Facebook's "Doppleganger Week" may be long gone, but with the NCAA Tournament gearing up, I thought it would be a good time to look at some of the biggest names of March Madness and find out who their celebrity look-alike is.

Some of these are dead on, others are kind of a stretch, but all of them you should be able to enjoy.

If you have any of your own, be sure to add them in the comments and supply links to the pictures to plead your case. They may get added.

Matt Bouldin—Frodo

You know, these two aren't that different. They're both on a quest to find a ring.

Only Bouldin is in Syracuse's bracket, so his journey is way easier.

John Calipari—Tim Robbins

Both of these guys have had terrific careers and terrific supporting casts (Morgan Freeman, Tom Cruise, Marcus Camby, Derrick Rose), but only Robbins has won the biggest prize in his field.

Maybe with his strongest cast yet, Calipari can finally get a national title. Who knows, he may even get to keep it afterward.

Derrick Favors—Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon hasn't had the worst career, but I think Derrick Favors has his sights set a little bit higher than one day hosting America's Got Talent and marrying a past-her-prime pop star when he's still in his prime.

Mike Kryzyewski—Splinter

Okay, so I'm not the first person to call Kryzyewski a rat, but come one, the man looks exactly like one.

With those sharp features and beady little eyes... if the Ninja Turtles repeatedly slapped the floor, these two would pretty much be the same person.

DeMarcus Cousins—Baby Huey

This one may be more of a mental thing than a physical thing, but after a year of watching DeMarcus Cousins, there is no other character that fits him so perfectly.

He's a physical specimen and he can move his body better than any big man I've ever seen at his age, but mentally, he's such a little kid. You can see if when he pouts and drops his arms.

Still, the man (and he is a man) can do some pretty big damage this tournament.

Bruce Pearl—Lou Ferrigno

If you are one of the unfortunate souls who saw Bruce Pearl shirtless and painted orange, you'll know that this comparison stops at the neck.

Luke Harangody—Jesse Plemons

Harangody and Plemons will have a lot more in common very soon, because after Notre Dame is done in the tournament, neither of them will be real athletes.

Plemons just plays one on TV (Friday Night Lights), and Harangody used to be one in college.

Jay Wright—Chris Noth

If I could have anything good come out of this slideshow, I would wish that some Villanova player saw this and that Wright's new nickname on the team became "Mr. Big."

A man can dream.

Greg Monroe—Deebo from Friday

Both of these guys look intimidating as hell, but when you stand up to them, they turn out to be a lot more bark than bite.

Monroe changed that a bit in the Big East tournament, but he'll have to continue his play in March Madness to really convince me otherwise.

Tom Izzo—Michael McKean

Izzo and McKean both really want to be Best In Show, but with MSU facing a possible Sweet 16 matchup against Kansas, that's going to be tough.

Jon Scheyer—McCaulay Culkin

If and when Duke loses, I'd love to be able to go up to Scheyer and say, "Look what you did, you little shit."

Bob Huggins—Arzt from Lost

This may be a bit of a random "celebrity," but as a huge Lost fan, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between Huggy Bear and Mr. Leslie Arzt.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Huggins handle some unstable dynamite in the future, especially before WVU goes up against my Cats.

Evan Turner—Marlon Wayans

Well, now we know that if a movie ever gets made about Evan Turner, it's guaranteed to be a really crappy one.

Jim Boeheim—Milhouse

Our favorite bespectacled Simpsons character goes nicely with our favorite bespectacled coach. They both are kind of a little bit bland, but lovable at the same time.

Greivis Vasquez—The Situation

Yeah... these are not two well-liked guys.

With the exception of Maryland fans and Vasquez, almost any guy on earth would probably love to get one good, clean punch in the face on both of them.
