Quotes of the Day
“If anything, I thought it took too long. I thought my at-bats were terrible, too.”
Bo Bichette, on fans booing him because he is 1-14, with 8 strikeouts
Monday’s quiz
Other than John Wooden, who is the only Basketball Hall of Famer to coach UCLA?
Sunday’s quiz
Last time Illinois made the Final Four, they lost to North Carolina in the national title game.
Saturday’s quiz
Last time the Oakland A’s won the World Series, they beat the Giants in 1989.
**************************************************
Epic collapse by Duke; they led 44-25 late in first half.
Duke led by 5 with 1:50 left in the game.
LY at the Final Four, Duke led by 6 with 1:14 left, lost 70-67 to Houston.
UConn-Illinois is one semi-final Saturday in Indianapolis.
— It has been four years since Jon Scheyer replaced Mike Krzyzewski as Duke’s coach:
2022-23- 27-9/14-6, lost in NCAA 2nd round
2023-24- 27-9/15-5, lost in NCAA Elite 8
2024-25- 35-4/19-1, lost in national semi-final
2025-26- 35-3/17-1, lost in NCAA Elite 8
— Long time ago, a coach named Gene Bartow replaced John Wooden as UCLA’s career; Wooden/Krzyzewski are probably the two best college coaches ever. Bartow was a very good coach, but lasted only two years replacing Wooden:
1975-76- 28-4/13-1, lost in national semi-final
1976-77- 24-5/11-3, lost in NCAA Sweet 16
Bartow went on to start up a new program at UAB; he went 365-204 in 19 years with the Blazers, making the NCAA Tournament eight times.
Could it be that Scheyer will become this generation’s version of Gene Bartow?

— Not sure why there only 12 baseball games Sunday; very unusual for six teams to have a Sunday off. Also unusual that all 30 teams are scheduled to play Monday.
— Marlins 4, Rockies 3

Tatsuya Imai gave up four runs in 2.2 IP, in his MLB debut.
— Movie of the Day: Bulworth (1988)- A suicidal, disillusioned politician puts out a contract on himself, and then becomes bluntly honest with his voters, with interesting results.
Warren Beatty is the politician, Christine Baranski his wife, Halle Berry the hit man hired to kill him. Excellent cast; Jack Warden, Don Cheadle, Paul Sorvino, Wendell Pierce, Oliver Platt, Joshua Malina, Randee Heller, Larry King are all in this movie.
— Brewers 9, White Sox 7

— Last year, when a team had a guy on third and no one out, that runner scored 82% of the time.
— Sunday in Baltimore, with umpire Chris Segal behind the plate, teams challenged 10 ball/strike calls; seven of the ten calls were overturned.
