Look what you did @AWilli6995

@AWilli6995 has the next question.

 

[dukedevilz]

Here's a fun fact:

From 1939 to 1976, only THREE teams with 5 or more losses, won the title. Since then, 20 teams have done so.

And not a single Pre-1939 Helms National Champion had more than 4 losses

Don McClean

Impressive. Most people go for Kareem, Walton, or Reggie Miller. Don MacLean is the correct answer. You're up again!

What was the score of the Duke-Kentucky game back in November of 2018?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

What was the score of the Duke-Kentucky game back in November of 2018?

I think it was f&ck off to zero.

For the record. KU still has the largest margin of victory against UK.

 

[dukedevilz]

Not Pat Ewing or Ralph Sampson. It is in the right decade, however.

Which 2 time Tournament MOP never played a minute of professional basketball?

 

[dukedevilz]

Which 2 time Tournament MOP never played a minute of professional basketball?

Wow. That's a tough one. Don't think I'm going to get this one. I can narrow it down to four schools - and I'm certain this was pre-1970. But, hard to think of a MOP that didn't play professionally.

Doubt this is right, but I'll say Ralph Beard.

 

[dukedevilz]

Or maybe his teammate, Alex Groza.

 

[schoonerwest]

No on Beard and Groza.

I’ll give a hint. He helped win the gold medal on two Olympic teams.

 

[dukedevilz]

No on Beard and Groza.

If I were a betting man, I'd say the guy played for Cincinnati in the early 60's. They won the titles in 61 and 62, IIRC. But, can't remember who that player was for some reason.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Which 2 time Tournament MOP never played a minute of professional basketball?

I'm probably way off but Guy and Handcock?

 

[schoonerwest]

Nope

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Nope

i cheated

 

[JimboBBN]

I feel like you should only get two answers max before you lose.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I definitely a loser, I gave two answers to a singular question.

 

[JimboBBN]

Yea, I have no idea who this could be.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Oh.

You sure screwed up my story. Damn.
