 lost an Elite 8; Kevin Cuskley, Dick/Donna Colver,
Kyle Lewis, Cato Laurencin, Rich O'Malley and Yehuda Waitman lost a Final Four team).
Another upset favorite, Utah State, couldn't pull it off against resurgent Kansas State.
The CONSENSUS was on the right side:
. 82-KANSAS ST . 43-UTAH ST .
(14 lost a Sweet 16 in UtahSt; Rich O'Malley and Adina Waitman lost an Elite 8 team; Vic Bolton
lost a Final Four team).
At the end of the first big day of games, alone at the top is former champ
Alex Olivas

Back in the long stretch of loneliness that I have come to call a living, I'm getting something for this Love's Labour even when I am forgetting.
And oh-we-oh, little perennials,
Daughter of my father's second cousin --
"LITTLE PERENNIALS" |
I don't want to wake you but I'd like to tell you that I love you, that the candlelight fell like a crescent upon your feather pillow.
For there's more ways than one,

Mostly, the "upset special" teams that most people could see coming haven't panned out; at least, Oakland made it close
at the end against Texas.
(These 4 lost a Sweet 16 team in Oakland: Jim Carson, Jonathan Kaufman, David Kee, Tim Wolfert.)
Tennessee's flop loss to Michigan might have been partially due to the A.D. saying the day before that coach Bruce Pearl's
future was in doubt -- but at some point you have to play for yourself more than your coach. That was an embarrassment.
The CONSENSUS was well out of the know, splitting:
. 70-TENNESSEE . 55-MICHIGAN .
After this, 4 people shared the lead: Michael Gee, Andy Kaufman, Alex Olivas
and Dan Wachspress.
(Emily Barry lost her runner-up team in Tenn.)
George Mason-Villanova was just as close for the CONSENSUS as the game was on the court:
. 66-GEO MASON . 59-VILLANOVA .
(Losing a Sweet 16 team in Nova: Valerie Begeal, Alana Brandt, Michael Flint).
How often do things finish with a game-saving blocked shot? It's the second big game in recent weeks
for Arizona's cDerrick Williams(22p10r) -- Washington in the regular season, and now Memphis in the NCAAs. Impressive.
(Michael Gee fell off the pace; 5 people lost a Sweet 16 team in Memph: Robert Altman, Mike Begeal,
Valerie Begeal, Alexandra Ferguson, Anne Lewis).
The CONSENSUS was on the wrong side of the Texas A&M/Florida State separator pick:
. 72-TEXAS A+M . 53-FL STATE.
Andy Kaufman was alone on top after this
(Losing a Sweet 16 team in TXAM: Matthew Cramer, the picks by TNT's Charles Barkley;
losing an Elite 8 team: Michael Flint, Brian Pendleton, J.D. Zeiler).
Marquette made the statement for the Big East's depth (that Villanova couldn't), beating the Atlantic 10 champ Xavier.
The CONSENSUS was way wrong on this upset pick:
. 87-XAVIER . 38-MARQUETE .
(Losing an Elite 8 team in Xavier: Warren Adams, Jeff Kleinlein, Ken Van Ness,
Mark Schreiber; losing a Final Four team: Emily Barry, Lawrence Brandt)
Against UNLV, Illinois looked like the powerhouse they were expected to be at the start of the season.
The CONSENSUS was decidedly in the know on this #9-over-#8 "upset":
. 70-ILLINOIS . 55-U N L V .
Jacob Wachspress moved up to take over the lead
(Valerie Begeal lost a Sweet 16 team in UNLV).
Having Georgia in the tournament always provides a temptation for many contestants -- (especially with a team that has
underachieved based on its individual talent).
That said, the CONSENSUS did well staying on the right side of this one:
. 83-WASHGTN . 42-GEORGIA .
(Losing a Sweet 16 in UGa: Stephen Colquitt, Joey Sampson,
the picks from THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION's Mark Bradley); losing an Elite 8 team:
Anne Lewis; losing a Final Four team: Talbot Nunnally).
Didn't think they deserved a bid, but give VCU credit for taking advantage of its opportunity.
Georgetown's late-season collapse continued into the NCAAs with a blowout loss.
The CONSENSUS was blind-sided:
. 105-GTOWN . 14-U S C . 7-V C U .
Hats off to those who called this expert pick: Lawrence Brandt, Matthew Cramer, David Kee,
Chris Malone, Noah Schechter, Rand Wise and the picks from SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
(Losing an Elite 8 team in Gtown: Andrew Drexler, Rob Greanias, Joe Holloway,
Rhoads Hollowell, Anne Lewis, William Vickers).
Your overnight leader at the end of Round 2:
Jacob Wachspress

Showboat coming up the river. See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze. I can hear the crickets singing in the evening. Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees.
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady,
"DIXIE LILY" |
Try and enjoy the here and now --
I tried to live my life in one day.
I bit off more than I can chew.

The CONSENSUS was solidly correct for Kentucky through to the Sweet 16:
. 94-KENTUCKY . 22-W VIRGINIA . 5-PRINCETON . 4-CLEMSON .
Moving back to the top were Andy Kaufman and Alex Olivas
(Cato Laurencin lost an Elite 8 team in WVa).
(Losing an Elite 8 team in UCLA: Kevin Barry, Valerie Begeal, Alana Brandt, Amy Lindsay.)
Nobody had points riding on Morehead State against Richmond:
. 98-LOUISVILLE . 17-VANDY . 10-RICHMOND.
Hats off to these 10 who made the Pick Of The Contest (so far) seeing the Spiders through to the Sweet 16:
Robert Altman, Lawrence Brandt, Rhoads Hollowell, John Jackson Jr., Jeff Kleinlein,
Arlene Pedovitch, David Schechter, Steve Spiegel, Daniel Vogel, Rand Wise.
The back-to-back bonehead fouls by Butler then Pitt at the end of their game is a perfect microcosm of what a terrible year
this is in college hoops. The Big East regular season champ goes out on an utterly stupid play.
Losing Pitt was a massive blow to the entire Contest:
. 119-PITT . 4-BUTLER . 2-O D U .
Did I say, Pick Of The Contest? -- No, this is the Pick Of The Contest. Hats off to these 4:
Alana Brandt, Michael Colquitt, Pam Russell, Adina Waitman
(110 people lost an Elite 8 team in Pitt; 76 people lost a Final Four team; 30 people lost their national runner-up;
these 12 lost their national champ: Warren Adams, Bill Cobau, Bruce Ingram, Andy Kaufman,
Amy Lindsay, Brendan Moriarty, Alex Olivas, Mike Oshins / Ali Kur, Joel Reissman,
David Schechter, Dan Wachspress
and the picks from NEWARK STAR-LEDGER's Bracket Boy.
Glad to see pJimmer Fredette(34p6a) do his thing when the full attention of the national spotlight was on him.
He is having one of the greatest seasons anybody's ever had, but it's been mostly only by stat and highlight
as far as most people know of him. (I had to get the bartender at a sports bar to dial up some obscure satellite channel
to watch the first clash with then-undefeated San Diego State; and the guy, who professed to be a college basketball fan,
couldn't figure out why I wanted to watch that game. "Did you go to one of those schools?")
Most people did still have depleted BYU through to the Sweet 16:
. 67-B Y U . 41-ST JOHNS . 16-GONZAGA . 1-WOFFORD .
(Ken Van Ness and the picks by (Dick Vitale) lost an Elite 8 team in Gonz.)
I think Jacob Pullen(38p) wound up being a better player by the end of Kansas State's "underachieving" season
than he ever was at the overhyped start of it. I, too, expected a lot from them, but I never thought of him
as the carry-the-team-on-your-back calibre talent that he became. (Don't get the big deal that he cried after they lost.
What's he supposed to do? You want people to care that much -- caring about stuff is what gives it meaning.)
The CONSENSUS was all over the place over which team would eventually claim this spot, but was ultimately
on the right side of this key separator pick:
. 57-WISCONSIN . 43-KANSAS ST . 14-UTAH ST . 11-BELMONT .
(14 people lost an Elite 8 team in KansSt; losing a Final Four team: Dana Farro, Chris Pike,
Jason Pike, Pam Russell, Jennifer Zeiler; losing her national runner-up: Dana Farro.)
The star power was on display Saturday night and bKemba Walker(33p5a5r) did his part as well for Connecticut. Great stuff.
The insertion of the "expert"/"celebrity" picks gave the Contest a new overall leader:
the picks by (President Barack Obama)

Dices que ya no me quieres, que no me supportas. Dices que mucho me ódias, pero no es verdad. Sabes que soy de tu vida, que más te valida. Sabes que soy tu hombre, que soy tu secreto . . . que soy tu final.
Si tú fues pecadora, yo peco de amor por tí.
Si tu odio es amor -- ódiame, ódiame, ódiame, pero no me dejes.
"ÓDIAME PERO NO ME DEJES" |
Um ... whenever Duke escapes an early round game like it did with Michigan, ...
(Losing an Elite 8 team in Mich: Corey Hollowell).
With all of the incomplete teams and bonehead plays that have decided games, it was reassuring to see such a dominant performance from Ohio State (and I'm thankful that we're now able to switch away to another game on our own now.)
I only saw the referee count "4" before denying a timeout to Texas at the end of its game with Arizona. You hate to see
a game's outcome determined by a ref's intervention (which, for me, this was a completely wrong action). He created
a turnover that didn't exist; but give the Wildcats' fDerrick Williams credit for converting the 3-point play to give them
a 70-69 win.
The CONSENSUS was mostly wrong on this key upset pick:
. 83-TEXAS . 31-ARIZONA . 5-MEMPHIS . 4-OAKLAND .
(16 people lost an Elite 8 team in TX; losing a Final Four team: Butch Cooper, Joe Felix,
Andy Kaufman, David Nix, Paul Quintas, Bob Van Gulick and (Doug Gottlieb);
losing his national runner-up: Andrew Brandt.)
BRACKETBUSTERS was an indication of how tough the top of the Colonial really was, but who foresaw FIRST FOUR VCU
all the way through to the Sweet 16? ... Um, well, nobody did.
. 95-PURDUE . 26-GTOWN . 4-U S C .
(47 people lost an Elite 8 team in Purd; losing a Final Four team: Chuck Dieringer, Melissa Dieringer,
Andy Kaufman, Alex Olivas, Mike Oshins / Ali Kur, Robert Waitman, (Bracket Boy),
(Doug Gottlieb); losing their runner-up: Matthew Cramer, Jeremy Oshins; losing his national champ:
Dan Vogel).
The 11th Big East team into the field is through to the Sweet 16 -- the league only placed 2 teams into the second week
(but that's because two 3rd-round matches were intra-league knockouts; it could easily have been 4 out of 16).
The CONSENSUS didn't see this one coming:
. 102-SYRACUSE . 20-XAVIER . 3-MARQUETE .
Hats off to these three who got this expert pick: Michael Carmen, Anne Lewis, Bob Van Gulick
(59 people lost an Elite 8 team in 'Cuse; losing a Final Four team: Vic Bolton, Bobby Close,
Blucher Cooper V, Joe Fabian, Cato Laurencin, Joel Reissman, John Horton,
Allen Truesdale, Jacob Wachspress; losing a runner-up: Kevin Cuskley, Kimmie Hollowell;
losing his national champ: David Kee).
At a loss to explain a result like Florida State over Notre Dame -- it's totally against the trend of how those two teams
performed in the regular season. I guess you could have seen that FSU has been a better tournament performer than ND
recently.
Again, the CONSENSUS was blind-sided:
. 116-NOTR DAME . 5-FL STATE . 4-TEXAS A+M .
Bow down before these five who got this expert pick: Stephen Colquitt, Andrew Drexler,
Joe Holloway, Rhoads Hollowell, Bruce Ingram
(79 people lost an Elite 8 team in ND; 21 people lost a Final Four team; losing their runner-up: Ken Colquitt,
Corey Hollowell, Jonathan Kaufman, Steve Spiegel, Allen Truesdale, Dave Wood;
losing their national champ: Emily Barry, Blucher Cooper V, Michael Farro, Jacob Wachspress.)
Perhaps the strangest leader ever in the Hoops Contest at the Sweet 16 break:
the picks by (President Barack Obama)!
Go figure.

This might be the most brutally physical tournament I can recall. Wow.
- -
Watching pKemba Walker(36p) play is very reminscent of -- dare I say it -- yes, Michael Jordan. Not the high-flying
dunker, but the unstoppable scorer. And on this night, gJeremy Lamb(24p) was his Scottie Pippen. Great stuff.
The CONSENSUS was almost dead-evenly split:
. 59-U CONN . 58-SN DGO ST . 3-MISSOURI . 2-PENN ST . 2-CINCINNATI . 1-TEMPLE .
(23 people lost a Final Four team in SnDgoSt; losing their runner-up: Brook Brown, Dan Ginsburg,
Jim Stapleton, Dan Vogel; losing their national champ: Adina Waitman, Tim Wolfert.)
Not sure the presence of its starting forward would have made the difference for BYU against Florida -- (although it did
only just lose in OT, I guess). The Gators are very well balanced and hurt the Cougars outside and inside, and hounded
pJimmer Fredette(32p5a) into 11-for-29 shooting (including 3-for-15 on threes).
The CONSENSUS was on it again:
. 60-FLORIDA . 36-B Y U . 18-ST JOHNS . 6-MICH ST . 4-U C L A . 1-GONZAGA .
(15 people lost a Final Four team in BYU; losing their runner-up: Lawrence Brandt, Adina Waitman;
losing her national champ: Anne Lewis.)
Take the Blue Devils out of the friendly confines of Charlotte and suddenly the Emperor has no clothes. Arizona manhandled
Duke in the second half -- 55-33 -- as xDerrick Williams exploded for 32p13r (including 5-for-6
on threes). The return of gKyrie Irving(28p) probably disrupted their chemistry -- fKyle Singler(18p8r) got
some, but gNolan Smith(8p5r;3/14 fg) was left out of the offense.
The CONSENSUS most decidedly did not see this coming:
. 104-DUKE . 15-TEXAS . 4-ARIZONA . 1-MICHIGAN . 1-TENNESSEE .
Hats off these few who got this expert pick: Joe Holloway, Amy Lindsay, Brendan Moriarty,
(Charles Barkley)
(89 people lost a Final Four team in Duke; 45 people lost their runner-up; 26 people lost their national champ.)
Butler seems to have perfected its style of barely legal physical play -- it's not exactly dirty, but it sure doesn't look
legitimate to me. Wisconsin's fJon Leuer(3p6r;1/12fg) couldn't even establish position in the lane because
cMatt Howard(20p12r) kept nudging him out all game long. gShelvin Mack got free against taller defenders
with the off-hand discard and stepping back to find himself "wide open" for his jumper. It bothered me about this team
last year -- especially with the perception of them as this innocent Cinderella story -- but there's a futility
in criticizing media darlings. "Everybody does it" doesn't sit well with me but, for sure, this entire tournament has been
full of physical play that the refs have seen fit to allow. There was a play late in the game with fHoward going for
a loose ball when the Badgers fMike Bruesewitz threw a deliberate shoulder right into him -- knocking him to the floor
on the sideline right in front of the referee who just looked and said, "Play on." (fHoward isn't going to complain
because that's the style he lives on.)
The CONSENSUS didn't have much faith in last year's national runner-up:
. 99-PITT . 13-KANSST . 7-WISC . 3-UTAH ST . 2-BUTLER . 1-BELMONT .
Only two can claim they got this expert pick: Alana Brandt, Michael Colquitt (who moves up
to second place).
(Losing a Final Four team in Wisc: Ken Colquitt, Dan Ginsburg, Bruce Gow, Jeremy Oshins,
John Pasquesi, Arlene Pedovitch.)
Strange but true -- our fearless leader remains Our Fearless Leader:
the picks by (President Barack Obama)!

So if you're too school for cool, and you're treated like a fool, you can choose to let it go. We can always party on our own.
So raise your glass if you are wrong
"RAISE YOUR GLASS" |
Is cTyler Zeller(27p15r) as good as his stats, or was this just the huge size advantage over Marquette?
The CONSENSUS was split but ultimately correct:
. 59-N CAROLINA . 55-SYRACUSE . 6-XAVIER . 3-WASHGTN . 2-GEORGIA .
No surprise in Kansas getting through to the Elite 8:
. 107-KANSAS . 15-LOUISVILLE . 2-VANDY . 1-RICHMOND .
- -
(That noise that you heard was the sound of brackets exploding all across the nation when the top seed went down!)
(Rarely have I rooted for Kentucky, but something about this Ohio State team has annoyed me all season.)
The Wildcats' cJosh Harrelson(17p10r) did enough to counterbalance the Buckeyes' cJared Sullinger(21p16r)
and UK's fDeAndre Liggins(15p6r) was big on both ends of the floor. gJon Diebler(16p) came through
with a clutch three-pointer to tie things up at 60-60, but freshman gBrandon Knight (for the second time
in three NCAA tournament games) came up with the game-winning shot after struggling on offense most of the game.
Needless to say that this was the biggest blow of all:
. 107-OHIO ST . 16-KENTUCKY . 1-W VIRGINIA . 1-CLEMSON .
Special props to these who came up with The Pick Of The Contest:
Emily Barry, Kevin Barry, Valerie Begeal, Alana Brandt, Michael Farro, Michael Flint, Nick Layzer, Amy Lindsay, Richard Meyer, Talbot Nunnally, Jason Pike, Steve Tibensky, William Vickers, Robert Waitman, (Charles Barkley), (Bracket Boy)
(95 people lost a Final Four team in OhioSt; 68 people lost their runner-up; 47 people lost their national champ.)
Only two people even had points riding on VCU-Florida State, and no one had the Rams anywhere near this game.
. 71-NOTR DAME . 43-PURDUE . 6-GTOWN . 3-TEXAS A+M . 2-FL STATE .
- -
The top of the standings may look the same, but it's the negative points that tell the real story.
For now, though, our leader remains
the picks by (President Barack Obama).

[I] You said if I was richer, I’d still be with ya -- now ain’t that some sh(**)? And although there’s pain in my chest, I still wish you the best with a "F(orget) you!"
Yeah, I’m sorry I can’t afford a Ferrari,
I pity the fool that falls in love with you.

Alana Brandt!
Connecticut's pKemba Walker(20p7a) and Arizona's bDerrick Williams(20p5r) were both good(-not-great), but it was
gJeremy Lamb(19p) who made big plays down the stretch in a key 10-0 run in UConn's 65-63 win.
The CONSENSUS did have some faith in the Huskies:
. 80-DUKE . 21-SN DGO ST . 14-U CONN . 7-TEXAS . 1-ARIZONA . 1-MICHIGAN . 1-TENNESSEE .
Back to a regular expert pick; hats off to these: Bill Cobau, Michael Colquitt,

Everybody wants a flat screen. Everybody wanna be seen. Everybody wanna be famous. Ain't nobody gonna blame us. Everybody wants a real deal. Everybody wants to cop a good feel. Everybody want mo' money. Everybody wanna taste of yo' honey. . . . Everybody wants to pick at your guitar. Everybody wanna ride in your fast car. Everybody wants a puff of your pipe dream. Everybody wanna a lick of your ice cream. The preacher wanna tell you how to live life. Your mama and daddy got you uptight. Your lover gonna go and pick another fight. I just wanna keep you up all night. . . . Yeah, this old world can bring you down and turn your smile into a frown, and break your heart and make you sad, drive you stark raving mad.
I just want to light you up, light you up like a fire.
"LIGHT YOU UP" |
Kansas has two twin power forwards who are good at post play (but don't even handle the ball well --
Arizona's fDerrick Williams is far beyond them in that area); but after that, everyone else on that team is just OK.
(gJosh Selby never developed into the GC-level superfrosh that he was billed to be.) VCU's perimeter players were
much more skilled (ball-handling, shooting) and the Rams have played the entire tournament with a desperate intensity
that none of their higher-seeded opponents could match.
Needless to say NO ONE saw this result coming:
. 86-KANSAS . 20-NOTR DAME . 10-PURDUE . 8-LOUISVILLE . 1-VANDY .
(81 people lost their runner-up in Kans; 35 people lost their national champ.)
Kentucky-North Carolina was the one high-profile matchup among the four Regional Finals, and it lived up to it.
The Wildcats have great quickness at four spots on the floor (and haven't been overmatched at the center spot, either).
They were able to slow the game down, which made the Tar Heels much less formidable.
The CONSENSUS at least had some inkling in this game:
. 82-OHIO ST . 17-N CAROLINA . 12-SYRACUSE . 11-KENTUCKY . 2-XAVIER . 1-GEORGIA .
Hats off to these who got this expert pick correct: Kevin Barry, Valerie Begeal, Nick Layzer,
Amy Lindsay, Richard Meyer, Jason Pike, Steve Tibensky, William Vickers,
Robert Waitman, (Charles Barkley), (Bracket Boy).
(Losing their runner-up in UNC: Alana Brandt, Jamie Hollowell, John Jackson Jr.,
Jennifer Zeiler; losing their national champ: Timothy Colquitt, Joe Holloway, Rich O'Malley,
Yehuda Waitman.)
Surviving on top (without scoring any points on the day):
Michael Colquitt

A miner's life is like a sailor's 'board a ship across the waves. Every day his life's in danger; still, he ventures, being brave. Watch the rocks, they're falling daily. Careless miners often fail. Keep your hands upon your wages and your eyes upon the scale.
Union miners, stand together.
You've been docked and docked again, boys.
"A MINER'S LIFE IS LIKE A SAILOR'S" |
Connecticut-Kentucky stayed tense throughout and was more miss than hit at the end. The Huskies had the ball and a 6-point
lead with two minutes to go and nearly blew the game. Again, good-not-great performances from the stars:
pKemba Walker(18p7a6r), tBrandon Knight(17p5a8r;6/23fg;3/11 3s). A real "survive-and-advance" game.
Taking the MAUI and Big East tournament champ to make the national final doesn't seem on paper like it was going out
on a limb, but the CONSENSUS was otherwise inclined:
. 59-OHIO ST . 43-DUKE . 8-N CAROLINA . 6-SN DGO ST . 3-U CONN . 3-SYRACUSE . 1-KENTUCKY . 1-TEXAS . 1-TENNESSEE .
I'm running out of superlatives. Call it the GRAND MASTER PICK that only these 3 divined:
Michael Colquitt, Cato Laurencin, Mark Schreiber
(Amy Lindsay was eliminated from winning this year's crown when Kentucky fell.)
The final tally is still to be determined. (The leader can't be caught, but second place is undecided.) Clinching the title for this year is:
Michael Colquitt!

BOTH: We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout. We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went out. JOHN: I'm goin' to Jackson. I'm gonna mess around. Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson. Look out Jackson town.
JUNE:
JOHN: When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow.
JUNE: BOTH: We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout . . .
"JACKSON" |
Masquerading as a man with a reason, my charade is the event of the season; and if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.
On a stormy sea of moving emotion,
"Carry on my wayward son.
"CARRY ON WAYWARD SON" |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quality of play aside, what Connecticut and Butler achieved this year are both noteworthy more than a normal year. bKemba Walker's final month of play -- winning five games in five days to win the Big East tournament followed up by a run to the NCAA title -- is as good as any "One-Man Team" runs anyone has had: Larry Bird, Danny Manning -- it's easily as impressive as that considering how young and untested his supporting cast was. And Butler's back-to-back runs to the national final by a Mid-Major team only trail the championship runs of Cincinnati(MVC) '61-63 and San Francisco(CBA) '55-56.

In the Contest, the thought at least occurred to the CONSENSUS:
. 41-OHIO ST . 29-KANSAS . 25-DUKE . 12-PITT . 4-N CAROLINA . 4-NOTR DAME . 2-SN DGO ST . 2-U CONN . 1-B Y U . 1-PURDUE . 1-SYRACUSE . 1-MICH ST . 1-FLORIDA . 1-LOUISVILLE .
Hats off to the two who came up with the CHAMPION'S PICK:
Michael Colquitt, Cato Laurencin
Michael's pick saved the Contest from a new record Lowest Winning Score; Cato's pick earned him second place overall.
The Kentucky > Ohio State result is probably most responsible for the difference in the Regional Breakdown:
REGION AVERAGE AVGNEG COUNT ------- ------- ------ ----- GA 54.8 -100.4 34 SOUTH 54.1 -104.9 23 EAST 53.5 -101.6 34 x-OTHER 52.5 -103.9 6 WEST 50.7 -102.7 30 MIDWEST 50.5 -103.9 13
We did manage to set new records for Lowest Average Score (53.0) and Highest Average Negative Points (-102.4). This was, for sure, the toughest tournament ever to pick with no #1- or #2-seeds making the Final Four.

I don't know the Colquitt family at all, personally, but they've been loyal participants in the Hoops Contest
for years now. The father, Ken, first entered all the way back in 1988, coming in as a co-worker
of Desmond Williams (my childhood friend from the neighborhood where I grew up, Urban Villa). Over time,
sons Stephen, Michael and Timothy entered as well along with wife Patricia (including the year
Ken so disliked her picks that she entered under her maiden name because he didn't want his last name associated
with them! -- Still one of my favorite HC anecdotes!)
On his ninth try, he's the first in the family to claim the title.
Your winner of the 2011 Hoops Contest is:
MICHAEL COLQUITT ! ! !
Congratulations, Michael! Well done!

Never insecure until I met you -- now I'm "bein' stupid". I used to be so cute to me, just a little bit skinny. Why do I look to all these things to keep you happy? Maybe get rid of you and then I'll get back to me. (Hey!)
My outsides look cool,
You can buy your hair if it won't grow.
"UNPRETTY" |
But time I cannot change, so here's to looking back. You know, I drink a whole bottle of my pride and I toast to change to keep these demons off my back. (Just get these demons off my back.)
'Cause I want to shimmer; I want to shine.

I'll rise when the sun goes down, cover every game in town. A world of my own -- I'll make it my "Home Sweet Home".
They got a name for the winners in the world.
"DEACON BLUES" |
When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say, "Live and let live." (You know you did. You know you did. You know you did.) But if this everchanging world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, say, "Live and let die."
