"I'm gonna make it to heaven, light up the sky like a flame. I'm gonna live forever. Baby, remember my name." - Theme from 1980s film and TV series Fame

Duke guard Tyus Jones joined Utah's Arnie Ferrin (1944), Louisville center Pervis Ellison (1986), Syracuse forward Carmelo Anthony (2003) and Kentucky center Anthony Davis (2012) as freshmen who became Final Four Most Outstanding Player. Jones was a textbook rise-to-the-occasion playmaker, averaging 14.4 ppg in 18 games against NCAA playoff teams compared to 9.6 ppg in 21 contests against non-tourney opponents. He became the eighth MOP in tourney history who wasn't an All-American, joining Kansas' B.H. Born (1953), Villanova's Ed Pinckney (1985), Indiana's Keith Smart (1987), UNLV's Anderson Hunt (1990), North Carolina's Donald Williams (1993), Kentucky's Jeff Sheppard (1998) and Louisville's Luke Hancock (2013).

Due to Jones' modest size, there are questions regarding how much impact he'll have in the NBA after declaring early for the draft. Perhaps that is why he should also think about what happens when the ball stops bouncing? What did the brightest Final Four stars do in the real world after tolerating the self-righteous Bimbo "Baby Girl" McHenrys of the media world while Father Time took its toll? Did ESPN retain myopic McHenry rather than snarky Bill Simmons because she is more adept at covering the NBA Playoffs? Since Ms. Smug is an expert regarding education, appearance and jobs, perhaps she knows the following individuals weren't always defined solely as basketball standouts after earning acclaim as the Most Outstanding Player at a Final Four:

Former Cornell coach Steve Donahue returned to the Ivy League in a similar capacity at Penn. Donahue was also joined by Duggar Baucom (from VMI to The Citadel) on the following alphabetical list of active coaches who were bench bosses of two different schools in the same conference:

Notre Dame, after defeating Duke twice this season, extended its significant lead in compiling the most all-time victories against teams in a season they went on to capture the NCAA championship. The Fighting Irish, boasting 14 such triumphs despite never winning a Final Four contest, are joined by Maryland (eight), Kentucky (seven), Louisville (seven), St. John's (seven) and Wake Forest (seven) as the only schools defeating more than six eventual NCAA playoff titlists. Louisville leveled Connecticut a total of five times in 2011 and 2014.

St. John's and Wake Forest (achieved feat twice) are among 16 different institutions to prevail in back-to-back seasons against eventual NCAA tourney kingpins. St. John's is the only school to upend three different NCAA-champions-to-be in as many consecutive years (Georgetown '84/Villanova '85/Louisville '86). Wake Forest knocked off four different North Carolina titlists in a 28-year span (1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009).

Michigan State, despite advancing to seven Final Fours under coach Tom Izzo, never has beaten an eventual NCAA champion. Other prominent universities with that dubious distinction include Arizona State, Baylor, Brigham Young, Butler, Colorado, Creighton, Dayton, Penn State, Saint Joseph's, San Francisco, Texas A&M, Texas Christian, Texas-El Paso, Texas Tech, Virginia Tech and Xavier.

Surprisingly, Northwestern has notched three triumphs against NCAA titlists despite never participating in the national tourney. Additional schools with more wins against NCAA kingpins during the regular season than playoff victories include Bowling Green (one tourney triumph), Nebraska (winless), Niagara (two tourney wins), Texas-Pan American (never appeared) and Wright State (winless).

If you are docile and gotten more interested today in the vanguard of state-by-state All-American blackboard information than bored by which state fossil Shrillary Rotten is in with yesterday's Scooby-Doo black van, then campaign with the following strategic knowledge: Only two of 17 All-Americans named by AP, NABC and USBWA this season were homegrown in-state products - Arkansas' Bobby Portis (Little Rock, AR) and Northern Iowa's Seth Tuttle (Sheffield, IA).

Only seven individuals have coached at least 14 All-Americans with one major college. Two years ago, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski broke a tie with Kentucky's Adolph Rupp and moved atop this list. This season, Coach K became the first with as many as 27 when center Jahlil Okafor was honored.

In one of the most overlooked achievements in NCAA history, Harry Combes amassed 16 different All-Americans in his first 19 of 20 seasons as Illinois' mentor from 1947-48 through 1966-67. No other coach has accumulated more than 13 All-Americans in his first 20 campaigns with a single school - North Carolina's Dean Smith (13 in first 20 seasons), Indiana's Bob Knight (12), Krzyzewski (12), Rupp (12), Indiana's Branch McCracken (11), Arizona's Lute Olson (11), UCLA's John Wooden (10) and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim (eight). Recruiting the Chicago metropolitan area won't be a panacea for the struggling Illini, which should remember how 22 different major-college All-Americans in less than 30 years in an earlier era came from Illinois high schools located in towns featuring populations smaller than 20,000.

As a means of comparison, keep in mind inactive NCAA Division I national coaches of the year P.J. Carlesimo, Perry Clark, Tom Davis, Eddie Fogler, Jim Harrick, Marv Harshman, Clem Haskins, Maury John, Jim O'Brien, George Raveling, Charlie Spoonhour and Butch van Breda Kolff combined for 17 All-Americans in a cumulative 251 years coaching at the major-college level. Moreover, prominent active coaches Tommy Amaker, Mike Anderson, Jim Baron, John Beilein, Randy Bennett, Brad Brownell, Mick Cronin, Ed DeChellis, Scott Drew, Fran Dunphy, Bruiser Flint, Tim Floyd, Travis Ford, Mark Gottfried, Brian Gregory, Frank Haith, Trent Johnson, Billy Kennedy, Jim Larranaga, Fran McCaffery, Bob McKillop, Dan Monson, Tubby Smith, Scott Sutton, Mark Turgeon and Gary Waters have combined for fewer All-Americans than Combes. Indiana boasts two of the following seven coaches with the most different All-Americans at one university:

Coach	All-Americans With Single Division I School	School Tenure With Most All-Americans
Mike Krzyzewski	27 All-Americans in first 35 seasons with Duke	1980-81 through 2014-15
Adolph Rupp	23 in 41 seasons with Kentucky	1930-31 through 1971-72 except for 1952-53
Dean Smith	22 in 36 seasons with North Carolina	1961-62 through 1996-97
John Wooden	18 in 27 seasons with UCLA	1948-49 through 1974-75
Bob Knight	17 in 29 seasons with Indiana	1971-72 through 1999-00
Harry Combes	16 in 20 seasons with Illinois	1947-48 through 1966-67
Branch McCracken	14 in 24 seasons with Indiana	1938-39 through 1942-43 and 1946-47 through 1964-65

NOTE: Respected retired mentors Gale Catlett, Mike Deane, Bill Henderson, Shelby Metcalf, Stan Morrison, Bob Polk, Charlie Spoonhour and Ralph Willard never had an All-American despite at least 18 seasons coaching at the major-college level.

Syracuse junior forward Michael Gbinije, a transfer from Duke, secured the satisfaction of posting the highest single-game output this season against the NCAA champion-to-be Blue Devils when he scored 27 points in the Carrier Dome. Gbinije, who averaged a modest 12.7 points per game for the Orangemen, tallied only 12 points in a return match at Duke when he went hit only 5 of 20 shots from the floor against a couple of his former teammates.

Since UCLA's first NCAA championship in 1964, Louisville's Russ Smith has the lowest scoring average (11.5 ppg in 2011-12) for any player who posted the single-game high against an NCAA titlist. Some of the names probably will be surprising, but following is a look in reverse order at the last 52 individuals who posted the season-high scoring total against the NCAA kingpin:

Extra! Extra! As a new season commences, read all about memorable major league baseball achievements, moments and transactions involving former college basketball players! Numerous ex-college hoopsters had front-row seats to many of the most notable games and dates in MLB history.

Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an April 8 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:

APRIL 8

• OF Babe Barna (two-year West Virginia basketball letterman in mid-1930s) purchased from the Philadelphia Athletics by the Washington Senators in 1939.

• In 1974, Los Angeles Dodgers LHP Al Downing (attended Muhlenberg PA on hoop scholarship but left school before playing) yielded Hank Aaron's 715th homer bypassing Babe Ruth.

• RHP Mark Freeman (averaged 3.6 ppg for LSU as a senior in 1950-51) traded by the New York Yankees to the Kansas City Athletics in 1959. Returned to Yankees a month later.

• Cincinnati Reds rookie LF Gary Redus (J.C. player for Athens AL and father of Centenary/South Alabama guard) went 4-for-4 and chipped in with five RBI against the Chicago Cubs in 1983.

• RHP Pete Sivess (played for Dickinson PA in 1935-36) traded by the Philadelphia Phillies with cash to the New York Yankees in 1939.

For whatever nefarious reason, guard Rasheed Sulaimon (scored 14 points in win at Wisconsin early in the season) missed out on some championship bling because he was dropped from Duke's "all good men" roster in mid-season before transferring to former ACC member Maryland. Ditto spring-fever transfers Michael Gbinije (Syracuse) and Alex Murphy (Florida). Gbinije and Murphy joined the following alphabetical list of transfer players denied receiving an NCAA championship ring because they left a school subsequently capturing a national crown:

*Played for a junior college between four-year schools

NOTES: McCaffrey and Palmer played for an NCAA champion with Duke in 1991 and Huertas did with Florida in 2006. . . . King played only one season for Villanova in 2009-10. . . . E. Williams left Memphis after 2009-10 campaign when he declared early for the NBA draft. Likewise for Smith at UNLV following 2013-14 season.
