A little warmorama and then we got right to the main event.

This beatdown was a continuation from last week’s Mayhem, March Madness part 1 where we did ACC Tournament trivia thru the decades. Part 2 today was NCAA Tournament trivia through the decades.

Started out with Partner dora. Partner 1 exercises while Partner 2 runs up the hill and back – then switch

1930’s – What was the year of the first NCAA tournament? How many teams competed? Who won?  1939. Eight teams. Won by the Oregon Webfoots (Ducks) – 39 burpees

1940’s – What school won back to back championships in the 40’s? Oklahoma A&M (State) 1945-46 – 46 squats

1950’s – What legendary coach won his first NCAA title in 1957 with North Carolina? Frank McGuire. 57 merkins

1960’s – Which school won 10 NCAA championships in 12 seasons starting in 1964? UCLA – 64 hillbillies

1970’s – What famous individual rivalry was showcased in the 1979 championship game, featuring Michigan State and Indiana State? Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird – 79 Mike Tysons (crowd pleaser)

1980’s – Who hit the game-winning shot for NC State in the 1983 championship, leading to coach Jim Valvano’s famous celebration? Lorenzo Charles – 83 hand release merkins (another crowd pleaser!)

1990’s – What team won the 1997 NCAA championship after surviving a record three overtime games in the tournament? Arizona – 97 LBC’s

End of partner dora. The rest were OYO

2000’s – What coach won his first national championship with Syracuse in 2003, led by freshman Carmelo Anthony? Jim Boeheim – 3 burpees

2010’s – Which school became the first No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed in 2018? UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) – 18 wide merkins

2020’s – What team won its first-ever NCAA championship in 2021 after an undefeated regular season? Baylor defeated Gonzaga in the final – 21 SSHops

Then back to start for Mary.

TIME

Announcements: Upcoming Q’s – Wobegone has Alcatraz tomorrow; Five Dollar has Bells and Whistles Wednesday (do not come!); Zesty has Urban Assault next Friday – way to step up men! Q school next Saturday 0630 before Purgatory at Speas.

Prayer requests – Five Dollar’s mom surgery this morning. YHC brother in law starting dialysis today.

Thanks for playing along with my silly trivia. I think Zesty was the unofficial winner today. But Dr Toot’s crown from part 1 last week is secure. It was an honor to Q for this great group of men – nice work!
