This is Dot.
Dot is hot.
***
Shot after shot,
from any spot.
Dot is very much,
terribly hot.
***
Against Saint Louis,
Dot did play.
Five of six,
from far away.
Going home,
is Saint Lou-ay,
but Dot and his Ducks
are here to stay.
***
Dot is hot,
so very hot.
And Oregon needs
most every shot.
***
For looming near
is Pitino's team,
whose full-court press
is like a bad dream.
Forcing steals
here and there.
It's sure to give
any team a scare.
Led by Siva
and Smith comma Russ
who will surely give
our guards a fuss.
And Gorgui Dieng
from Senegal,
whose size makes any
man feel small.
***
But the Fighting Ducks
are undeterred.
In other words,
they sho' ain't scurred.
The streaky Emory,
and the fearless Loyd
two men any team
will want to avoid.
And Crafty Kazemi,
who plays the game smart.
His role in this team
is no cameo part.
Collecting the boards
on the offensive end
has caused Oregon
to really contend.
***
But back to the plot,
and in case you forgot,
our young friend Dot
is most certainly hot.
For a stretch this year,
he was decidedly not.
Coach Altman said, "Dot,
give me what you got."
And Dot gave,
he fought and he fought.
And now the Ducks are
in a very Sweet spot.
***
Can the Ducks give the world
a precipitous jolt?
Shocking the bracket
like a lightning bolt.
Only time will tell,
on Friday they'll play,
the Ducks and the Cards,
an avian soiree.
But if Dot stays hot,
this team has a chance
to further move on,
in this year's Big Dance.
