Ogden / W Ogden / Wilson Ln / Wilson / OfficeJay Bilas explains why the level of play in the Ivy League has exponentially improved within the last few years and says the matchup between Yale and Duke in the second round of the NCAA tournament will give the Bulldogs a new sense of confidence. PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- They will arrive, sweaters casually draped over their shoulders and clutching Kate Spade bags, their sockless feet shoved into loafers and their collars perfectly popped, to root for their team -- either the undermanned scrappers from that rough-and-tumble campus of Duke University or the plucky underdogs from the hardscrabble world of Yale University.And America will pause to light a candle and mourn the temporary death of March Madness

, when the light-beer game stepped aside for the Chardonnay crowd.Duke versus Yale, elite versus upper-crust, Biff versus Bronwyn.The two teams' tale of the tape does not just include points per game for each team (81.5 for Duke, 75.2 for Yale) but also the average SAT score for the Class of 2019 (between 1400 and 1590 for Duke; and 1410-1590 for Yale) and their acceptance rates (11 percent for Duke, 6.3 for Yale).It's an easy layup of a comparison, one that doesn't frankly play out on the basketball court at all -- down to seven guys, the Blue Devils have made their way on grit more than glamour, while the Yalies rely on their defense and rebounding -- but why should that stop anyone?Since the two teams won their first-round NCAA tournament games Thursday to set up Saturday's game, a thousand memes and GIFs have been born in their honor, plenty finding their way to the players' social media feeds.So to get to the bottom of this issue of Preppy Power Play, we decided to ask the tough questions:What's the toughest or most interesting class you've taken?

Chase Jeter: "Anthropology of media, film and Facebook. tna coat priceThe title is a little misleading. áo hoodie nữ hà nội 2014It sounds easier than it is. nicholas mcdonald hoodiesLike anything with anthropology, you've always got to ask the question, 'Why? north face denali hoodie boyIt looks at conservationism and extinction rates about a variety of species."Matt Jones: "Probably a computer science class I'm taking right now. I've got to put my mind around it, especially when it's a class I don't really want to be in."Grayson Allen: "I took a psychology of business class. That wasn't hard but it was interesting, just looking at finance and business and how psychology plays a role."

Brandon Ingram: "Public speaking. I think I'm pretty good at it, but it was interesting, the teacher made it interesting with the assignments she gave us."Blake Reynolds: "Bioethics and law. It's a little tough. It's dealing with the legal and moral impacts on different medical cases, like medical malpractice and the ethics and legality of it all."Anthony Dallier: "I'd say freshman year calculus. I got a B-minus, but going into the final, you could have told me I would have gotten anywhere from a B-plus to a D and I would have believed you. Yeah I was going to be an economics major but I realized I wasn't really a math guy, so that's why I switched to political science."Nick Victor: "I took a class on the Rwandan genocide and it talked about what preceded it, and the different approaches that have come out because of it."Brandon Sherrod: "The moral foundation of politics. It was very dense and it was taught in a lecture format, so you didn't have as much of an intimate conversation and relationship with your professor."

Asked if he could then explain the Donald Trump phenomenon, Sherrod laughed. Do you have a thesis due anytime soon?Victor turned in his on for-profit colleges and how they target lower-income communities in December. "I had like 40 pages to write in three weeks." Justin Sears and Brandon Sherrod are currently working on theirs. Sears has a book to read and a movie to watch on Rwandan genocide, his thesis topic. "Yeah, it really brings you down and I don't want to do that right now. Sherrod is six pages (double-spaced) into an at least 25-page paper on the quality of education at charter schools in Bridgeport, Connecticut, versus public schools there and whether charter schools should receive state funding. "It's really hard when you're on the road."Allen on Sears' thesis: "Wow, that sounds a little bit challenging. Props to him for trying to do that in March." No, I don't think I could do that."Popped collars and Vineyard Vine labels on your campus?Jones: "We see guys with the jeans, sweaters, that whole alumni look.

You definitely see it. I wear my Duke-issued hoodie and gear.""I'd say a rough estimate, maybe 20 to 40 percent of our students wear that. Do you own a pair of boat shoes?Duke: Yes: Allen, sort of. "I don't now, but I wore them in high school but we had to wear a uniform." No: Ingram, Jones.Yale: Yes. "Looking around this room, maybe 30 percent," Sears said. Told Dallier owns a pair, Sears amended his estimate. OK, maybe 50 percent."Duke: No. "No, no I can't sing at all," senior Plumlee said. Rejoining his ROTC battalion and finishing the paperwork for his spring commissioning in the Army.Yale: Yes. Sherrod spent a year with the elite singing troupe and still sings to himself at the free-throw line.Matt Damon likes vodka martinis, Saoirse Ronan gets her acceptance-speech tips by Googling Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett isn’t sure where she can go as an actress after making “Carol.” Those are three of the things we learned at Saturday night’s Awards Gala at the 2016 Palm Springs International Film Festival, an annual fundraiser that raised more than $2.4 million for the Palm Springs International Film Society and filled the Palm Springs Convention Center with more than 2,000 people to see a handful of awards hopefuls receive awards during a key period of Oscar voting.

As always, the Palm Springs Awards Gala was a curious event — a glitz-fest whose longtime host, Mary Hart, seems more excited to shill for the jewelry Martin Katz has loaned her than the stars she’s there to introduce; a fundraiser for a film festival that for the rest of its run is actually more interested in booking international art films and intriguing indies than luring Hollywood stars; a stop on the Oscar campaign trail that takes place in the desert 100 miles east of Los Angeles, long a popular vacation, second-home and retirement spot for Hollywood, but not a hotbed of voters compared to events like the Governors Awards.

Here are some of the other things we learned on Saturday night: 1. It’s all about the Oscars. Palm Springs International Film Society Chairman Harold Matzner pointed out in his opening remarks that 28 of the 31 Palm Springs honorees during the last three years went on to Oscar nominations, and host Mary Hart showed a shaky grasp of the awards calendar when she insisted, “Right here is ground zero for awards season. It truly starts right here.” In other words, the gala is really going after bragging rights and trying to predict what Oscar voters will do.

While Matzner said there had been no specific threats directed at the event, he also said the security was tighter than ever before. The Convention Center, he said, was encircled by armed S.W.A.T. team vehicles, with every entrance guarded by police personnel. “That is not what we should have to do in America,” he said, “but it’s the right thing to do and we did it.”

3. The Palm Springs audience is not necessarily the most film-savvy group. The crowd in the cavernous Convention Center is filled with well-heeled locals and with tables bought by sponsors — not necessarily the kind of audience that would have rushed out to see indies like “Room,” “Brooklyn,” “Spotlight” and Carol,” or even one that listens too closely to the speeches from those films’ stars and creators. “I’ve never been to a film festival that ignores its speakers as much as this one,” cracked a good-natured Christian Bale as he accepted the Ensemble Performance Award as part of the “Big Short” cast. And after Larson’s speech accepting the Breakthrough Performance Award, Hart took the stage to say, “Can I tell you, those of you who have not seen [‘Room”] — and I would think that’s most of you — go see it.” Also Read: 'Room' Director Explains How He Protected 8-Year-Old Star From Film's Dark Side 4. The year did not inspire passion.

Unlike in past years, the gala did not produce a single standing ovation for any of the honorees. In fact, presenter Helen Mirren, who gave the Spotlight Award, Actor to Cranston, may well have gotten the biggest ovation of the night. And “Spotlight” director Tom McCarthy noticed something from the stage about the guy giving him the Sonny Bono Visionary Award, Michael Keaton. “He’s definitely gotten more applause than I have at this point,” said McCarthy. “That’s a little unnerving, but not unexpected.” 5. Cameraderie beats competition… Inside the hall, Damon stopped to give McCarthy a hug when he walked by director’s table, and also shared Ridley Scott stories with Fassbender. In TheWrap’s studio before the gala began, Blanchett stopped to talk to Carell, Larson and Vikander chatted happily, and Ronan asked Tony winner Cranston for advice on her upcoming Broadway debut in “The Crucible.” And on stage, Blanchett praised Ronan to the skies, Fassbender cited Frank Sinatra in calling Kate Winslet “a real broad” and Mara thanked Blanchett for treating her as an equal “even though I have not done nearly enough to deserve that.”

That was not a good day.” 7. To Bryan Cranston, there’s only one Blacklist. When the star of “Trumbo” accepted his award, his humorous speech grew serious at the end when he talked about the legacy of what had happened to Dalton Trumbo and other writers who had been jailed and banned from Hollywood in the 1950s for their political views. “‘The Blacklist’ is not a show on NBC,” he insisted. “Also, the Blacklist is not that list that screenwriters want to get on, so that their screenplays will get sold.

I’d like to see a change in that name.” Also Read: Bryan Cranston Talks Going 'Out on This Limb' to Play Eccentric Writer Dalton Trumbo (Video) 8. Business and art can be an uneasy combination. When Fassbender accepted his International Star Award, Actor for playing the title role in “Steve Jobs,” he mentioned the film’s disappointing grosses, while noting another, far more lucrative production from the same studio. After thanking Universal Pictures for taking a chance on the risky, talky production, he said, “I believe you have a movie that will stand the test of time.” “Unfortunate about the box office figures, but thank God for ‘Jurassic World.'” Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor recipient Depp, meanwhile, gave a rambling speech, amusing and unfocused, which included thanking Warner Bros. for allowing him to take chances and do daring things with his character in “Black Mass.” Studios, he said, do not always embrace odd choices. “I’ve experienced that unhappiness a bit from studios,” he said.

“Is Michael Eisner here?” (The former Disney executive, who presided over the studio for which Depp made the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, was not.)

Damon opted to thank only one person in his speech: Ridley Scott, who directed him in “The Martian” and presented him with the award. “He’s just a master director,” said Damon. “There are a handful of them on planet Earth, and he’s one of them. I thought he already had an Academy Award — he directed a Best Picture winner, ‘Gladiator,’ but he didn’t produce it … He’s given more than enough to cinema, and I hope that this is his year.” Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren Lead Parade of Stars at Palm Springs Film Fest (Updating Photos) The 27th annual Southern California gathering runs through Jan. 11 The awards gala was held at the Palm Springs Convention Center on January 2, 2016.
