Which 'baller' bawled his eyes out like a little baby after his team was eliminated in the Sweet 16 of the 2006 NCAA Tournament?

Answered correctly by K Douglas.

his name escapes me but he was from Gonzaga and was a major NBA bust, nice mustache though

This year in the NHL Brandon Hegel(TB) and Aliaksei Protas(WASH) both have 30 or more goals despite having NO power play goals. Up to this year there has been only one NHL player to have 30 or more goals in a regular season without a power play goal. Name the player.

My alternate guess would be someone who played PK and scored a few shorties. Let's go with Esa Tikkanen.

Only 2 NHL players have won the Selke award(best defensive forward) with a minus +/- rating. Name either or both.

Guy Carbonneau
Patrice Bergeron

Who am I?

I was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays as an amateur free agent before my 16th birthday,

I was part of the package of players dealt to the Colorado Rockies days before the 2015 trade deadline when the Blue Jays acquired LaTroy Hawkins and Troy Tulowitzki.

In my second Major League start, in the second game of a doubleheader on the last day of the 2022 season, I was pitching when Aaron Judge hit his 62nd Home Run of the season, to break the all-time American League record.
