38-Oh!

Notre Dame gave the Wildcats (and Big Blue Nation) a scare. Wisconsin gave both a nightmare ending Kentucky’s bid at history. The Badgers will square off against Duke on Monday night for the National Championship after the Blue Devils made easy work of the Spartans.

Now for the important stuff. The scenarios for this pool.

If Wisconsin wins ..

Rank Team Name Best Score Best Correct
1 KIMBERLY AMMON (4) 156 50 Wisconsin (132)
2 thomas e. kakaris (2) 152 48 Wisconsin (155)
3 Joe Lapensee (2) 138 42 Wisconsin (119)
4 Allison Corcoran (3) 134 47 Wisconsin (151)
5 Al Schulte 132 41 Wisconsin (139)

If Duke wins …

Rank Team Name Best Score Best Correct
1 john fiasco 157 44 Duke (146)
2 Jeff Warren 146 43 Duke (146)
3 john fiasco (2) 142 43 Duke (144)
4 or 5 Deanna Manning 139 45 Duke (137)
4 or 5 Tim Dougherty 139 45 Duke (143)

The tie-breaker would only come into play should Duke win to settle 4th and 5th place. Good luck to all in the running … including my dad.
