IWS #182 - the results

hoopsguy · 03-23-2011, 11:27 PM

Our bracket had 21 teams, with your usual mixture of Cinderellas and power conference players.

1.) What team do you think will win the NCAA basketball tournament this year?

Only 3 teams received votes. #1 seed Pitt is outraged.
Ohio State - 12
Duke - 5
Kansas - 4

2.) What NCAA basketball team do you always root against?

I had thought of wording this one, "other than Duke, who do you always root against" but figured that would lead to a ton of "Duke" responses. Best intentions, but lousy question that ended up being an eliminator.
Duke - 19
UK - 1
Kansas - 1

3.) If you could hire any college basketball coach to run your team who would it be?

Early responses were mixed, but something like the last ten responses all had that dude from Duke.
Coach K - 16
Izzo - 3
R. Williams - 1 (just didn't want anyone thinking it was Buzz)
Knight - 1

4.) Who do you think will be the #1 pick in the NBA draft next year?
Stupid likes the Buckeye, even though I didn't see a single draft board with him at the top.
Sullinger - 9
Williams - 4 (again, not Buzz)
Irving - 4
Walker - 2
Jimmer - 1
Austin Rivers - 1 (note - he is a high school senior)

5.) In what year do you think that the NCAA will adopt a playoff format for Division 1 college football?
Cynical group. Hope you are incorrect on this one.
Never - 11
2020 - 5
2015 - 3
2013 - 1
2025 - 1

6.) What college basketball program has the least attractive cheerleaders?
This is where the fan came out for most people. Widest range of answers, but if you weren't looking at (or, more appropriately, averting your eyes from) the Blue Devils you were giving away points.
Duke - 8
Notre Dame - 2
Kansas - 2
BYU - 1
Iowa - 1
Wisconsin - 1
Seton Hall - 1
Army - 1
Ohio St - 1
Butler - 1
Va Tech - 1
Alabama - 1

Wow, my first win ever, super excited.

Will have to get with RPI fan for the next game

jbergey22 · 03-24-2011, 12:19 AM

Really, Duke has unattractive cheerleaders?

And coach K would be a disaster in the NBA.

Congrats Lathum and RPI

CrimsonFox · 03-24-2011, 12:23 AM

Thanks hoops! Great stuff! My first IWS even.

I just put Duke or Duke derivatives for all my answers.

Although I did look up the rookie guy as he seemed top of many lists. Didn't see this guy that won on them either. :P

Bobby Knight...sheesh....

Gratz to the winners!

That is what I did.

And I accidentally looked at a NBA Mock for 2012. Doh!

You are correct; he is a very high regarded high school senior

That answer, along with the "Army" cheerleaders, was the one that made me laugh the hardest.

Suburban Rhythm · 03-24-2011, 07:09 AM

I wish I would have gone with my first instinct of NEVER for the football playoff, but thought that was a cop out answer.

We need to consider banning winners that forget their repsonsibility to the board.
