Period 4- 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 University

2. University of Wisconsin

3. 68 to 63 in favor of Duke

4. My man Tyus Jones

5. Pull up jumpshots, shots coming off screens free throws

6. Frank Kaminsky

7. post ups and free throws

8. I would say Amile Jefferson because when he was matched up o kaminsky he completely shut him down with his athleticism.

9. For sure Duke is the most talented team Kaminsky and Dekker are good players but they are slow and nonathletic, also have no NBA potential and will not progress much in my opinion. On the other hand Duke is stacked with a combination of fundamentals and athleticism with players like Jahlil Okafor who is a fundamentally sound big man and justice winslow who is a lock down defender with a consistent jump shot.

1. Duke

2. Wisconsin

3. 68 - 63

4. Tyus Jones

5. mostly midrange jumpers

6. Frank Kaminsky ( really the answer to #7 but a number was skipped)

7. From the post

8. Justise Winslow because he (not just in this game) is does well at causing turnovers and intercepting passes. He led in defensive rebounds and blocks.

9. No because I think Wisconsin should have won the game and they let it slip away from them. Also I hate Duke so nothing they win will ever seem deserving to me.

2.) Wisconsin
3.) 68-63
4.) Tyus Jones
5.) Jumpshots
6.) frank Kaminsky
7.) Lay-ups
8.) Jahil Okafor becuase he was so tall and was able to block shots easily and he had long arms which allowed him to get steals
10.) No because the refs made some stupid calls that eliminated wisconsin from the tournament
