Basketball

Since 1960, there have been five cases where the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament (Division 1) came from a team that failed to win the championship. Those years were: 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1983. Three of the players went on to become NBA champions, one of whom is arguably more famous today for his post-basketball career. Name any two of the players.
 

For additional help, here are the championship teams from those years, which, again, did not include the MOP: Cincinnati ('61), Loyola-Chicago ('63), UCLA ('65), Texas Western ('66), N.C. State ('83).
 

(Note: The 1971 award originally went to Howard Porter of Villanova, which lost to UCLA, but was later vacated due to Porter's ineligibility; for the purposes of this question, that will not count as a correct answer.)

Jerry Lucas, Art Heyman, Bill Bradley, Jerry Chambers, Akeem Olajuwon

Obscure

Since 2003, the D3 men’s lacrosse championship has been won by Salisbury 11 times and by Tufts four times. Each school has a nickname unique to them across all NCAA divisions. Name either nickname.

The retired long-distance runner who lit the 2016 Olympic cauldron has a “geographical” surname - a preposition followed by a place of origin. As this man touched the torch to the cauldron, that original place was some 4500 miles to his northeast….but a much more populous place of the same name lay 3000 miles west-northwest of him. What’s the place name?
