Period 1 -Basketball

Due Date: Wednesday, April 15th


Since March Madness is coming to a close, I thought this assignment would enhance your learning and understanding of the game.  I truly believe that you can learn just as much from watching the game as you can by playing it.  The Men's NCAA Championship game will be player on Monday, April 6th.  I would like you to watch the game (if that isn't possible, you can use other sources to answer the questions below).  Additionally, the semifinal games will be played April 4th with Michigan State vs. Duke at 6pm and Wisconsin vs. Kentucky at 8:30pm.  Both games will be on TBS.  Please answer each question based on the Championship game and please don't forget to put your name the Blog.


1.  Who won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game?





2.  Who lost?


3.  What was the final score?


4.  Who was the leading scorer from the winning team?


5. How did this player score most of his points (ie, lay-ups, jump shots, free throws, 3- pointers)?


7.  Who was the leading scorer from the losing team?


8.  How did this player score most of his points (ie, lay-ups, jump shots, free throws, 3- pointers)?


9. In your opinion, who was the best defensive player from the winning team? Why?


10. Did you think the most talented team won?  Why?

1. Duke won the Championship

2. Wisconsin lost to Duke

3. 68-63

4. Tyus Jones scored 23 for Duke

5. Jones went 7/7 from the free throw line and made clutch jump shots and lay-ups.

6. Frank Kaminsky scored 21 for Wisconsin

7. Kaminsky made 5/6 free throws and scored the rest of his points with the 3-point shot and taking it to the rim.

8. Jahlil Okafor stepped up in the 2nd half for Duke on the defensive side making play after play. He achieved this with his dedication to the game and his team.

9. I feel, if Kentucky made it to the championship over Wisconsin, it would have been harder for Duke to win, but I can't really tell who would have won because Kentucky was undefeated but not playing their best, and Duke was playing very well during the most important games in the tournament.

1. Duke won the championship
2. Wisconsin lost:(
3. 68-63
4. Tyus Jones was Dukes leading scorer
5. Jones scored most of his points from the free throw line and with layups.
6. Frank Kaminsky was Wisconsin's leading scorer.
7. Kaminsky scored mostly with post moves and layups.
8.I think Justise Winslow was the best defensive player because Sam Dekker was having a great tournament but only scored 12 against Winslow.
9. I believe the most talented team did win because there were two top ten recruits in Okafor and Jones on that team and even though Okafor only played 22 minutes they were still able to win.

1. Duke
2. Wisconsin
3. Duke:68-Wisconsin:63
4. Tyus Jones
5. He shot 2/3 behind the three point line and 7/13 in the paint. He played smart on offense but also on defense.
7. Frank Kaminsky
8. He shot 2/4 from the three point line and had 7/16 points in the paint.
9. I would say Justise Winslowwas the beat defensive player with 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 1 steal. He set his mind to get that championship and by looking at these stats that's exactly what he did.
10. Yes I do think the most talented team won because Duke is made up of so many aspects. You have the rebounder's, the scorer's, the hustle kids they have everything including a Great Coach.

1. Duke won
2. Wisconsin lost
3. 68-63
4. Tyus Jones
5. He made a lot of free throws, hit 2 threes, and drove to the basket a lot.
6. Frank Kaminsky
7. He made 5 free throws, hit 2 threes, and posted up and scored with a lot of up and under fakes,
8. I think Justise Winslow was the best defensive player. He had 3 blocks and 1 steal but also grabbed some boards to prevent another chance to score from Wisconsin.
9. I think the most talented team did win. Both of the teams' Starters did what they could but ultimately Duke's bench player Grayson Allen sparked a run for them to get the lead and win the game later on.

1.) Duke won

3.) 68-63
4.) Tyus Jones led Duke in scoring
5.) He got most of his points off of threes.
6.) Frank Kaminsky led Wisconsin.
7.) He got most of his points off drives and layups.
8.) Rasheed Sulaimon was Duke's best defender. He shut down the opposing team's guards and was the best on-ball defender.
9.) I do think the more talented tam won. Duke has a lot of talent, especially in Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor

Alex Wei, Period 1

1. The Duke Blue Devils won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game.
2. The Wisconsin Badgers lost to the Duke Blue Devils when playing in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game.
3. The final score was 68-63.
4. Tyus Jones was the leading scorer from Duke.
5. Most of Tyus Jones's scored points were free throws.
7. Frank Kaminsky was the leading scorer from Wisconsin.
8. Frank Kaminsky made more free throws than three-pointers. However, technically speaking, 2 three point shots result in one more point than 5 free throws.
9. I believe that Justise Winslow was the best defensive player from Duke. According to the box score of the game, he got the most defensive rebounds and blocks compared to the other players on his team.
10. I am not an avid follower of basketball, so I believe that the talented team did win. They have players like Jahlil Okafor who are highly praised for their skills in basketball.

4.) Tyus Jones
5.) Jump Shots
6.) Frank Kaminsky
7.) Lay ups
8.) Jahlil okafor because he was able to contain kaminsky
9.) No, i do not think that Duke is the most talented team this year. They have lost some games that should have been easy wins. But i do think that duke is a better team than wisconsin because they play together as a team instead of as individuals
