The coronavirus is culprit for a massive national slowdown panic, but can't be connected to quarantine for scoring outbreaks in NCAA Tournament thus far this Century. What's really alarming to playoff pundits is there hasn't been an NCAA playoff game since 1998 where an individual scored at least 40 points and opponent had team-high scorer with at least 30 points.

The only playoff game in history when each squad had a player score more than 40 points was Kentucky beating Notre Dame in 1970 regional semifinals. It doesn't seem possible, but Irish All-American guard Austin Carr erupted for at least 45 points in three NCAA tourney defeats in 1970 and 1971.

A couple of relatively-obscure guards - Michigan's Garde Thompson (career scoring average of 7.2 ppg) and Fairleigh Dickinson's Elijah Allen (10 ppg) - are included among the 13 NCAA playoff shootouts - three in 1990 - when an individual scored at least 40 points while an opponent had team-high scorer with at least 30 points:

Year (Tourney Round)	Result of Playoff Game When Player Scored At Least 40 and Foe Tallied Over 30
1953 (National Third)	Washington 88 (Bob Houbregs game-high 42), Louisiana State 69 (Bob Pettit team-high 36)
1961 (National Third)	St. Joseph's 127 (Jack Egan 42), Utah 120 (Billy McGill 34)****
1970 (Regional Semifinals)	Kentucky 109 (Dan Issel 44), Notre Dame 99 (Austin Carr 52)
1970 (Regional Third)	Iowa 121 (Chad Calabria/John Johnson 31), Notre Dame 106 (Austin Carr 45)
1971 (Regional Third)	Houston 119 (James "Poo" Welch 38), Notre Dame 106 (Austin Carr 47)

1990 (Regional Final)	#1 UNLV 131 (Stacey Augmon 33), #11 Loyola Marymount 101 (Greg "Bo" Kimble 42)
1998 (First Round)	#2 Connecticut 93 (Richard "Rip" Hamilton 30), #15 Fairleigh Dickinson 85 (Elijah Allen 43)

**Double Overtime.
****Four Overtimes.

In 1963, St. Joseph's became the only school to win back-to-back NCAA tourney contests despite an individual opponent erupting for at least 40 points. Two years ago, Purdue guard Carsen Edwards became the ninth different all-in-vain scoring machine to be on the losing end despite supplying at least 40 points in a single playoff game. In addition to the five players acknowledged in summary above, following is a list including Edwards and three other such all-for-naught individuals:

Year (Tourney Round)	Result of NCAA Playoff Game When Player on Losing Team Scored At Least 40 Points
1963 (First Round)	St. Joseph's 82 (Steve Courtin 21), Princeton 81 (Bill Bradley 40)*
1963 (Regional Semifinals)	St. Joseph's 97 (Jim Boyle/Tom Wynne 23), West Virginia 88 (Rod Thorn 44)
1976 (Regional Final)	Michigan 95 (Rickey Green 23), Missouri 88 (Willie Smith 43)
2019 (Regional Final)	Virginia 80 (Kyle Guy 25), Purdue 75 (Carsen Edwards 42)*

*Overtime.

Since they usually weren't the focal point of offense, their postseason competition achievement can get lost in normal All-American traffic for the 14 schools boasting multiple national championships. Despite never participating in a Final Four themselves, there are often-overlooked players who exhibited authentic "One Shining Moment" in NCAA Tournament for a blue-blood program. Two undervalued guards from prominent programs deserving special mention are:

• Ryan Robertson - 31-point outburst for Kansas against Kentucky in overtime in 1999 is higher than all-time tourney best for any of his more-publicized teammates during four-year career (including Raef LaFrentz, Paul Pierce, Scot Pollard and Jacque Vaughn). KU's Robertson, taking only 10 field-goal attempts, is one of six opposing players (including Dayton's Henry Finkel in 1966, Notre Dame's Austin Carr in 1970, Indiana's Kent Benson in 1975, Iowa State's Justus Thigpen Jr. in 1992 and Wichita State's Cleanthony Early in 2014) to score more than 30 points in defeat amid UK's NCAA tourney-high 131 victories. Among the 14 schools with multiple NCAA titles, Academic All-American Robertson has the lowest career scoring average (7.4 ppg) for a "blue-blood school" individual meeting the challenge and registering more than 30 points in a single NCAA playoff game.
• Ranzino Smith - 27-point uprising for North Carolina in only 18 minutes against Loyola Marymount in 1988 matches Michael Jordan's NCAA playoff high (against Temple in 1984). Among the 14 NCAA titlists in question, Smith has the lowest career scoring average (6.5 ppg) for an individual supplying more than 25 points in a single NCAA playoff game.

Twelve of the 14 tourney games summarized below occurred in first or second round. Restricting alphabetical list to schools capturing more than one NCAA title, the following individuals tallied more than 20 points in an NCAA playoff game despite college career scoring average lower than 13 ppg and subsequently not selected in first round of NBA draft:

Multiple-Title School	Unsung Hero (Career Avg.)	HG	NCAA Playoff Opponent	Date
Cincinnati	Leonard Stokes (10.2)	39	UCLA (Second Round)	3-17-02
Duke	Doug Kistler (11.5)	26	Princeton (First Round)	3-8-60
Florida	KeVaughn Allen (12.1)	35	Wisconsin (Regional Semifinals)	3-24-17
Indiana	Andrae Patterson (11.3)	26	Oklahoma (First Round)	3-12-98
Kansas	Ryan Robertson (7.4)	31	Kentucky (Second Round)	3-14-99
Kentucky	Joe Crawford (11.3)	35	Marquette (First Round)	3-20-08
Louisville	Edgar Sosa (9.7)	31	Texas A&M (Second Round)	3-17-07
Michigan State	Darryl Johnson (12.9)	22	Washington (First Round)	3-13-86
North Carolina	Ranzino Smith (6.5)	27	Loyola Marymount (Second Round)	3-19-88
North Carolina State	Ilian Evtimov (9.3)	28	Vanderbilt (Second Round)	3-21-04
Oklahoma State	Corey Williams (10.3)	27	Tulane (Second Round)	3-22-92
San Francisco	Mike Quick (12.6)	25	Long Beach State (Regional Semifinals)	3-15-73
UCLA	Tony Parker (8.3)	28	UAB (Second Round)	3-21-15
Villanova	Alvin Williams (10.9)	31	California (Second Round)	3-15-97

Wally was in a hoops world of his own in NCAA Tournament lore when Wally Szczerbiak of Miami (Ohio) scored a career-high 43 points in a 59-58 victory over Washington in first round of 1999 Midwest Regional. Never before or since has a sterling player been such a dominant solo act in NCAA playoff history. Wally World, a senior forward, accounted for an incredible 72.9% of the RedHawks' output.

While not measuring up to Szczerbiak, four previous players took out do-it-yourself kits and scored more than 60% of their team's points in a single NCAA Tournament game. Following is a summary of the first four one-man shows:

• Danny Manning supplied 62.7% of Kansas' offense by scoring 42 points in the Jayhawks' 67-63 victory against Southwest Missouri State in the second round of the 1987 Southeast Regional. Kansas lost to Georgetown in the regional semifinals, 70-57, when Manning scored 23 points.
• Jim "Bad News" Barnes accounted for 61.8% of Texas Western's offense by scoring 42 points in the Miners' 68-62 victory against Texas A&M in first round of 1964 Midwest Regional. In an abrupt turnaround, it was definitely bad news for Texas Western in its next playoff game. Barnes was whistled for three quick personal fouls in the opening minutes against Kansas State and spent almost the entire first half on the bench. He was assessed fouls No. 4 and No. 5 early in the second half and fouled out with only four points in the Miners' 64-60 defeat.
• Hal Lear manufactured 61.5% of Temple's offense by scoring 40 points in the Owls' 65-59 victory against Connecticut in 1956 East Regional semifinals. Lear tallied 14 points when Temple edged Canisius, 60-58, in regional final before the Owls bowed to Iowa, 83-76, at Final Four despite Lear's 32 points.
• David Robinson furnished 61% of Navy's offense by scoring 50 points in the Middies' 97-82 loss against Michigan in first round of 1987 East Regional.

The three players this century carrying the load coming closest to scoring 60% of their team's points in an NCAA tournament game included:

2013: Khalif Wyatt tallied 31 (59.6% of Temple's output) in a 58-52 setback against Indiana
2011: Jacob Pullen poured in 38 (58.5% of Kansas State's output) in a 70-65 reversal against Wisconsin
2018: Rob Gray registered 39 (58.2% of Houston's output) in a 67-65 win against San Diego State

There is a tendency to shun March Madness preliminary-round games and gear up for real 64-team bracket later in the week. But in the aftermath of NCAA Tournament cancellation a year ago, you may give anything to view a live First Four game rather than an ESPN re-run or ear-splitting Screamin' A. Stiff? The match-ups eliminating four "non-essential" entrants would certainly be more entertaining than last year's ignorant politically-correct ESPN bracket (1/4 of them females) seeding and assessing the premier players in college basketball history.

The "qualifying" round typically featured "last four in" teams or members of automatic-qualification leagues that probably shouldn't be designated NCAA Division I. For instance, the only year a HBCU didn't participate in the first 21 preliminary-round (1983, 1984 and 2001 through 2010) or First Four (since 2011) competition was 2001 when Northwestern State beat Winthrop. Texas Southern's Aaric Murray, the only HBCU player to crack 30-point plateau in the NCAA DI Tournament, shares high-scoring honors at this "prelim" level with Princeton's Kevin Mullin (38 points). Following is a chronological list of authentic "One Shining Moment" scoring performances by six players manufacturing more than 30 points in a preliminary-round game or First Four assignment:

Year	Player	School	Points	Preliminary Round/First Four Foe
1984	Kevin Mullin	Princeton	38	defeated San Diego (65-56)
2002	Prosper Karangwa	Siena	31	defeated Alcorn State (81-77)
2007	Clif Brown	Niagara	32	defeated Florida A&M (77-69)
2014	Aaric Murray	Texas Southern	38	lost against Cal Poly (81-69)
2015	Tyler Haws	Brigham Young	33	lost against Mississippi (94-90)
2019	Darnell Edge	Fairleigh Dickinson	33	defeated Prairie View (82-76)

NOTE: District "play-in" games were conducted from 1939 through 1942 and 1947 through 1950. The highest-scoring game was in 1948 when Baylor beat Arizona, 65-59.

There is a tendency to overindulge at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Anyone digesting the following assortment of incisive facts on most of the NCAA Division I Tournament coaches should find that variety is the spice of this occasionally irreverent smorgasbord. Remember: If a morsel isn't appetizing, don't be a glutton for punishment in trying to comprehend what makes the coaching community tick. Just proceed directly to the next tidbit. Sooner or later, there's bound to be a factoid you can savor. Several of the following mentors were student managers, not players, while attending college:

WISCONSIN: Greg Gard served as an assistant coach under Bo Ryan at three colleges (Wisconsin-Platteville, UW-Milwaukee and the Badgers).

Kansas State came close by dropped 13 consecutive decisions, but averted matching all-time school record of 15 defeats in a row. At least the Wildcats didn't match or surpass the all-time longest losing streak by a current power-conference member - 27 by Syracuse in the early 1960s.

Jim O'Brien was the only individual to coach two current power-league members (Boston College and Ohio State) when they incurred their longest existing losing streak until BC dropped 20 in a row extending to the opener a couple of seasons ago. Former Big East Conference rival Rutgers incurred 15 consecutive reversals to end the 2014-15 season before St. John's bowed in 16 straight decisions in 2015-16. Mizzou wasn't the only Tigers' program in SEC sidelined by tranquilizing-inducing losing streak. LSU dropped 15 consecutive contests when former Tigers coach Johnny Jones frequently looked as strategically befuddled as a chief recruiter losing a satchel full of cash on a recruiting trip. Miserable season this year for North Carolina (14-19) included seven straight ACC setbacks en route to registering 12 reversals in a 14-game span. But at least the Tar Heels didn't set a school standard for most defeats in a row. The following list shows elite basketball schools Creighton, Duke, Iowa, Kentucky, Carolina, Purdue, UNLV, Utah and West Virginia never reaching double figures in consecutive setbacks:

School (Longest Losing Streak)	Coach(es)	Date Started	Date Ended	Opponent Ending Streak	Score
Arizona (16)	Fred Enke	12-19-58	2-14-59	Hardin-Simmons	66-64

When Thomas Wolfe penned, "you can never come home again," he didn't have some successful college basketball coaches in mind. Playoff participation must be extra gratifying for the following eight individuals guiding their alma mater in college basketball's grandest prize - a berth in the NCAA Tournament:

Unless you're busy hoarding toilet paper or cowering in fetal position from college basketball version of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds, it's your opportunity to start taking online tests for 23 quarantined days symbolic of normal time frame from Selection Sunday to Monday evening championship contest.

Emphasizing a "one-and-only" theme for a "one-and-only" event, here is Day 2 of a treasure-trove of tantalizing NCAA Tournament trivia questions from CollegeHoopedia.com tracking the only coach, conference, player or school to be linked to a distinguished or dubious achievement (click here for answers or conduct research digesting historical morsels in CollegeHoopedia's year-by-year highlights):

1. Who is the only individual selected the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player three times? Hint: His real first name was Ferdinand and he is the only player to couple three unanimous first team All-American seasons with three NCAA championships. He is also the only player to hit better than 70% of his field-goal attempts in two NCAA title games.

2. Who is the only coach to twice guide three different schools to the NCAA playoffs in the same decade? Hint: He achieved the feat in a span of six straight seasons and is the only coach to have two different sons play for him in the tourney with two different schools.

3. Who is the only one of the 40 Final Four Most Outstanding Players from 1972 through 2011 not to play for the championship team? Hint: He never led his college team in scoring average in any of his three seasons at the school.

4. Who is the only coach to guide a school to the Final Four as many as five times and never capture the national championship? Hint: He lost each time at the Final Four to the eventual titlist and served as captain for the school's first team in 1946.

5. Name the only current Pacific-12 Conference member never to reach the Final Four. Hint: The school has made more tournament appearances than seven Pac-12 members, but lost three West Regional finals by a total of 40 points before joining the conference. It absorbed the largest margin of defeat for the 14 No. 1 or 2 seeds losing their playoff opener since seeding started in 1979.

6. Name the only conference to have five teams all lose their opening-round game in a single tourney. Hint: The league has had four different schools lose first-round games by more than 20 points against squads with double-digit seeds since seeding started in 1979.

7. Who is the only coach to win a tournament game for four different schools? Hint: He was the only coach in 20th Century to direct four different universities to NCAA playoffs.

8. Who is the only individual to win NCAA titles in his first two seasons as head coach at a school? Hint: He achieved the feat the first year after the eligibility expired for the school's most illustrious player, a three-time UPI Player of the Year who led the nation in scoring each season.

9. Who is the only active coach to take two different schools to the NCAA playoffs in his maiden voyage with them after they posted a losing mark the previous campaign? Hint: He posted the nation's best winning percentage by a first-year major college head coach in 1987-88 when he went 20-10 (.667) in his lone season with yet another school.

10. Name the only school to reach the Final Four in its one and only NCAA Tournament appearance in the 20th Century. Hint: The coach of the Final Four team is only individual to win more than 30 games in earning a trip to national semifinals in his first season.

Answers (Day 2)

Day 1 Questions and Answers

The "Road to the Final Four" is a highway already lined with daydreamers and potholes. Cleveland State, Iona, Oral Roberts and UNC Greensboro were burned before, but assured themselves of participating in this year's NCAA playoffs by winning their postseason conference tourneys. It defies logic why so many mid-majors have been consigned to NIT participation at the expense of power-league members with non-winning conference records. Belmont, which lost to #6 seed Maryland by two points two years ago, was shunned this season despite being the only school in the country with as many victories as unbeaten Gonzaga (26). Adding insult to injury, Belmont wasn't even invited to participate in the NIT's 16-team field. It's as absurd as believing FBI probe involving Louisville, Oklahoma State and Southern California didn't impact their at-large status three seasons ago.

Rather than automatically focusing on underachieving middle-of-the-pack power-alliance affiliates with losing league records, shouldn't teams capturing undisputed regular-season crowns in a Division I conference warrant more extensive consideration as at-large entrants to the NCAA playoffs? Season-long excellence needs to count more than always paying homage to mediocre members of a power league.

Davidson had two of 11 teams from mid-major conferences - Lafayette '78, American '81, Temple '82, William & Mary '83, Coppin State '94, Davidson '96, Austin Peay '04, Davidson '05, Norfolk State '13, Murray State '15 and North Carolina Central '15 - going undefeated in league round-robin regular-season competition but not participating in the NCAA playoffs after losing by a single-digit margin in their conference tournament since at-large bids were issued to schools other than conference champions in 1975.

Saint Mary's is a classic example depicting why many mid-level schools have an inferiority complex. The Gaels three years ago, UNC Greensboro two seasons ago and Coastal Carolina in 2010-11 are the three teams to win 28 games and still be shunned by the committee. Utah State was shunned in 2003-04 despite winning nearly 90% of its games (25-3 record). Would Stephen F. Austin had been shunned last year with 30 wins if it lost in Southland Conference Tournament title tilt? SFA (.871 in 2012-13) is also the only shunned school with a higher winning percentage than Belmont (.867).

Prior to joining the Big East Conference, Creighton's splendid season 10 years ago was downplayed. Know-it-all national media types and committee members may haughtily belittle mid-major achievements because they're from the other side of the tracks, but following is an alarmingly long track record listing chronologically eligible teams winning more than 25 games yet failing to earn invitations to the NCAA playoffs since the field expanded to at least 64 in 1985:

NOTE: Cleveland State (defeated Indiana and Wake Forest), College of Charleston (Maryland), Colorado State (Colorado, Florida and Missouri), Creighton (Alabama, Florida, Louisville and Texas), Davidson (Georgetown, St. John's and Wisconsin), Illinois State (Alabama, Southern California and Tennessee), Louisiana-Lafayette (Oklahoma and Texas), Louisiana Tech (Ohio State and Pittsburgh), ORU (Louisville and Syracuse), Saint Mary's (Villanova), SIU (Arizona, Georgia, Texas Tech and Virginia Tech), Stephen F. Austin (West Virginia), UAB (Indiana, Iowa State, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan State, Missouri, Virginia and Washington), Valparaiso (Florida State and Mississippi) and Vermont (Syracuse) collectively won NCAA playoff games in other years against 32 different power conference members.

Fans fond of the NCAA playoffs argue the incredibly popular event is 100% perfection. Whatever your level of expertise, CollegeHoopedia.com guarantees you a 100% score is impossible for any brave soul willing to take our "Who Am I" quiz.
